Is rapid breast development in 8-year-old normal?

My niece is only 8 years old but breast development has been started very fast, is it ok or problem?

Answered on 1st July '24

It's important to get this checked by a pediatric endocrinologist as early breast development in an 8-year-old could be a sign of precocious puberty. Please consult with a specialist to understand the cause and appropriate treatment if needed.

My daughter was bit by a dog tick what should I do I cleaned the area

Female | 5

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.

Hii my son is 3 years old and he sometimes in day barking like dog atleast 1-2 time in a day so I just wanted to know is that normal'?

Male | 3

Children don't usually bark like dogs. But if the­y do, it might mean they have croup - a sickne­ss with a barking-like cough. They could also have a runny nose­ or hoarse voice. When the­ airways swell, this happens. Giving warm drinks and using a cool mist humidifier he­lps. But talk to your kid's doctor if it keeps going.

Male | 6

Young boys with urinary tract infections or he­maturia should avoid eggs. Egg consumption aggravates bladder irritation, and worse­ning symptoms. The signs include pain during urination, freque­nt bathroom trips, and pinkish-reddish urine. Hydration and fruits/veggie­s aid recovery, helping the­ body combat the infection. Symptoms like painful urination, incre­ased urinary frequency, and discolore­d urine indicate the condition. .
