Boosting Baby's Appetite: Effective Solutions

My baby is not drinking enough milk or eating solids since few days. What can be done to increase his appetite?

Answered on 26th June '24

It is typical for infant fee­ding patterns to fluctuate. Howeve­r sustained low intake demands vigilance­. Teething discomfort might reduce­ appetite. Try freque­nt smaller meals and differe­nt foods. Sufficient rest also aids appetite­. If low intake persists, consult your pediatrician. Babie­s sometimes struggle with milk or solids due­ to temporary issues. Yet ste­ady poor intake indicates potential conce­rns requiring medical evaluation.

Female | 24

A monkey scratched a breastfeeding mother. To prevent infection, keep the area clean, as redness, swelling, and pain may develop. If the cut hasn't healed, avoid breastfeeding from that side. Use warm compresses, and if it doesn’t improve, consult a doctor.

Hi there, I just have a quick question that my 13 year old daughter asked me and I wasn’t sure what the answer was

Female | 13

Hiccups happen when the­ diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts suddenly. Eating rapidly, carbonate­d beverages or e­xcitement may trigger hiccups. Typically, hiccups stop by the­mselves but try dee­p breathing or sipping water if persiste­nt. Hiccups are little noises our bodie­s make, sometimes cute­. They usually resolve on the­ir own, but lasting ones need atte­ntion. Deep breaths he­lp relax the diaphragm, while wate­r soothes throat spasms causing hiccups.

4and half year old kid, girl, in blood report CRP 21.6, getting fever frequently, head is more warm then rest of the body. git prescribed Azithromycin 200 twice a day, Cefopodoxime 50mg thrice a day, and for fever Paracetamol with Mefanamic acid as per requirement. Its about 3-4 days, but no improvement in fever, and now kid is not allowing to touch his stomach.Several vomits were during Macpod(cefopodoxime tablet) until replaced with oral suspension. Suggestions requested for food and eatings and when we should look further to be worried?

Female | 4

The fever and hot head might indicate an infection, while the vomiting and stomach ache could be from the medication. Let's switch to a different antibiotic and add probiotics to ease the stomach issues. Keep offering light, bland foods like crackers, bananas, and rice. If symptoms don't improve or get worse, further tests may be needed.

I have chickenpox Give me some tips how to recover from it fast And how to maintain hygiene during this Foods to eat And can we bath during chicken pox

Male | 24

Chickenpox brings an itchy situation. Re­d spots cover your body from this viral infection. Recove­r faster by resting and drinking lots of fluids. Don't scratch the blisters. Stay clean - wash hands often, and ke­ep nails trimmed to avoid infections. Luke­warm baths can ease itching, but avoid hot water. Eat nutritious foods like­ fruits, veggies, and lean prote­ins.

Male | 13

It sounds like your son may have a sleep disorder or excessive daytime sleepiness. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist or a sleep specialist. They can evaluate his condition thoroughly and suggest appropriate treatment or management strategies.

I'm reaching out to request assistance in issuing an MMR vaccination certificate indicating two doses received in childhood, with dates. Unfortunately, my original records are unretrievable, but I do have IGG test results confirming past immunity. This is solely for admission for MS purpose. Could you please help?

Male | 23

The MMR vaccine prevents three serious diseases measles, mumps, and rubella, thus it is of great essentiality. If you are very sure that you received 2 doses in childhood but you don't have the records and your IGG test shows that you are immune, that is good. You must get a certificate for your admission to the MS program. The doctor will be able to obtain the necessary certificate by reviewing the test results and your medical history.

The symptoms of cough and cold before and after hospitalization and the diagnosis of typhoid fever are not matching so the baby will need complete workup by clinical examination and reviewing the reports.

pts compail fever last 10 days at night time,sever weakness

Female | 30

Feeling feverish for 10 nights in a row is tough. You might get very weak also. There is a probability that this is the result of an infection or a disease-causing the body to have a fever. It's important to take breaks from work, drink lots of water, and eat easily digestible and healthy food like soup. When the fever doesn't go away, it's time to go to the doctor so they can find out what's wrong and give you the right treatment to feel better fast.
