Your daughter might be struggling with her height. Missing out on food and going to sleep early could be bad for her health. Kids need to eat well for growth. She could be lacking certain nutrients or having a sleeping pattern that affects how much she eats. You should take her to see a pediatrician who will advise you on proper feeding and healthy practices that help in growing up.

I am writing to seek your advice regarding my 3-year-old child. I have noticed small lumps on both sides of her neck, and I am concerned about whether this could indicate a serious health issue.
Female | 3
Sometimes, small lumps in the neck area are caused by lymph nodes. This is a normal response to viruses or allergies. These swellings occur when the immune system is fighting with the body. Normally such cases will be harmless and will be resolved once the body takes care of itself but it is always best to see a pediatrician to get a thorough checkup done. They may offer you a solution and, if it is needed, the right course of treatment.

Which foods are good to eat in chickenpox period
Male | 20
During chickenpox, it's good to eat soft, bland foods like rice, bananas, oatmeal, and soups to avoid irritating mouth sores. Stay hydrated with plenty of fluids like water and coconut water. For personalized advice, consult with a pediatrician or a general physician to ensure proper care during the recovery period.

I have 15 months baby can I use spasan Noel tablet
Female | 22
Giving a 15-month-old baby Spasmonel tablets is dangerous. These pills are not for babies and might bring harm to them. In the case that your baby is having stomach issues or is feeling some kind of discomfort, it's better to use some mild tools such as holding him/her tenderly, giving water, or attempting a warm bath. Get advice from a pediatrician if symptoms do not improve or get worse.

Female | 31
Hi there! You are experiencing anxiety about your daughter's poop, aren't you? It is very much understandable then. If her stools have been the same for eight months and she is not gaining weight, it may indicate an issue. Observe the appearance of her stools for any unusual changes that may indicate diarrhea, constipation, or blood in her stool. Consult a pediatrician for proper treatment.

3yr old child has dry cough with mild fever and hives
Female | 3
Your kid is coughing without phlegm, feeling slightly warm, and getting red rashes. A virus is probably causing this. Kids often get these signs when battling illnesses. Keep them hydrated and let them rest up. You can give acetaminophen to ease the fever. But if things get more severe or drag on past several days, check in with a pediatrician.

My baby is 2.5 month old he is facing poti last 3 days
Male | 2.5 months
Your baby has been having frequent bowel movements over the last 3 days. Infants can go through changes in their stooling patterns from time to time. This may be caused by something they ingested or a minor stomach upset. Ensure that the little one is well-hydrated by giving more breast milk or formula. Should this matter persist or if the infant appears sickly, it would be prudent to seek medical advice from a pediatrician.

Hi my 15 months baby accidentally swallowed one Strepsils, but baby is ok don't have any issues.still i am frightened is it need for hospital check up
Female | Danica
It's understandable to feel concerned after your little one ingests a lozenge. Generally, if your child shows no symptoms like difficulty breathing, nausea, or unusual drowsiness, they are likely okay. However, it's always best to be cautious with young children. Monitor for any unusual behaviors or changes. If you feel uncertain or notice any concerning signs, consulting a pediatrician is a wise step. They can provide specific guidance suited to your child's needs.

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.

my son has a tongue tie, pls suggest me what to do, he is 1 month 4 days old
Male | 1month
When a muscle under the tongue is too tight, it's called a tongue tie. Babies may struggle to nurse, sticking their tongue out, or even speaking later. A fast procedure named a frenotomy releases that tight tissue. Quick and painless, it fixes the issue. Reach out to a pediatrician. They'll guide you on if it's needed.

My toddler is not gaining weight much she is 20months weight 8.2
Female | 2
At the age of 20 months, the weight of 8.2 may be lower than the one anticipated. Among the symptoms of sluggish weight gain could be, for instance, having an unenthusiastic appetite, being overly picky during feedings, or exhibiting low energy levels. The causes might be allergies to food, digestive problems, or developers of an unbalanced diet like picky eaters. Create mealtimes as amusing as can be, you can also consult a pediatrician who will give the best recommendations and evaluations.

Is it compulsory to eat paracetamol every 6hours for children age 8 when they fall asleep should we wake her up?
Female | 8
Your kid is dealing with fever and pain. They're on paracetamol every six hours. Follow the dosage as instructed. Too much medication can harm. Should you wake your sleeping child for medicine? If they're resting well, let them sleep. Sleep aids healing. No need to disturb good rest. Keep giving meds per doctor's orders.

Early puberty in 8.5year daughter,pubic hair under arm
Female | 8
Experiencing early puberty can be tricky for an 8.5-year-old girl. It could stem from genetics, weight issues, or medical problems. Watch for signs like pubic or underarm hair growth, body odor changes, or sudden height spurts. These indicate puberty onset. Talk to your pediatrician to understand what's happening inside her body. They'll run tests to identify the cause and recommend the best care approach.

We are giving medicine from last four 4 years from qualified doctors of pakistan dr noreen akhtar but the child swelled when she leaves the medicine for a month.
Female | 10
Swelling after stopping medicine could show edema, a condition where fluid builds up. This happens because the body adjusts to medicine, then responds when it's removed suddenly. Many reasons like heart or kidney problems can cause edema. Doctors slowly reduce doses to avoid reactions like swelling. It's crucial to talk with your doctor about this concern.

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.
