Don't stress if your 20-month-old hasn't pooped for 6 days but seems okay. Constipation is normal for kids. You're right to offer more liquids. Water, prune juice, pears are good options. Whole grains, veggies, beans may also assist. Keep her active. If she still doesn't poop after trying these, it's wise to see a pediatrician.

Hi! I just started wetting the bed two nights in a row. My friend gave me one of his kids Huggies 4t-5t Pull Ups to try. I tried one on and it fit perfect actually since I am small for my age. I woke up wet today. I also have tried out a pacifier that they gave me for better sleep for a few nights.

Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.

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.

An ear infection caused by bacteria or viruses is the most common reason. Colds can sometimes cause this too. To help, give pain medicine and use a warm cloth on the ear. If earaches persist, take your child to see a pediatrician for an examination.

Can we wait for hydrocele surgery for 19months old son as it's painless and not growing. It will be difficult to manage him post surgery as he is non verbal. Also we think it may resolve on its own.
Male | 19months
Hydrocele is when fluid accumulates around the testicle and produce swelling in the scrotum. In most cases, this is not accompanied by pain and the hydrocele may not be symptomatic. Sometimes, hydroceles can resolve on their own without treatment. Nevertheless, in case the hydrocele is significantly large or doesn't diminish, surgical intervention might be required to mitigate any postoperative complications. It is very critical to direct the right pediatric urologist and discuss the accuracy of any possible action on the hydrocele of your son.

Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, especially in children, so providing fluids is necessary. You can give your child water but it's essential to do it in small, frequent sips rather than large amounts at once. You can also give ORS to help prevent dehydration.

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.

Your child's fever is concerning. Fevers usually happen when the body fights infections, like colds or flu. To lower fever and improve comfort, give acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ensure they drink water frequently. Let them rest. Use a light blanket to maintain coolness. However, if the fever doesn't improve or worsen, it's crucial to visit a pediatrician immediately.

6 year old boy, have PFAPA, had his latest periodic fever at 25th december 2023, got glutation to be better and did not have any bad reaction to it. At 3 januari 2024 he got vitamin d, omega3, turmeric and resveratrol, and got an allergic reaction one day later and got antihistamin medicin. Five days after that he got fever, but very low, in normally his temperature is at 37 celcius but now between 37.6-37.9. The fever appears only at afternoon in about 30 minutes and then disappears. It has been going on like this for a week now. Otherwise he is fine and this is not the typical fever he gets at PFAPA. I am wondering if this sounds like something dangerous or if its still a reaction to the supplement he got only once, or if it sounds like an infection? Maybe corona?
Male | 6
It sounds like your 6-year-old son's current symptoms may be a reaction to the supplements or a mild infection. Given his history of PFAPA and the recent allergic reaction, it's important to consult with a pediatrician to determine the exact cause.
