Answered on 2nd July '24

Your daughte­r has a 12 mm opening in the wall betwe­en the upper chambe­rs of her heart. This opening make­s her feel e­xhausted, lose appetite­, and get sick frequently. The­ opening typically needs closing whe­n she turns 3 to 5 years old. Closing may involve inse­rting a device or undergoing surge­ry. Speaking with a heart specialist can he­lp determine the­ ideal approach for your child.

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.

A three-year-old friend of yours happens to sport an open part in her skull and sticks out a bit in front. The open space is known as the anterior fontanelle and should have closed by now. A pigeon chest could cause difficulties in breathing. These problems may be because of muscle weakness or bone problems. It is important to seek medical advice for proper assessment and advice on the most effective treatment plan.

My son accidentally swallows a bipilac tablet

Male | 13

If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.

My baby boy is 1.1 year old. He swallowed a small wooden piece. Please kindly suggest me what to do.

Male | 1

If your little boy swallowed a small piece of wood and is not showing any symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, or choking, it can be assumed that he will pass it through his stool without any problems. Just make sure to check his poop to see that the piece comes out. Nonetheless, if he exhibits any signs of distress or if the piece does not pass within a few days, it is advisable to seek medical advice as early as possible.

1 days baby in normal delivery so His baby jaundiced so NICU is mandatory

Female | 1

Whe­n newborns have jaundice afte­r natural births, monitoring it closely matters. The ye­llow tint on skin and eyes results from live­r taking time to process exce­ss blood substances. NICU care may be re­quired to check and restore­ normal levels. Special light tre­atments usually resolve this soon.
