General Physician
Answered on 2nd July '24
Children's leg pain can originate from various causes. Growing pains may occur as muscles and bones expand during development. Physical exertion or minor impacts could also contribute. Gentle massage or a warm bath may alleviate his symptoms. However, if the pain persists or intensifies, consulting your pediatrician would be advisable to ensure no underlying issues.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.
Male | 11
It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

My 4 year baby is urinating pink colour urine since morning Although there is no pain or itching. Is it due to food she had consumed last night pink colour fringes, pink strawberry pastry or is it something concerning?
Female | 4
The kind of pink pee that a child could have could be caused by things like eating too many pink strawberries or consuming food with dyes. Nonetheless, if your baby is not suffering from pain or itching, it is most likely nothing serious. Suggest your child drink more water to eliminate any objects that may be coloring their urine. If the pink doesn't go away, or if any other symptoms come up, it's wise to consult a pediatrician.

Regarding normal range of sugar level for children 12 yrs old boy
Male | 12
For a 12-year-old boy, the normal fasting blood sugar level is typically between 70 and 100 mg/dL. After eating, it should be less than 140 mg/dL. It's always best to consult a pediatric endocrinologist for personalized advice and accurate diagnosis.

I am 8 years old male, and my penis is not opened, is it necessery to open it, will it cause any problem earlier.
Male | 8
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be easily retracted. This is common in young boys. Often, it resolves naturally as you grow. It's usually not a concern unless it causes pain, inflammation, or difficulty with hygiene. Maintaining cleanliness is important. I recommend talking to a pediatrician for personalized guidance. They can assess if any treatment is necessary and offer the best options.

My baby has running nose Also she has a cough.. And she is sneezing
Female | 5 month
These symptoms can also mean a common cold is happening. Colds are mostly due to viruses. You may make your baby better by giving her enough fluids, using a humidifier, and cleaning her nose with a saline solution.

I'm hive positive when I was pregnant with my daughter she is 18 years old now but she don't know about it is she infected?
Female | 38
Being HIV positive is a major concern, yet it doesn't necessarily mean transmission to your daughter. Daily activities like sharing meals or embracing do not spread HIV. The virus can only transmit via blood, sexual relations, or during childbirth. Getting your daughter tested for HIV will provide certainty. If positive, treatments exist to maintain her health. There's no need for excessive worry; simply encourage her to undergo testing.

Constipation in my baby. He not passing motion daily what to do
Male | month
It’s common for infants to experience irregular bowel movements, which can be influenced by their diet or hydration levels. Symptoms might include discomfort, fussiness, or straining during attempts to pass stools. To help alleviate this, ensure your baby is drinking enough fluids, and consider introducing fiber-rich foods if they have started solids. Gentle tummy massage can also be soothing. However, if you notice prolonged discomfort, blood in the stools, or other concerning signs, I recommend consulting your pediatrician for tailored advice and reassurance. They can provide you with the guidance you need for your baby’s health and comfort.

My 8 years old daughter have cough during playing time(running, climbing stairs, climatic changes). when she was in 3 months & 5 Months old,she admitted in hospital due to cough (lung infection)..... now after vomit her cough is going to better.Is Nimococal vaccination is suggested for her at this age?
Female | 8
Your daughter seems to be struggling with a persistent cough, especially during playtime and with sudden weather changes. Considering her history of lung infections, the pneumococcal vaccination might be a good option. This vaccine helps protect against bacteria that can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia, supporting her lung health. Please check with her pediatrician to see if she is eligible for the vaccine.

7 year old daughter had a fall on Saturday and cut the back of her head. She needed staples which will be removed tomorrow. Doctor said to monitor for any signs of head trauma within first 24 hours. She did not vomit, pass out, or have any pupil dilation when it occured. Doctor didn’t even check during visit. No issues within the 24 hour period and nothing since. Questions is, would she be able to participate in her soccer game with her team as goalie?
Female | 7
It's great to hear your daughter has shown no signs of head trauma after her fall. However, given that she had staples placed in her head, it’s best to avoid any physical activities like soccer until the wound has fully healed and the staples are removed. Please consult with her pediatrician or the doctor who treated her to get personalized advice on when she can safely return to sports.

