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 son is now 4 yrs . problem is that speech delay with Autism. Occupation n speech therapy r continue. How can I better success 4 my son.
Male | 4
A speech delay in autism means a child may have problems talking or expressing their thoughts. This can be a source of frustration for them. Continue with speech therapy as it can develop communication skills. On the other hand, visual aids and repeating routines can help her become clear about him.

Hello my baby is 7 months old n has a stuffy nose also has gur gur sound while breathing through nose. What could be the problem? What is the solution?
Male | 7 months
Your baby probably has a common cold or a viral infection. The stuffy nose and sound while breathing could be due to congestion. Make sure to hydrate your baby sufficiently and then use a bulb syringe to suck out the mucus. Alternatively, you may run a humidifier to help loosen congestion. Be vigilant regarding your baby's temperature, and if you observe any symptoms of a fever or difficulty breathing, consult a pediatrician.

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.

My son 3.7 yars old from last 1 days i notice hi was take long breath after 1 and 2 minutes. And he have some autism problem from last 2yrs but now no any autism problem seen after giving proper guide and attension So i have need to know is this normal in child
Male | 3.7 years
You are doing well by noticing that your son is changing. The need for breathing exercises comes from very different things. Children may experience just like in the case when they are thrilled, angry, or sick. Long breaths don't usually come from autism, so it's a positive thing his symptoms have improved. Try it, but if you're still worried, go to a pediatrician first so they can rule out anything serious.

My 1 year old daughter is always rubbing her ears and putting her fingers in her ears.
Female | 1
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.

Hi. My son has dry cough. In morning I gave him dry syrup by mistake which was made 1 month ago. And its expiry date is 2024.is there any side effects of this?
Male | 6
If your child swallowed dry syrup prepared last month, yet unexpired, it's typically harmless. Expired medications might gradually diminish efficacy but rarely induce illness. Unless your son exhibits nausea, vomiting, rash, or other abnormal symptoms, he'll likely remain unaffected. Monitor him and consult a pediatrician promptly if any concerning signs arise.

Male | 15
Weight fluctuations during adolescence are normal. Gaining from 53 kgs at 12 to 71 kgs at 15 is expected. As teens grow taller and their bodies change, weight gain comes naturally. Maintain a balanced diet and stay active. If worried, talk to a pediatrician for reassurance.

Baby very unsettled not acting as he usually does / a lot of congestion in nose, crying more than usual and not passing as much poo as usual today
Male | 19 days
Your infant is suffering from either a cold or a slight infection. The stuffiness in their nose may obstruct breathing, thus causing more frequent crying spells. Such a condition can also bring about restlessness. Babies tend to have fewer bowel movements when they have a cold. Ensure that they take enough fluids and get additional sleep. You can relieve the congestion by using a nasal saline spray. However, should these signs continue or worsen, it is imperative to consult a pediatrician.

Since 15 days my child i having coughing ... She always complaints to have pain behind the head ..can i knw why?
Female | 3
A cough lasting 15 days poses challenges. Coughing strains the head and neck muscles, potentially causing headaches behind the head. Ensure your child stays hydrated; proper rest is vital. Consult a pediatrician to rule out serious conditions. Monitor your child closely; seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen.

My son is 3 years 7 months old. He is having ADHD and delayed speech problem. Last month he suffered from hand foot mouth infection but he recovered in few days. After that infection, his nature has changed a lot. He cries without any reason. When he gets up in the morning he cry for almost an hour. In day time also he starts crying at any time and we are unable to understand any reason for that. We try to do all the things which he likes but he only stops crying after 1 to 2 hours. The same problem happens at night also. On some days he wake up at 3-4 am and starts crying and after an hour he stops and then go for sleep. As he does not speak anything we do not understand what problem he is facing. He is also undergoing therapies for ADHD and speech delay. But at therapy centre also he keeps on crying. He was moody earlier also but after HFM infection this crying problem has increased a lot. Pls guide.
Male | 3
It sounds like your son's recent changes in behavior might be linked to his recovery from the hand, foot, and mouth infection. Such infections can sometimes cause lingering discomfort or changes in behavior. Given his ADHD and speech delay, it is crucial to consult with his pediatrician and a child psychiatrist to evaluate any underlying issues. They can provide a thorough assessment and tailor interventions to help manage his symptoms.

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.

Seizures in babies manifest through sudden jerks, fixed gazes, or labored breathing. They stem from varied factors like fevers, brain trauma, or genetic conditions. Seeking a pediatric neurologist's expertise is crucial to confirm seizure diagnosis via tests. They'll prescribe suitable treatments, potentially including anti-seizure medications, to manage the episodes effectively.

My daughter turned 8y a day back. She was a low birth weight kid. Currently she is 16kg, 110.4cm. No endocrine or any health issues. Very active n fine. Pls suggest some supplement to increase height and weight.
Female | 8
Here are some tips for helping your child grow taller and gain weight. Make sure they get different nutrients by eating many kinds of food – not just junk! Specifically, things with protein like milk or eggs; also foods high in calcium (like broccoli) and vitamin D (like salmon). Get them moving often with things other than walking too- muscle strength is important! Enough sleep each night will help their bodies grow well too.

Your daughter may get a fever due to her cold and cough. The body often raises its temperature to fight infections. Make sure she drinks plenty of fluids, gets enough rest, and gives her fever medicine like acetaminophen if needed. If the fever persists or other symptoms appear, it's best to consult a pediatrician.

Your baby boy likely has a pancreatic duct stricture. In simple terms, this means part of his pancreas tube is narrowed. Symptoms like tummy pain or eating troubles can occur. It may be from a birth issue or past inflammation causing the narrowing. Surgery might be needed if it causes major problems. Your best approach is to discuss it with your pediatrician to decide the proper plan.

Rashes often appear on the baby's bottoms. This is common and not serious. Diapers cause wetness, and irritating skin. To relieve rash, change diapers regularly. Apply gentle baby cream. Let the skin air out sometimes. However, if the rash worsens or persists, consult a pediatrician.

Male | 1.5
If you're concerned about your 1.5 year old son's genital development, it's essential to consult a pediatrician or pediatric urologist for an evaluation. Small or retracting testicles may be normal in some cases, but it's crucial to rule out conditions like undescended testicles or hernias.
