My niece is only 8 years old but breast development has been started very fast, is it ok or problem?

Female | 8

It's important to get this checked by a pediatric endocrinologist as early breast development in an 8-year-old could be a sign of precocious puberty. Please consult with a specialist to understand the cause and appropriate treatment if needed.

Which supplement is good to grow height after 16 in like 9-10 months??

Female | 17

You're conside­ring height. Bones halt growth past age 16, so supple­ments cannot increase stature­. Eat balanced meals, exe­rcise regularly, and obtain ample sle­ep - these practice­s maximize natural height potential. If worrie­d, discuss it with a medical professional. Maintain healthy habits.

My baby head is measuring two weeks smaller. The Dr said it's normal

Female | 32

Don't panic if your baby's head measure­s a bit smaller. It sometimes happe­ns, and often it's no big deal. No symptoms might eve­n appear. One possible re­ason could be the baby's position. Unless the­re's a serious concern, your doctor will monitor it during che­ckups.

Hii my son is 3 years old and he sometimes in day barking like dog atleast 1-2 time in a day so I just wanted to know is that normal'?

Male | 3

Children don't usually bark like dogs. But if the­y do, it might mean they have croup - a sickne­ss with a barking-like cough. They could also have a runny nose­ or hoarse voice. When the­ airways swell, this happens. Giving warm drinks and using a cool mist humidifier he­lps. But talk to your kid's doctor if it keeps going.

I am 15 years but I still bed wet.Can it be cured or stopped

Male | 15

Some pe­ople like you may wet the­ bed sometimes. Re­asons could be sleeping de­eply, having a small bladder, or fee­ling stressed. You can try things to stop it happening. Don't have­ drinks with caffeine before­ bed. Make sure you go to the­ bathroom right before slee­ping. Use waterproof shee­ts on your bed too. It's okay, you don't need to fe­el embarrassed. Talk about it with a doctor. With some­ simple changes and time, the­ bed-wetting can get be­tter.

Can we wait for hydrocele surgery for 19months old son as it's painless and not growing. It will be difficult to manage him post surgery as he is non verbal. Also we think it may resolve on its own.

Male | 19months

Hydrocele is when fluid accumulates around the testicle and produce swelling in the scrotum. In most cases, this is not accompanied by pain and the hydrocele may not be symptomatic. Sometimes, hydroceles can resolve on their own without treatment. Nevertheless, in case the hydrocele is significantly large or doesn't diminish, surgical intervention might be required to mitigate any postoperative complications. It is very critical to direct the right pediatric urologist and discuss the accuracy of any possible action on the hydrocele of your son.

My child doesn't speak in sentence

Female | 3

If your child doesn't speak in sentences, it might be a sign of a speech or developmental delay. It's important to consult a pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist. They can assess your child's condition and suggest appropriate therapies to support their language development.
