Child Vaccination: Swelling Relief and Proper Administration
My child got vaccinated and got swelling on injected area ..what should i understand by this that vaccination is done properly or not and how should i treat my child to get rid of pain and swelling.
General Physician
Answered on 24th June '24
Swelling, and pain at the injection area - this is normal for kids after vaccination. The body responds by building immunity. Cold packs soothe discomfort; acetaminophen helps too. Persistent swelling warrants checking with the doctor. But generally, these reactions indicate the vaccine is working as intended.

My one month daughter struggles with constipation and reflux and but constantly groans and moans all the time. Even when she's sleeping she constantly brings her feet up and moves around. She also cries a lot like she's in a lot of discomfort. Her moaning is persistent and if she goes quiet she squeaks really loud like she's struggling to breath.

New born baby 12 days old girl having constipation and vomiting after drinking breastfeeding
Female | 12 days old
A baby can sometimes have difficulty with bowel movements and regurgitating milk. Your 12-day-old girl is facing constipation and vomiting post breastfeeding. Constipation leads to strained, infrequent pooping. Vomiting is when ingested milk comes back up. Causes include air gulping while feeding, a sensitive tummy. To aid your baby, try burping more during feeds. Keep her upright after nursing sessions. Gently massage her belly too. However, persisting or worsening symptoms need a pediatrician consultation.

Since 15 days my child i having coughing ... She always complaints to have pain behind the head ..can i knw why?
Female | 3
A cough lasting 15 days poses challenges. Coughing strains the head and neck muscles, potentially causing headaches behind the head. Ensure your child stays hydrated; proper rest is vital. Consult a pediatrician to rule out serious conditions. Monitor your child closely; seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen.

7 year old daughter had a fall on Saturday and cut the back of her head. She needed staples which will be removed tomorrow. Doctor said to monitor for any signs of head trauma within first 24 hours. She did not vomit, pass out, or have any pupil dilation when it occured. Doctor didn’t even check during visit. No issues within the 24 hour period and nothing since. Questions is, would she be able to participate in her soccer game with her team as goalie?
Female | 7
It's great to hear your daughter has shown no signs of head trauma after her fall. However, given that she had staples placed in her head, it’s best to avoid any physical activities like soccer until the wound has fully healed and the staples are removed. Please consult with her pediatrician or the doctor who treated her to get personalized advice on when she can safely return to sports.

Male | 7
It seems he may have a serious condition causing the fever and weakness. The glucose given by the doctor was likely to provide energy. Not eating for 7 days is quite concerning. It's important to take him back to the doctor for further evaluation and treatment. Meanwhile, ensure he stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest.

I gave cremazen plus to 3years baby as 5ml unexpected as the gelusil mps was same.any problem for this
Male | 3
Giving Cremazen Plus, meant for adults, to a three-year-old child instead of Gelusil MPS could lead to issues. Side effects like feeling sleepy, puzzled, and an upset tummy are possible. The mix-up arose because these medicines treat varying stomach problems. To correct this, ensure the proper medication is given next time.

My 2 month baby child she is very crying ?? countinue only night' time How to treatment
Female | 0
Babies cry frequently, notably at nighttime. Perhaps your little one suffers from colic. While its precise root remains unidentified, colic is widespread and typically resolves independently by 4 months. To comfort your infant, consider gentle rocking motions, calming white noise, or a warm pre-bedtime bath.

Hello is 80cm waist circumference healthy for a 11 year old boy who is 155cm tall and weighs 51kg
Male | 11
For an 11-year-old boy around 155cm tall, weighing 51kg, an 80cm waist size could be a bit large. A bigger waistline at a young age might cause future health concerns like diabetes or heart issues. To maintain good health, balanced meals are crucial. Additionally, engaging in enjoyable exercises and discussing waist size monitoring with an adult could be beneficial.

Your daughter may be experiencing developmental and sensory challenges that could benefit from evaluation by a pediatric neurologist or pediatric ophthalmologist. These specialists can assess her vision, behavior, and developmental milestones to provide a clear understanding of her needs.

My daughter is 9 months old and she fell face first from a child’s lap onto the grass. I am wondering if I should be concerned
Female | 9 month
When a baby falls from so low a point, they may only get a bump or a little bruise. Observe your daughter for one or two days if she behaves strangely or shows signs of being in pain. If she looks all right and acts normal then she is probably fine. However, in case you notice any worrying things like vomiting a lot, sleeping too much, or becoming very irritable please take the child to a pediatrician for a check-up as soon as possible

My 4 year old has had a stomach flu since Saturday, she was vomiting up until Monday night and has had barely appetite, she is very thirsty even though she stopped vomiting and has been drinking a lot of pedialite and water, no vomiting or diarrhea since Monday night… why is she still so thirsty?????
Female | 4
When someone has stomach flu, their body loses lots of fluids. Even though vomiting ceased, her body might still be trying to regain lost fluids, causing increased thirst. Continue providing Pedialyte and water to help her rehydrate. If she doesn't improve or struggles keeping fluids down, contact a pediatrician.

Seizures in babies manifest through sudden jerks, fixed gazes, or labored breathing. They stem from varied factors like fevers, brain trauma, or genetic conditions. Seeking a pediatric neurologist's expertise is crucial to confirm seizure diagnosis via tests. They'll prescribe suitable treatments, potentially including anti-seizure medications, to manage the episodes effectively.

Hlo doctor my self hameeda my baby is 21days old can i put aptamil formula milk for my baby because i have less production of milk in my breast
Male | 21day old
When the supply of breast milk is limited, you can slowly switch your baby to formula milk that has nutrients like Aptamil for your baby. Excess stress and in some cases, improper breastfeeding are the reasons why some moms have low milk production. Be calm about it. You will be able to feed your baby the needed nutrients via formula milk. Be sure to go through the instructions on the formula package.

I have a son who is 4 yrs he snore so loudly at night what could be the issue
Male | 4
It is quite common for kids to snore, however, when it is loud, it may be a hint of a health problem. Snoring mainly occurs when the airflow to your son's lungs is obstructed while he is asleep. This condition can occur because of enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, or simply anatomy. Sometimes it may lead to poor quality of sleep. To assist, consider making his room cooler, keeping his bed clean, and if you're worried, talking to a pediatrician.
