Is hernia in 6-year-old boys common?
My brother age 6 years hernia problem
General Physician
Answered on 1st July '24
It's possible that your brother has a hernia. This happens when something inside pushes through a weak area in his belly muscles. You might see a lump or he might feel pain in his belly or groin. Hernias are common in young kids. He will likely need surgery to fix the hernia. Be sure to talk to a doctor.

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.

my son has a tongue tie, pls suggest me what to do, he is 1 month 4 days old
Male | 1month
When a muscle under the tongue is too tight, it's called a tongue tie. Babies may struggle to nurse, sticking their tongue out, or even speaking later. A fast procedure named a frenotomy releases that tight tissue. Quick and painless, it fixes the issue. Reach out to a pediatrician. They'll guide you on if it's needed.

Neck troncesse age 4 yere
Male | 4
A 4-year-old may experience neck stiffness. Poor posture or minor injury strains the neck muscles. Turning the neck becomes difficult. Gentle neck movements help. Apply a warm compress. Give pain relievers if needed. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a pediatrician.

Hi My daughter is suffering from throat pain and coughing
Female | 5
Colds or throat infections commonly cause sore throat and coughing. Our body reacts when we're sick. It makes our throats hurt and causes coughing. Give her lots of water, rest, and warm soup. These aid recovery. If she doesn't improve soon, visit a pediatrician.

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.

Hi am Claire 25 years I gave birth to a baby boy but with brain damage.He is 8months now and he can sit coz he can’t balance his neck
Male | 0
This means that the child could have low muscle tone i.e. hypotonia which could be an indication of brain damage. Other examples include delays in learning new tactics and staying strong like rolling and crawling. It's crucial to get a pediatrician's advice to get the optimal treatment

My 10 month old daughter poops after every feed..wether I give her milk or banana or cerelac...she poops after eating or drinking anything...pls suggest something
Female | 10 month old
It's usual for newborns to poop after eating, yet a consistent movement with a loose or watery content could indicate a sensitive stomach. The probable cause of this might be a certain food in its diet that is not serving well to her. Your food diary can point you in the right direction by showing you the link between her reaction to food and food consumption. It will be worthwhile to discuss this with a pediatrician, who will reassure you about its healthiness and help you figure out ways to get rid of it if there is any malaise. Make sure your child gets enough fluids and give her foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice and bananas.

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.

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.

My daughter is getting fever every month from last 3 months. The gap is between 2 fever is 4-5 week.every time pattern of the fever is same. It remains for 5 days first 2 days comes in every 4-5 hours then next 2 days comes in every 13-14 hours and last 5th day it comes only once in 24 hours and then it goes.along with fever she get sore thorat as well every time. Is it just a viral or periodic fever syndrome because every time pattern and time is same
Female | 2
Based on your description, your daughter may have recurrent fever syndrome. This condition involves frequent episodes of high body temperature occurring in a regular pattern. It can result from various causes, such as infections, inflammation, or genetic factors. Since she also has a sore throat, a viral infection is likely the cause. Ensure she gets plenty of rest, drinks a lot of water, and takes fever-reducing medication if she has a fever. Make an appointment with a pediatrician as soon as possible and get her checked regularly.
