It seems your son is unwell. Fever in children is usually seen along with infections that have germs as the causative agent. The body may bring fever to get rid of these diseases. Be certain that he is well hydrated first, eats nutritious food, and rests accordingly. You should consult a pediatrician if the fever persists.

My daughter is 9 months old and she fell face first from a child’s lap onto the grass. I am wondering if I should be concerned
Female | 9 month
When a baby falls from so low a point, they may only get a bump or a little bruise. Observe your daughter for one or two days if she behaves strangely or shows signs of being in pain. If she looks all right and acts normal then she is probably fine. However, in case you notice any worrying things like vomiting a lot, sleeping too much, or becoming very irritable please take the child to a pediatrician for a check-up as soon as possible

My daughter 2.4 year old having 12 mm atrial septal defect . she is only 11.5 kg in weight,don't eat properly,having cold and cough most of the time. My question is at which age i do need closure of my child . is it close by device or do i need surgery. what is the minimum age for device closure.
Female | 2
Your daughter has a 12 mm opening in the wall between the upper chambers of her heart. This opening makes her feel exhausted, lose appetite, and get sick frequently. The opening typically needs closing when she turns 3 to 5 years old. Closing may involve inserting a device or undergoing surgery. Speaking with a heart specialist can help determine the ideal approach for your child.

Hi my 4 months old baby has been having a diarrhea than we took him to the hospital n they prescribed me septrin for the diarrhea n his been overdose his pooping yellow watery, vomiting, skin heating up what should I do?
Male | 4 months
It’s understandable to be concerned about your baby's symptoms. Yellow, watery stools and vomiting can indicate gastrointestinal distress, possibly due to an infection or adverse reaction to medication. Elevated skin temperature may suggest a fever. It's crucial to keep your baby hydrated by offering frequent small sips of oral rehydration solution. Watch for any worsening symptoms, such as blood in stool or increased lethargy. I recommend reaching out to your pediatrician or visiting the hospital again for a thorough assessment.

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.

My 4 year old son has cold fever what I have to do
Male | 4
When your child comes down with more, fever. He might get sick. Health issues like runny nose, cough, and irritability may be among the main symptoms. They will mostly be caused by a viral infection. One way to help him cope as meltdown unfolds is to make sure he adequately takes fluids and gets enough rest. You can also use a humidifier in his room to make the air moist so that he can breathe easily. The fever could be treated with appropriate fever drugs such as acetaminophen, depending on the age, but the pediatrician should be consulted on the right dosage. In case the symptoms are still there or they get worse, please go to the hospital to check and let the doctor know what is happening.

Best formula milk fr 0 to 6 mnth baby
Female | 26
Deciding on the best infant formula for your baby's health and well-being is a major decision. During the first 6 months of life, you should give him a complete nutrient that contains essential vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid formulas for babies that contain corn syrup, high fructose syrup, or sucrose. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are two of the possible health problems that will cause serious damage to our kids.

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.

My son accidentally swallows a bipilac tablet
Male | 13
If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.

Good day doctor, I will like to know what medication or what food my baby of one year can take, he is so skinny and it's really affecting his development, his birth weight was 4.0kg and up till now he hasn't gain a reasonable weight, his last weight at 9 months was 6.4kg (birth date 9th of May, 2023)
Male | 1
To help boost your little one's weight, try nutrient-packed foods like avocados, bananas, sweet potatoes, and yogurt. But it's also wise to consult a pediatrician. They can check for any medical problems and provide tailored advice.

My baby boy is 5 months old. His birth weight was 2.7 and now he is 5.6kg. I am worried whether the weight gain is proper. When to start solids for him. I mean what is the indication?? What to give him initially while starting solids like just ragi ceri or start with fruits na vegetable puree?? Initially how many times to give solids?
Male | Boy of harshini
At 5 months, a weight of 5.6 kg is generally acceptable, but each child is unique. Solid foods can be introduced around 6 months, showing readiness through signs like good head control and interest in food. Initially, focus on single-grain cereals or pureed fruits and vegetables. Start with small amounts, once a day, gradually increasing as he adapts. Remember, every baby's journey is different, so consulting your pediatrician can offer tailored advice and reassurance for your concerns.

Male | 4
Kids often don't have an appetite and get sick. This can happen when they're growing up fast. Infections, bad food choices, or even stress might cause it. Make sure your son eats healthy stuff like fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Little meals and snacks work better than big ones sometimes. He needs water and rest too. If it keeps happening, talk to the doctor about what's going on and what to do next.

My wife breastfeeds my son is 1 year and 2 months old can she take a 5 mg clonazepam tablet just one day once is it harmful in the same way???
Female | 20
Clonazepam gets into breast milk, potentially harming babies. Avoiding its use during breastfeeding, mainly without medical guidance, proves crucial. Infants might experience drowsiness, breathing difficulties, and additional side effects due to Clonazepam. Before consuming any medication while nursing, consulting a doctor seems advisable for your wife's well-being.

My daughter who is 20 months old hasnt pooped in the last 6 days...but doesnt show any sign of discomforts...Im trying to give her more liquid foods and she has her food also properly...what are the steps i need to take to make sure she poops..what are foods i need to include for her
Female | 1
Don't stress if your 20-month-old hasn't pooped for 6 days but seems okay. Constipation is normal for kids. You're right to offer more liquids. Water, prune juice, pears are good options. Whole grains, veggies, beans may also assist. Keep her active. If she still doesn't poop after trying these, it's wise to see a pediatrician.

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.

Variations exist when kids develop speech skills. If speaking challenges arise with your son, potential reasons could be hearing issues, developmental delays, or simply taking more time. I suggest seeking a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a speech therapist. They'll provide insight into nurturing his speech progress.

Female | 15
Hand, foot, and mouth disease affects many youngsters. Still, adults may contract this viral issue too. Symptoms have fever, aches when swallowing, and blister formations on hands, feet, and in the mouth region. Spreading occurs via close-contact situations. To heal, rest adequately, consume fluids diligently, and utilize pain relievers as required. Avoid transmitting further by washing hands frequently.
