Child Coughing After Bath: What to Do?
My son had a bath about 3 hours ago and he’s been coughing and was gagging, almost choking. I want to know what i should do
General Physician
Answered on 24th June '24
Your little one's coughing fit after bath time may signal some water got into his airways. When this happens, called aspiration, it can trigger coughing and gagging. Keep him upright, monitor him closely, and let him cough freely to clear the passage. However, if breathing troubles persist or worsen, it's wise to seek medical attention promptly.

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.

My 11 year old girl is getting cramps on her middle finger atlist three times in a month and i have notice all her fingers is turning dark in color
Female | 11
The middle finger cramps and the darkening of all fingers sound uncomfortable. The reason is there may not be enough blood flow in the fingers. One common cause is Raynaud's disease, which is a disorder that affects blood flow. If the issue gets worse, talk to an orthopedist.

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.

Female | 3
For roughly 3 months your child has endured recurring fever episodes. Fever accompanied by joint discomfort can stem from various causes. However, a frequent reason in children is juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This ailment occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's joints, resulting in inflammation and pain. Promptly schedule an appointment with a pediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment recommendations.

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.

What is the reason to my 45 days baby not drinking milk in two days
Male | 1.5 month
Babies usually don't drink much milk but if two days have passed and your baby is 45 days old then you should be concerned. It could be a little tummy ache, not feeling well, or maybe even a sore throat be some reasons for this. You may try to give smaller quantities of milk for a while more often and also make the temperature of the milk no colder than too cold or too hot. If this persists, it would be advisable to see a pediatrician.

Mujhe mumps hua tha 23 din ho gaye par halka halka dard abhi bhi hai kaan k neeche or jeebh bilkul sukhi silukhi rahti he
Female | 40
Mumps can leave discomfort behind. It causes a viral infection, making salivary glands swell. This leads to ear and mouth pain, dryness. Some symptoms may linger after the infection ends. Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water. Avoid acidic, spicy foods – they could irritate. Get lots of rest. If pain persists or worsens, see a doctor.

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.

My son 7months old, he s getting cold often for past four months, before three months we kept nebulizer for him. After medicines he s getting cured but after a week again he s getting cold may I know wats the reason and how can I prevent him
Male | 7 months
Colds are quite common in infants as their immune systems develop. A runny or stuffy nose is the primary symptom. The recurrence stems from his immature immunity against germs. To prevent future colds, maintain a hygienic environment, practice frequent handwashing, and limit exposure to ill individuals. Nutritious dietary intake and adequate rest can bolster his immunity. However, if the cold persists or concerning symptoms arise, consult a pediatrician.

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.
