Dog ticks are a nuisance. Watch for the signs you see: blood, itchiness, and a bump on the skin. Ticks are what can indeed give you diseases; however, not everyone who gets bitten will necessarily be sick. The best outcome you had was to wipe the area with a cloth. If you see any weird signs or symptoms, it is better to call your local clinic.

Peeling nails in a 3.5-year-old girl could be due to nutritional deficiencies (especially in vitamins like biotin), habits like nail-biting, or even skin conditions such as eczema. It’s best to consult a pediatrician or dermatologist, who can assess her condition and recommend the appropriate care.

7 years kids having fever from last 8 hours, now half body is hot amd half ia chilled,
Female | 7
A fever means the body battles an infection. Kids' bodies can feel hot, then cold as it regulates temperature. Give your child fluids, rest, and fever-reducing medicine like acetaminophen if required. If the fever persists over two days or other worrying symptoms arise, consult a pediatrician promptly.

Is fresh milk suitable for a 2 month old baby? what are the consequences?
Female | 0
Regular fresh milk isn't ideal for 2-month-old infants. It can lead to stomach issues like cramps, diarrhea, and discomfort. Babies' digestive systems can't process it well at that age. Stick to formula or breastmilk until your little one is older. If you notice fussiness, frequent spit-up, or unusual bowel movements after giving fresh milk, stop immediately. Consult your pediatrician for guidance on introducing new foods safely.

Female | 1
A 1-year-old might have watery stools for various reasons. It's unlikely related to birth control. It could be a stomach bug or something they ate. Watch for signs of dehydration: dry mouth, no tears when crying. Give your baby more fluids. If watery stools persist, consult your child's pediatrician.

Female | 2
Rashes on an infant's body may result from various factors - allergies, infections, or skin irritants. The itching and crying could indicate discomfort. To provide relief, use gentle products without fragrances, keeping the skin clean and dry. However, if these measures prove ineffective, it's advisable to seek medical advice for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Body Weakness fro my child
Female | 11
Kids may feel weak sometimes. Not getting proper nutrition from healthy food choices is one cause. Inadequate sleep or high-stress levels also contribute to weakness. Ensuring they follow a balanced diet, get sufficient rest, and manage stress helps increase energy levels. However, if weakness persists despite these measures, seeking medical advice from a pediatrician becomes necessary to identify and address any underlying issues.

My 8 years old daughter have cough during playing time(running, climbing stairs, climatic changes). when she was in 3 months & 5 Months old,she admitted in hospital due to cough (lung infection)..... now after vomit her cough is going to better.Is Nimococal vaccination is suggested for her at this age?
Female | 8
Your daughter seems to be struggling with a persistent cough, especially during playtime and with sudden weather changes. Considering her history of lung infections, the pneumococcal vaccination might be a good option. This vaccine helps protect against bacteria that can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia, supporting her lung health. Please check with her pediatrician to see if she is eligible for the vaccine.

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.

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.

Premature babies are often slow in gaining weight. Make sure that he is eating well and that he is getting enough nutrients. You can speak with a pediatrician to discuss the possibility of a change in his feeding schedule or the use of specialized formulas to enable him to gain weight continuously.

My baby does not eat properly and is always crying. His weight is -10 kg. LFT Test is done. SGOT -49.5. u/l,SGPT-24.6 u/l, Serum Alkaline Phosphate -684.6 u/l.
Male | 1
The weight reading as negative may be a sign of a measurement error. The outcome of the LFT test suggests that some of the liver enzyme concentrations are not within the normal range, which might be due to several reasons like infections or liver problems. You should consult a pediatrician.

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.

When the body fights an infection, fever can occur. Signs that may point to a serious infection are vomiting and high fever. The injection given at the hospital may require time before its effects are seen. It's important to keep her hydrated and try cooling methods. If the fever persists, further doctor evaluation may be needed..

My baby is not drinking enough milk or eating solids since few days. What can be done to increase his appetite?
Male | 6 months
It is typical for infant feeding patterns to fluctuate. However sustained low intake demands vigilance. Teething discomfort might reduce appetite. Try frequent smaller meals and different foods. Sufficient rest also aids appetite. If low intake persists, consult your pediatrician. Babies sometimes struggle with milk or solids due to temporary issues. Yet steady poor intake indicates potential concerns requiring medical evaluation.
