Fevers in kids are typically caused by infections such as colds or the flu. Below are some possible symptoms that may also occur such as chills, headache, and body aches. To help her feel better, make sure she drinks plenty of fluids and gets lots of rest, and you can give her children acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce the fever. However, it is vital to monitor her condition, and if the fever persists or other symptoms appear, it is better to consult a pediatrician.

Mera baccha 2 month ka h jiske 2 din phale foot par vaccin lagi thi . Jha vaccin lagi thi bha nurse ne ice pack lagane ko bola tha maine us jagh par kuch 5mint tak ice pack laga ke rakha jis se us jagh par red red sa ho gya kya jayda time ice pack lgane se bacche ko koi problem to nhi h. Bacche ko us jagh par kaffi dard hota h or bo kaise teekh hoga
Male | 2 month
It's common to see swelling in the place where a baby gets a vaccine. Since ice packs bring down swelling and diminish the pain, they are advantageous. Long-time application of the ice pack might have resulted in redness. It's all right. However, apply it for a few minutes only next time. It usually happens on its own. If your baby is in a lot of pain, you can give them infant pain relief.

Good morning everyone I need advise please. Sihle was playing in the lounge doing mini handstands then she fell on her mouth and I heard screaming. After running to see why she was crying I then saw her baby top tooth came out with the root I then rinsed her mouth with water. I need to know will it grow again once her adult teeth come in cause it came out with the root
Female | 3
When a baby tooth dislodges along with its root, it usually doesn't regrow. However, there's no need to be afraid. In due course, adult teeth will replace the missing one. Meanwhile, monitor for any discomfort or infection signs. Maintain oral hygiene and provide soft edibles. If worried, consulting a dentist ensures all is well.

Dr Rathi sir, do you treat snoring problem in children?
Male | 7
Snoring is the medical term for making a noise while breathing during sleep. This occurs when the child's airwaves are partially or completely blocked due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids. And this might cause the child some hardship in the process of their breath. The removal of the tonsils or adenoids can help them to stop snoring and sleep better. It's a good idea to take your kid to the doctor to find the right way to solve his problem.

Hi sir/maam My son of age 7 years is having breathing problem from childhood. We have tried with several doctors but no use. During sleep time he will breathe with mouth. Esnophil count also 820 is there. Not getting what to do for him
Male | 7
He's breathing through his mouth while sleeping. His eosinophil count is also high. These can point to asthma or allergies. Kids with these conditions often struggle to breathe well. Working closely with a pulmonologist is key. They'll figure out the right meds or strategies to manage allergies.

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.

What could be the reason for a 10 year old to smell armpits and grow breasts
Female | 25
The reason for a 10-year-old to have body odor and start developing breasts is usually the beginning of puberty, which is normal. However, it can sometimes be a sign of early puberty or other hormonal issues. It is best to visit a pediatric endocrinologist for proper evaluation and advice.

Male | 2
I get why you're worried as a parent here. Putting things besides ear drops in the ear isn't good. Watch for signs like pain, redness, irritation, or hearing issues. If your child has any of those, take them to the doctor to get checked and treated right.

What decongestant can i take while breastfeeding
Best is to take nasal decongestant sprays for a short duration as prescribed by your physician. It's locally acting, quick relief and a negligible amount is absorbed into the circulation.

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.

Male | 5
I understand your concern about your son's health. Since he has been suffering from typhoid fever for 15 days and is not improving despite medication, it's advisable to follow your doctor's advice for hospital admission. Hospitalization will ensure he receives proper monitoring, intravenous fluids, and medications to fight the infection effectively. Please continue to follow the guidance of the pediatrician or the specialist managing his case.

hi there, i've only now come to realise ive had threadworms for almost all my life - i am 15 and i've probably had them since i was 3 or 4. i want to know what medicine i should be getting to take care of this and can i buy this myself? also will treating this affect my metabolism since i read that these threadworms use glucose to survive so does that mean that's the only thing keeping me skinny?
Female | 15
It's important to treat threadworms with proper medication. You can use over-the-counter medicines like mebendazole or albendazole, which are effective. However, it's best to visit a pediatrician or a general physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Treating threadworms won't significantly affect your metabolism.

My 10 month old daughter poops after every feed..wether I give her milk or banana or cerelac...she poops after eating or drinking anything...pls suggest something
Female | 10 month old
It's usual for newborns to poop after eating, yet a consistent movement with a loose or watery content could indicate a sensitive stomach. The probable cause of this might be a certain food in its diet that is not serving well to her. Your food diary can point you in the right direction by showing you the link between her reaction to food and food consumption. It will be worthwhile to discuss this with a pediatrician, who will reassure you about its healthiness and help you figure out ways to get rid of it if there is any malaise. Make sure your child gets enough fluids and give her foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice and bananas.

Female | 3
Your girl had seizures caused by fever - febrile convulsions. These simple seizures often last under 15 minutes, don't recur frequently in kids. Family history is common. Fever spikes rapidly increase body temperature, triggering convulsions. Monitor her temperature closely. Follow up with her doctor for proper care.

is there a problem if u take GENALBEN while taking Finallerg syrup for children
Female | 7
Taking different medicines together requires caution to prevent issues. Genalben and Finallerg syrup serve distinct purposes. While Genalben addresses certain health conditions, Finallerg syrup treats allergies. Combining them may lead to side effects such as dizziness, confusion, or upset stomach. To ensure safety, it's crucial to consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medication or modifying existing ones.

Hi there, I just have a quick question that my 13 year old daughter asked me and I wasn’t sure what the answer was
Female | 13
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts suddenly. Eating rapidly, carbonated beverages or excitement may trigger hiccups. Typically, hiccups stop by themselves but try deep breathing or sipping water if persistent. Hiccups are little noises our bodies make, sometimes cute. They usually resolve on their own, but lasting ones need attention. Deep breaths help relax the diaphragm, while water soothes throat spasms causing hiccups.

Giving Colimax after Metrogyl is usually okay. Metrogyl can sometimes upset the stomach, but Colimax helps soothe gas and discomfort. But check with your doctor about the right dose for your kid. And make sure he chugs lots of water.
