Has My 12-Year-Old Daughter Stopped Growing?
My daughter is 12.5 years old and 165 cm tall. She already has got her period last year when she was 11. Father is 5 feet 8 inch and mother s height is 5 feet 2 inches. I'm worried if she has stopped growing. Can she get few more inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Girls her age, 12.5, often keep on growing for some more years. Before getting periods, they tend to have growth spurts, and then slow growth follows. Since your girl had her period at 11, there might be more growing left. Things like her genes, eating well, and being healthy affect growth. Keep encouraging healthy foods, enough sleep, and exercise for her. If worried, chatting with her doctor could help.

Measels for my 14 years boy with rashes .....could it be slow down
Male | 14
Measles is a virus causing fever, coughing, runny nose, and red rash. It spreads easily. You need rest, fluids, and isolation. The measles vaccine prevents this illness. However, measles often resolve without treatment. Still, call your doctor if concerned.

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.

the patient in hospital is a young girl and doctor wants to take her C.T. scan but she is crying too much and it difficult to control her in that condition what would doctor do
Female | 6
Crying is normal when frightened. To make the girl calmer, speak softly, give comfort, and explain the scans like taking a picture inside her body. Ask her parent to hold her hand or be close while it happens. This might help her feel safer. Giving her a favorite toy or music could also distract her from the scan's happenings.

Hello , My baby is 2 and a half month now. Our pediatrician recommended me to give formula milk for 2 days saying that due to breastfeeding my baby is getting gas. Should I give him formula. From another BEMS doctor always suggest me only breast milk should be given to baby.
Male | 2.5 months
Gas is a common occurrence in babies and can make them quite irritable. When eating, they may swallow air or break down certain nutrients found in breast milk, causing it. To release trapped air more frequently during feeding, try burping your baby often. Additionally, tender tummy massages could also provide relief from gas. If you can, stick with breastfeeding since it’s the best for your baby’s well-being; however, you might want to consider speaking to a pediatrician for further advice.

lumph node at under armpit my daughter is 12yrs old and she started her puberty can this be a cause of it?
Female | 12
As girls approach adolescence, bodily changes happen - it's normal. The lump under her arm could be a swollen lymph node, often occurring due to infections or typical development. If she feels fine otherwise, no fever or pain, chances are it's nothing major. However, keep monitoring it closely. Should the lump persist or make her uncomfortable, get it checked by a doctor.

Hello please doctor my baby is sick blood is coming from her nose
Female | 0
Dried-out or irritated blood vessels in noses cause bleeds. Reasons include nose-picking, dry air, or hard sneezes. To stop it, make the baby sit up straight. Use your fingers to gently squeeze the soft part of their nose around ten minutes. Put a cool, damp cloth on their forehead too. If nosebleeds occur a lot, check with a pediatrician. There could be an underlying issue making them happen frequently.

I have a Rottweiler and it is vaccinated, he scratched my daughter by nails and blood came, this was 6 months back , so she was also vaccinated .....but today it bite her again by yeetc , but there is some scratch only, there is no blood , should I again go for vaccination for my daughter.
Female | 4
Your daughter and your pet have been vaccinated so the chances of a serious infection are low. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or pain in the scratch. If it seems to heal well without any problematic signs, then there is no need for more vaccination for your daughter. Make sure that the wound is kept clean and observe any changes.

my child is having crt 12.95 mg/L and pus cells in urinal microscopic exam 12-14/,hpf
Female | 9
A urinary tract infection may be causing your child's symptoms, based on the test results. Pain or discomfort during urination, frequent urges to pee, and feeling unwell are typical signs. The presence of pus cells and elevated CRT levels indicate an infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult a pediatrician for antibiotic treatment, as that's usually recommended. Though short symptoms prevail, antibiotics will likely resolve the issue.

My baby 2.10 Years old, but he did not talk. He is a pre-mature baby. He is very phone addicted. He is hearing any sound, any time he suffering cold, cough and fever.
Male | 2.10
Premature babies tend to have some delay in growth and development but will catch up later . Child needs detailed development assessment . There are specific parent questionnaire on development which parent can observe and answer . Child also needs formal hearing and speech assessment.
Extended or long screen times like cell phones / TV are best avoided .. as they have an impact on child s development.

My 2 year old daughter tested positive 6 days ago for covid as of today she is negative but she still have a lot of mucus in her nose and still have a cough is that normal should I be concerned still is her first time having covid
Female | 2
Lingering symptoms happen after recovery. Her body clears infection leftovers. Keep hydrating her. Use a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relief. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issues; seek help if worsening. Otherwise, she'll recover gradually.

My baby not eat anything.
Female | 16 months
Babies sometimes have trouble eating. This could be due to teething or illness, or just feeling uninterested. Offer healthy foods in small portions often. Be patient, but don't pressure eating. If the issue persists, consult your pediatrician. They can guide your baby's specific situation.

My question is about my 40 days old baby boy he fart so many times a day and not passing stool since 3 days
Male | 0
Babies let out gas frequently - it's quite normal, as their digestive system matures. However, if your little one hasn't passed stool in three days, constipation might trouble them. Inadequate milk intake or switching formulas could trigger this issue. Try offering more breastmilk or formula, gently rubbing the tummy area. Should the concern persist, seek guidance from a pediatrician for personalized recommendations.

After breast feeding many times vomits and cold cuff
Female | One month
Many babies puke after lots of feeds if they catch a cold bug. It can bring a runny nose, coughing, sneezy fits. Gulping down too much milk may spark the upchucks. Breaking feeds into smaller gulps, keeping baby upright post-feed may curb puking. If symptoms stick around or worsen, check with your pediatrician.

4 year old took 15ml of zarbees cough medicine. Is there a chance of overdose
Male | 4
Medicine can hurt if not taken properly. Taking too much Zarbee's cough syrup is bad for little kids. If a 4-year-old drinks 15ml, it's more than safe. Overdosing causes sick feeling, throwing up, feeling sleepy, or breathing trouble. Call poison control or visit hospital quickly for help.

My Daughter has a fever sickness diarrhea and cough
Female | 2
Your daughter might have an infection. She has a fever, is sick, has diarrhea, and is coughing. These symptoms show an infection like the flu or a stomach bug. Viruses, bacteria, or germs cause such infections. Make sure she drinks lots of fluids. She needs lots of rest too. Feed her bland foods. If symptoms worsen or last long, take her to a pediatrician.

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 child vomited 3 times last night, today he refuses food, he is indisposed, he doesn't want anything
Male | 3
Your kid seems to be not epic at all. If a child throws up multiple times and then says he does not want to eat, it could be possible that his tummy is upset. This can be many things such as a tummy bug or food intolerance. The best thing you can do is keep him hydrated with small sips of water and let his tummy rest by avoiding food for a bit. You should take him to a pediatrician.
