Answered on 7th Oct '24
It seems like your child has postnasal drip. This happens when mucus from the nose drips down into the throat, causing throat clearing sounds and a dry cough. It can happen even without a runny nose or fever. You can help by giving your child warm drinks and using a humidifier to ease the congestion. Make sure they drink plenty of water to help thin the mucus as well.

What should be the height,weight and head circumference of 6 years 7 month old girl
Female | 6
Some studies show 6-year-olds usually grow 110-120 cm. high, while their weight runs 18-26 kilograms, and after the head circumference is between 50-53 cm. If the kid is exceptionally small or big then one may suspect that it is because of her nutrition, genes, or a growth issue. You should control her food, she should get enough rest, and also move. If you have doubts, refer her to a pediatrician.

Children develop differently, some take more time than others. Your child's social struggles may indicate delayed brain growth. Delays appear as learning difficulties, atypical behavior, or communication troubles. Multiple factors contribute: genetics, birth issues, early experiences. A specialist can help with tailored therapies and support. Creating an encouraging home and promoting social activities aids progress.

My baby daughter whose age is 2 years and 10 months got some rashes ( without irritation/itching) two weeks back. Pediatrician recommended atarax, a to z syrup and one dose of ivermectin/albendazole syrup. They decreased for two days and again came on second day. Then he proposed predone syrup. They went away from then. After three to four days further we stopped medication as suggested by pediatrician. Now it is 14th day. Today morning again slight rashes appeared. But not like earlier. Should we wait for two more days so that they reduce themselves or consult a pediatrici dermatologist
Female | 3

My wife breastfeeds my son is 1 year and 2 months old can she take a 5 mg clonazepam tablet just one day once is it harmful in the same way???
Female | 20
Clonazepam gets into breast milk, potentially harming babies. Avoiding its use during breastfeeding, mainly without medical guidance, proves crucial. Infants might experience drowsiness, breathing difficulties, and additional side effects due to Clonazepam. Before consuming any medication while nursing, consulting a doctor seems advisable for your wife's well-being.

My 12 year old daughter weighs 145 pounds but you can’t see it
Female | 12
It's important to understand that a person's external appearance doesn't always reflect their actual weight. Often, excess weight can be hidden within the body, which may result from a lack of physical activity or consuming unhealthy foods. This hidden weight can lead to issues like fatigue, breathing difficulties, or joint pain. To address this, it's advisable to eat healthy foods, stay active, and consult a doctor for guidance.

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.

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.

My six month baby is crying all night and she is not pooping please help me out
Female | 31
Babies cry, yet your little one's night-long weeping seems extra troubling. At six months old, no pooping plus fussiness likely signals constipation. Not enough liquids or certain foods might cause this backup. Offering extra water or tenderly rubbing that tiny tummy could provide relief. However, if distress persists, consult 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 son is a year old and he fell during the night and bit the inside of his lower lip. He was bleeding but I managed to stop it, now it is swollen. I am scared, what can I do? I gave him painamol syrup for kids.
Male | 1
Your son has a common lip bite injury. Swelling is normal and should go down in a few days. To help with this, gently press a cold compress on the outside of his lip. Painamol can be effective for the pain. Keep an eye on him to ensure he can still eat and drink comfortably.

Female | 1
The reason for this could be constipation, gas, or an infection. If the baby experiences other symptoms like being moody, not eating well, or being fussy more than usual, you should immediately visit a pediatrician. Additionally, light tummy massages and practicing a bicycle motion with the baby can work as an aid in relieving discomfort.

My baby girl is of 2 months and i want to change the milk i want to leave the formula milk and want to start a cow milk can i do this .is there any side effect of this or not
Female | 0
At 2 months, babies should be given formula milk as their main drink. Cow’s milk lacks important nutrients needed at this stage and can cause issues like indigestion, anemia, or allergies. Stick with formula milk until your baby is about 1 year old. Please talk to your pediatrician for more guidance.

Female | 5 months baby girl
Watery poop with blood may be a symptom of an infection or food intolerance. It is crucial to ensure that your baby gets enough fluids. Let her drink lots of fluids like water or breast milk. The best thing to do for the time being is to stay away from dairy products. If the symptoms persist, or if you come across any other alarming signs, please consult a pediatrician immediately.

Female | 4
Your daughter's low sugar levels are concerning. Kids rarely have low blood sugar without diabetes. Symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, shakiness, or unconsciousness occur. Not eating enough or having another condition causes it. Doctors running tests is wise. Meanwhile, regular meals and snacks stabilize sugar levels.
