Why isn't my 4-year-old speaking properly?
My daughter is 4 years old and still she is not talking properly. She sometimes talks but nobody understands what she speaks. It feels as if she is talking in some other language. Sometimes she speaks to herself. She repeats whatever she watches in the mobile or TV. What do you think could be the problem? I don’t think she has hearing problem then why is she not growing like regular kids. What do you think her condition is? Whom should I consult?

Your daughter may have a speech delay. There could be different reasons for this. Sometimes the mouth muscles are still too weak. In other cases, the problem may be with hearing or some other condition underneath. It’s good to see a speech therapist. They’ll be able to evaluate her and offer suitable treatment that will help improve her speaking abilities.

Female | 3
It's common for children to have movable lumps due to swollen lymph nodes, which often occur with infections. However, since the lump has persisted for two months, it's important to consult a pediatrician. They can properly assess and provide the best advice for your child's condition.

My 6 years old son is coughing very badly and unable to sleep. From past 4 to 5 days
Male | 6
This could be a common cold or pesky allergies causing the prolonged coughing fit. Hydration and rest are key - make sure he's drinking plenty of water and getting ample sleep. Consider a humidifier for his room; it might just soothe that bothersome cough. However, if the coughing persists or worsens, don't hesitate to consult your pediatrician.

Can we take cetrizine and amydramine at same time My daughter had those both on time . She is 6years old
Female | 6
Cetrizine treats allergies. Amitriptyline helps with conditions like depression. Kids shouldn't take them together though. The mix could make them feel sleepy, confused, and have a fast heartbeat. Talk to your doctor instead of mixing these medicines for your daughter.

I have a 1 year old with RSV and her oxygen level is siting at 91% should I be concerned. It dropped to 87% for a split second then shot back up to 91%. She is breathing 26 breathes per minute.
Female | 1
A 91% oxygen level is slightly low for a one-year-old with RSV. This virus makes breathing harder for babies. The dropping oxygen shows her lungs are struggling. Watch her closely to ensure she's comfortable. However, if her oxygen keeps dropping or she has difficulty breathing, take her to the hospital urgently. Ensure she drinks lots of fluids and rests.

Son 13 year old vomiting pain on stomach and headache
Male | 13
The signs of a stomach bug can start with vomiting. Stomach pain and headache are also two other possible symptoms. Often, these bugs are self-limiting and go by themselves, for the time being, ensure he drinks as much as possible to avoid dehydration, and feed him suitable light foods. Should he not feel any better in several days, it's the best option to see a gastroenterologist.

6 days old baby girl having loose motion 3 times a day can we give sporlac banana flavour powder
Female | 6 days e
Sometimes, babies pass loose stools often. Don't worry, this happens. If your newborn girl has diarrhea thrice daily, an infection or diet change could cause it. Sporlac banana powder may help. It restores good tummy bacteria, and firms up motions. Keep her hydrated - offer breast milk or small water sips frequently. Don't give any other medicine without a doctor's advice. But if diarrhea worsens or continues, see a pediatrician.

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.

Hi doctor my one year baby boy passed hard stools today 5 times what would be the reason. But he is active and playing but he has a running nose and cold... Please advise as I am worried.
Female | 30
Your baby's tummy issues with the cold aren't surprising. Colds produce mucus, and hardening stools are normal. Keep them hydrated: offer liquids, pears, and prunes to ease bowels. Monitor symptoms closely; if concerned, consult experts promptly.

For a 5-year-old with prickly heat, keep the affected area cool and dry, dress in loose-fitting, breathable clothing, and apply calamine lotion or a mild hydrocortisone cream to soothe irritation. Avoid excessive sweating and heat exposure. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.

If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse
Male | 3
Catching a cold is likely if exposed to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruses - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever sometimes. To help your son recover, ensure he rests well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes over-the-counter medicine if required.
