Answered on 2nd July '24
Medicine is crucial but you must be extremely careful with doses. If your child takes too much, it can make them sick. Your son drank double the recommended Nyquil amount. He will likely feel drowsy, dizzy, and have an upset stomach or headache. The overdose happened because the medicine was too strong for his body size. Give him water right away. Watch him carefully for other symptoms. If he seems unwell, don't hesitate to get medical help.

Mera beta subh se kuch nahi kha pi raha bukhar bhi hau
Male | 1
Kids feel lousy when sick. Your child's fever and lack of eating/drinking could mean an infection like a cold or flu. Sometimes, kids don't want food when unwell. Offer lots of liquids - water, juice mixed with water, sips often. Give small meals that digest easily. If the fever is high or your child seems ill, see a pediatrician.

My son 9 yrs old. He does competitive swimming. In last Feb, after xray doctor has told that he has 50% enlargement of adenoid. He allowed to do swimming. Child suffer cold almost once every month. Today also we checked thru endoscopy. It is still 50% as per doctor. Should we continue swimming or we need to stop..we need second opinion
Male | 9
Sometimes having enlarged adenoids can make them more susceptible to cold. Perhaps swimming is a factor that irritates his adenoids. It is important to ensure his health is not sacrificed for his swimming hobby. I suggest giving a short break to him swimming and observing whether his adenoids get better. This might help him get less affected by cold.

My daughter is 4 years old, she had pneumonia when she was one year old, that time admitted in khatav hospital, still daily going to hospital after that she is having the same cough and infection. Every time she had fever, there was no difference. All x-rays and tests were normal.
Female | 4
It sounds concerning that your daughter is still experiencing persistent cough and infections despite previous treatment for pneumonia. It's important to consult a pediatric pulmonologist. They can assess her symptoms thoroughly, consider other possible causes, and recommend appropriate treatment to manage her condition effectively. Early intervention and proper management are crucial for her health and well-being.

Male | 0
In children, any fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit should be investigated. It might mean there’s an infection present. It’s important to go through the blood test report for any indications of an infection. The most likely causes are respiratory or urinary tract infections. After you get the results, make sure you book another appointment with a pediatrician so that they can recommend the right treatment.

My toddler is 2 and half years old and have been noticing constant snoring when he falls asleep and have some restless night , this is very worring and just need advise. Thank you so much
Male | 2
Snoring in toddlers is often caused by partially blocked airways, which may result from enlarged tonsils or adenoids. It's important to consult an ear, nose, and throat specialist for evaluation and treatment. Additionally, ensure your child sleeps in a comfortable position with the right pillows. Don't ignore this issue—talk to a pediatrician to help your child sleep better.

Female | 27
The bite of a rat may make you think your child is at risk simply because you are pregnant. Rats’ bites may sometimes cause infections that can pass onto the baby. If you observe any of the symptoms, such as redness, swelling, pain, or fever at the bite site, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider.

A variety of factors such as teething, unfamiliar foods, or infections like a tummy bug - can cause the change in bowel movements in infants. Keep a record of the baby's excretion, and Ensure that your baby is hydrated. If this is your worry, it is better to consult a pediatrician for better advice.

Vomiting and brown-colored urine aren't normal. Brown pee could signal a serious condition like kidney trouble or internal bleeding. Getting him checked out promptly is crucial. Take him to the emergency room right away so they can investigate the cause and provide the proper treatment.

Gave my son a pedialax suppository to help him poop and he’s had diarrhea for about 3days now and has a pretty bad rash from it what can I do?is it normal?
Male | 5
The Pedialax suppository seems to have caused those side effects. Diarrhea happens when the tummy gets irritated. Rashes come from skin irritation. Give your son lots of water to stay hydrated. Put a gentle cream on the rash. If it doesn't improve soon, talk to a doctor. These issues should go away, but get help if needed. Reach out to a pediatrician for advice if concerns persist.

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 husband is 24 years old he having fever for five days.cold and throat pain ,diriyea to Now his nose is bleeding why is that he had 102 fever yesterday
Male | 24
It appears that your spouse has antibodies that might be the root cause of a virus like a cold or influenza. Fever, uncomfortable throat, and gastrointestinal distress may all be present simultaneously. Nosebleeds can be caused by nasal congestion or irritation. Besides, give him plenty of fluids and use a humidifier to make him feel better. If the symptoms don’t disappear after a week, they even worsen, or he gets other problems, please make an appointment for him to see a doctor and have a full checkup with subsequent treatment.

For a 5-year-old with prickly heat, keep the affected area cool and dry, dress in loose-fitting, breathable clothing, and apply calamine lotion or a mild hydrocortisone cream to soothe irritation. Avoid excessive sweating and heat exposure. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.

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.