My baby cries a lot to sleep for every nap o try to put him to sleep
Male | 0
It's hard when babies cry a lot during sleep time. They might be super tired or have trouble settling down. Sometimes gas pains or sore gums from teething can also cause fussiness. A calming routine helps. Maybe give them a warm bath, read a book, sing lullabies. Make sure their room is cozy, dark, and quiet too. If crying won't stop, ask the doctor just in case.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?
Female | 33
A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

We are on holiday in egypt and my 1 year old came down with a temperature of 38.5 along with a cough, snotty nose and she's sleeping alot. Her temp started last night and dropped during the day today but has gone back up tonight to 38. What should I do? When should I seek medical help?
Female | 1
A mild fever can be common in young children, often indicating a viral infection. Ensure she stays hydrated and comfortable. You may use acetaminophen or ibuprofen, following the appropriate dosage for her age, to help reduce fever and ease discomfort. If her fever persists beyond three days or worsens, or if she shows signs of difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, or dehydration, please seek medical attention promptly. In a foreign country, it's always wise to consult a local pediatrician if you're uncertain.

He been ill last night and didn’t go school Today and been coughing aswell
Male | 13
To have worries when someone is sick is a very normal thing. Conditions like colds, which may come with symptoms such as a sore throat and fatigue, could be the reason for the infection, both the common ones and the mild ones. The best cure for it is rest, water, and a diet that provides relevant nutrients. Using a humidifier will savvily ease coughing. If the symptoms do not go or get worse with some other problem, it is reasonable to discuss this health issue with a pediatrician.

My kid is 3 year old and having a problem that he has a low IQ around 75-80 and learns things slowly and also he has a that he rubs his penis which led to swelling
Male | 3
It's hard to witness your baby encounter difficulties. When children have low-IQ, they can be slow to grasp new knowledge. Failing to reach a low IQ could arise from several reasons. The riddle here is regarding the penis rubbing which could be resulting either from boredom or irritation. To assist your kid, work on love, patience, and fun activities. If the swelling continues, the pediatrician will guide you.

Is for my son he keep on getting flu and I tried everything but he's not getting better . What should I do now
Male | 2
The flu is unpleasant - fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches. Your son's immune system seems weak, allowing repeated infections. He needs rest, hydration, nutritious meals, and frequent handwashing. Speak to a doctor about getting him a flu vaccine. It could prevent future illnesses.

Babies often cough. It's normal and happens for many reasons. Infections cause coughing. So do allergies. Signs of coughing: sore throat, runny nose, tired. Stay hydrated. Rest lots. Don't breathe smoke. Use humidifier or saline drops. The cough might not go soon. If it lasts, see a pediatrician.

Male | 5
It's common for viral infections to cause dysentery with mucous in children. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and may not be needed. Follow your doctor's advice closely. If you have concerns about the medication, discuss them with your pediatrician who can provide the best guidance for your child's condition.

Strange bruises show up on child's face out of the blue
Male | Musa
It's normal for kids to wake up with some facial bruises & not even remember how they got there. Most of the time it's because they bumped into something or got hurt while playing. But also, like, if your child is on certain meds or has certain health problems, bruises are more likely. If they don't go away or you get other signs of something weird going on in the child's body seek medical attention from a physician.

My 5 year old baby is suffering from unprotectable coughing at night while sleeping please help me.. how to control her cough.. she is unable to sleep continuously for 5 minutes
Female | 5
It seems your child is having trouble with nighttime coughing, which can be tough for both of you. This coughing might be due to throat or chest irritation. You can try using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, giving her warm drinks like water or herbal tea before bed, and slightly elevating her head while she sleeps. These steps may help reduce the coughing.
