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.

Your 7-year-old has an inguinal hernia. Part of their intestine pushes through a weak spot near their groin. It may appear as a small bulge. Sometimes, it causes pain or discomfort. Surgery is typically recommended to repair it. This quick procedure helps avoid potential complications. Be sure to discuss the optimal care option with a surgeon for your child.

Hi my baby is 15 months old , having cold and cough from few days..but from yesterday he is breathing very very fast..night time it was little ok...now early morning again started...i just want ro know is it normal or aome issues..plz suggeat me doctor plz.
Male | 1
Fast breathing may be due to several reasons, such as nasal congestion or a respiratory infection. The first step in keeping your little one safe is to watch for their discomfort and take your child to a doctor. Satisfy them with enough water and let a vaporizer help them breathe better. However, if rapid breathing persists or gets worse, it is essential to consult a pediatrician.

Hi, Hi, my son received an antibiotic today, Amoxicillin 250/5ml, no dosage was given. The son is 12 years old and weighs 60 kg.
Mężczyzna | 12
At 12 years old, 60 kg, the typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divided into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the precise dosage based on his condition. Ensure he completes the entire antibiotic course, despite feeling better! Inform your doctor if side effects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

Hello doc, can you give an advice, my 5yrs old daughter is having dry cough and high fevervin 2days
Female | 5
A persistent cough without phlegm and elevated body temperature could indicate a viral infection, like influenza or a common cold virus. Ensure that she consumes ample fluids and gets sufficient rest. If necessary, administer children's fever-reducing medication, carefully following age-appropriate dosage instructions. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical evaluation.

My 8 years old daughter have cough during playing time(running, climbing stairs, climatic changes). when she was in 3 months & 5 Months old,she admitted in hospital due to cough (lung infection)..... now after vomit her cough is going to better.Is Nimococal vaccination is suggested for her at this age?
Female | 8
Your daughter seems to be struggling with a persistent cough, especially during playtime and with sudden weather changes. Considering her history of lung infections, the pneumococcal vaccination might be a good option. This vaccine helps protect against bacteria that can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia, supporting her lung health. Please check with her pediatrician to see if she is eligible for the vaccine.

My daughter is feeling frequent urination at day time.but when she goes to toilet a very little amount passes away or sometime no urine .bt she feels it.no pain during urination and no fever .at night when she sleeps well.no bed wetting.
Female | 5.7 years
It's understandable to be concerned about your daughter's symptoms. Frequent urges to urinate, with minimal output, can indicate several factors, such as dehydration, anxiety, or urinary tract issues. The absence of pain is a positive sign, and the good sleep at night is reassuring. Encourage her to drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration. Keeping a diary of her fluid intake and bathroom habits may also help identify patterns. However, it's important to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions and get tailored advice.

It's important to consult a pediatrician or a pulmonologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They can assess his condition and recommend appropriate medications or therapies to help him breathe more comfortably.

My baby boy is 5 months old. His birth weight was 2.7 and now he is 5.6kg. I am worried whether the weight gain is proper. When to start solids for him. I mean what is the indication?? What to give him initially while starting solids like just ragi ceri or start with fruits na vegetable puree?? Initially how many times to give solids?
Male | Boy of harshini
At 5 months, a weight of 5.6 kg is generally acceptable, but each child is unique. Solid foods can be introduced around 6 months, showing readiness through signs like good head control and interest in food. Initially, focus on single-grain cereals or pureed fruits and vegetables. Start with small amounts, once a day, gradually increasing as he adapts. Remember, every baby's journey is different, so consulting your pediatrician can offer tailored advice and reassurance for your concerns.

My daughter was bit by a dog tick what should I do I cleaned the area
Female | 5
Dog ticks are a nuisance. Watch for the signs you see: blood, itchiness, and a bump on the skin. Ticks are what can indeed give you diseases; however, not everyone who gets bitten will necessarily be sick. The best outcome you had was to wipe the area with a cloth. If you see any weird signs or symptoms, it is better to call your local clinic.

Hello. Please can my one year old take Motrin? If yes what ml should I give her?
Female | 1
Children around one year old may need Motrin if fever or pain sets in. This medicine suits infants well when given correctly. The dosage depends on your kid's weight. For one-year-olds, it's usually 5 ml. Giving the right amount ensures safety, avoiding unwanted effects. Don't forget - consult your pediatrician before administering any medication to the kids.

My daughter is burning up off and on but has had a cold and cough
Female | 1
Your daughter may get a fever due to her cold and cough. The body often raises its temperature to fight infections. Make sure she drinks plenty of fluids, gets enough rest, and gives her fever medicine like acetaminophen if needed. If the fever persists or other symptoms appear, it's best to consult a pediatrician.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.
Male | 11
It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

My husband is 24 years old he having fever for five days.cold and throat pain ,diriyea to Now his nose is bleeding why is that he had 102 fever yesterday
Male | 24
It appears that your spouse has antibodies that might be the root cause of a virus like a cold or influenza. Fever, uncomfortable throat, and gastrointestinal distress may all be present simultaneously. Nosebleeds can be caused by nasal congestion or irritation. Besides, give him plenty of fluids and use a humidifier to make him feel better. If the symptoms don’t disappear after a week, they even worsen, or he gets other problems, please make an appointment for him to see a doctor and have a full checkup with subsequent treatment.

My baby boy birth weight is 2.7kg. Now he is 6 months old and weighs 6kg. I have started solids ragi ceri afternoon and rest of the time breastfeed. Pee count is good. Sometimes he poops every alternative day or Sometimes more than a week. I won't force feed him, as soon as he rejects I stop. My question is his weight is normal?? What should i do to make him healthy. Pls help me doctor
Male | 6 months
Your baby’s weight gain is an important indicator of his growth, and at 6 kg, he is within a healthy range for his age. It’s common for infants to go a few days without bowel movements, especially when transitioning to solids. Ensure he stays hydrated and receives a varied diet beyond ragi, introducing fruits and vegetables gradually. Monitor his overall mood and energy levels. If you have concerns about his growth or bowel habits, consulting your pediatrician can provide personalized guidance and reassurance.

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.
