Accidentally took double Loratadine dosage. Is it dangerous?
My brother is 8 years old and he is 25 kg. He take 10mg Loratadine everyday and it has been 8 days since he started taking it. Today he accidentally took 20 mg. First time he took it was 3 hours ago and second time was 40 minutes ago. What can we do? Is it dangerous? We don’t have availability for doctor right now.

Answered on 12th Dec '24
Accidentally taking a higher dose of Loratadine can cause symptoms like drowsiness, headache, or fast heartbeat, especially in children. Since your brother took 20 mg instead of 10 mg, it's important to monitor him closely for any unusual symptoms. Try to keep him calm and hydrated. If you notice severe symptoms or you're concerned, please seek immediate medical advice from a pediatrician or visit the nearest hospital for evaluation and guidance.

Male | 4
Variations exist when kids develop speech skills. If speaking challenges arise with your son, potential reasons could be hearing issues, developmental delays, or simply taking more time. I suggest seeking a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a speech therapist. They'll provide insight into nurturing his speech progress.

In some situations, consuming one could lead to tummy troubles, puking, or diarrhea. Monitor your baby closely for any odd signs. Usually, the body will flush it out naturally. However, if severe symptoms arise or their behavior seems off, don't hesitate to call a pediatrician.

My baby girl has whitish uvula this is confusing me is it normal in Newborn kindly help me with it
Female | 1.5 months
A whitish uvula in newborns is perfectly normal, which is the small dangly thing that hangs in the back of the throat. This can be caused by the buildup of milk or mucus. If your baby is not having any issues with breathing or feeding, then there is usually no reason to worry. Simply after it. If your baby is having trouble breathing or feeding, get in touch with a pediatrician.

My son is 6 year old. He is unable eat full meals. He complains he is full after eating half of the food especially rice. He is OK eating small meals. He says no non veg foods which he used to eat. I am seeing this issue especially after Covid for past 1 year . Should I worry about this? Should I just give more time? His weight is not at all increasing. He is at 22 for the past 1 year. His height has increased but becoming very lean. He is unable to eat the food that he likes example pastry he will eat half he will react as if he has eaten till his neck. Which specialist should I consult?
Male | 6
Your son seems to have eating troubles after Covid. This issue needs attention. Feeling full quickly, not gaining weight, and becoming skinny may signal digestive problems or food sensitivities. See a pediatric gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment plan. You're wise noticing his changed eating habits and seeking help early. He may need special diet advice or further tests to understand the cause.

What should be the height,weight and head circumference of 6 years 7 month old girl
Female | 6
Some studies show 6-year-olds usually grow 110-120 cm. high, while their weight runs 18-26 kilograms, and after the head circumference is between 50-53 cm. If the kid is exceptionally small or big then one may suspect that it is because of her nutrition, genes, or a growth issue. You should control her food, she should get enough rest, and also move. If you have doubts, refer her to a pediatrician.

Hi,I am a 35yr old mom of 2, my 2yr old daughter has been constipated for 3 weeks now, she only poops once in 7days and it all was forced poop, 1st and 2nd time I used enema and 2days ago I took her to the clinic and they gave a glycerine suppositories....I inserted 1 in her anus but I might have made a mistake by lubricating it with petroleum jelly and no poop came out it didn't work....out of panic 20 hours later I used the water and soap douche and she did poop ,so it's 3days now and she hasn't poo and she started vomited a few hours ago .
Female | 2
In a state when a child does not poop for an extended period, it may bring a feeling of uneasiness and cause vomiting in the child's body. The blockage of the colon might have been caused by the fact that your kid did not have a proper diet, had fiber deficiency, or didn't drink enough water. Give her to eat more fruits, and vegetables, and drink water.

Mere baby ne aaj subah pale yellow stool paas kiya hai sir. And Yesterday se vo sirf curd ,mother feed or pani pee raha. Kal banana bhi khaya tha chapati nai kha raha Plz tell solution Iam very worried .
Male | 1
This could be related to the liver, gallbladder, or a change in diet. The stool color might change if your baby isn't eating his snacks. To be safe, monitor your baby's stool color, and if the change persists, consult your pediatrician. Keep offering a variety of foods to find out what your baby likes to eat.

foaming while sleeping for my 3 year old
Female | 3
Foaming during slumber for a 3-year-old could stem from excess drooling. This occurrence is typical as teeth develop. At times, it may resemble foam. It doesn't usually signify a severe issue. Ensuring your child's head is slightly elevated while resting might alleviate the situation. Additionally, utilizing a soft pillowcase may absorb the drool. However, if your child exhibits breathing difficulties or persistent coughing, seeking medical attention is advisable.

My baby is always tilting her head to the right
Female | 3 months old
Your baby could have torticollis. Their head tilts to one side. It may happen because of tight muscles or how they were in the womb. Signs are a tilted head and trouble turning it. A pediatrician may show you special exercises to help. But in very bad cases, they might need a helmet or neck brace.

abnormal functioning of outer hair cells of cochlea for 3 months child
Male | 0
Maybe your child is not able to hear as well because the outer hair cells in the cochlea are affected. Not only this but the child may lack in hearing or have difficulty in responding to the everyday sounds as it was before. This disorder can be due to infections or because of exposure to loud noises. The positive side is that an audiologist will be able to diagnose the issue and provide solutions, such as hearing aids.

It looks like your little one may have food refusal, struggling to take anything but breast milk. This could stem from sensory sensitivity, teething pain, or pickiness. You can try offering soft, varied eats in bite-sized portions throughout the day. If the troubles persist, consult with your pediatrician for tips.

My son had a bath about 3 hours ago and he’s been coughing and was gagging, almost choking. I want to know what i should do
Male | 1
Your little one's coughing fit after bath time may signal some water got into his airways. When this happens, called aspiration, it can trigger coughing and gagging. Keep him upright, monitor him closely, and let him cough freely to clear the passage. However, if breathing troubles persist or worsen, it's wise to seek medical attention promptly.

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.
