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.

My child doesn't speak in sentence
Female | 3
If your child doesn't speak in sentences, it might be a sign of a speech or developmental delay. It's important to consult a pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist. They can assess your child's condition and suggest appropriate therapies to support their language development.

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.

Female | 6 months
Giving mefmin and trifect plus syrup together to a 6-month-old baby is not recommended. These medicines may potentially harm babies due to side effects. If your little one has symptoms like fever or discomfort, it's best to consult a pediatrician before giving any medication.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Male | 4
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.

can i get a letter of recovery for my hand foot mouth disease
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.

New born baby 12 days old girl having constipation and vomiting after drinking breastfeeding
Female | 12 days old
A baby can sometimes have difficulty with bowel movements and regurgitating milk. Your 12-day-old girl is facing constipation and vomiting post breastfeeding. Constipation leads to strained, infrequent pooping. Vomiting is when ingested milk comes back up. Causes include air gulping while feeding, a sensitive tummy. To aid your baby, try burping more during feeds. Keep her upright after nursing sessions. Gently massage her belly too. However, persisting or worsening symptoms need a pediatrician consultation.

My daughter is 5.3 years old. Her weight is 14.4kg and height -110cm. She hardly feels hungry and since more than 1 year her weight has not increased. She just wants to play and while with friends forgets to eat and drink. In fact since 2 months, there's bit white spot in her face. She doesn't listen/ follow any elderly soon. Can say bit stubborn and sometimes if we donot listen to her, she will cry and try to snatch/hit too.
Female | 5
In this case, her eating habits. Over a proper diet and acne-like problems, though can be infections of the milder kind. Quiet time with regular meals and snacks can help. Offering small but attractive portions and ensuring a welcoming eating environment can promote the children's successful nutrition. After you are ready, could you take a step and involve a pediatrician to consider possible links between her behavioral manifestations and diagnostic tests? The method you take to guide her is critical in enabling her to be healthier.

My baby is 10months old. Recently from 1 week onwards he is going to poop for almost 4times per day. If he eats something he goes for poop. Is it any issue?
Male | 1
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.

I have a 1 year old with RSV and her oxygen level is siting at 91% should I be concerned. It dropped to 87% for a split second then shot back up to 91%. She is breathing 26 breathes per minute.
Female | 1
A 91% oxygen level is slightly low for a one-year-old with RSV. This virus makes breathing harder for babies. The dropping oxygen shows her lungs are struggling. Watch her closely to ensure she's comfortable. However, if her oxygen keeps dropping or she has difficulty breathing, take her to the hospital urgently. Ensure she drinks lots of fluids and rests.

Pani ki kami kasy door krn 4 month old baby ha diahrea ho raha
Female | 4 month
Having a baby with diarrhea is concerning. Watery stools can quickly dehydrate infants. You must provide extra breast milk or formula. Stay away from sugary beverages. Diarrhea often stems from infections, food sensitivities, or overfeeding. Persistent diarrhea lasting over 24 hours or bloody stools require medical attention. Don't hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician if symptoms worsen or fail to improve.
