my child is having crt 12.95 mg/L and pus cells in urinal microscopic exam 12-14/,hpf
Female | 9
A urinary tract infection may be causing your child's symptoms, based on the test results. Pain or discomfort during urination, frequent urges to pee, and feeling unwell are typical signs. The presence of pus cells and elevated CRT levels indicate an infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult a pediatrician for antibiotic treatment, as that's usually recommended. Though short symptoms prevail, antibiotics will likely resolve the issue.

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.

Two children fought and one chil cut finger of another than he need to be vaccinated.
Male | 11
Cuts may lead to infections, so check if the injured child is up-to-date with their tetanus shot. Tetanus is a germ that enters through cuts, causing stiff, spasming muscles. The vaccine helps fight this germ off. Check if the cut child is protected against tetanus. If not, get them vaccinated to prevent infections or issues.

Female | 24
For an 8-year-old girl using Waxonil ear drops, place 2-3 drops in the affected ear twice daily. It's best to let her lie down with the ear facing up for a few minutes after applying. Always consult a pediatrician or an ENT specialist for proper guidance and to ensure it's safe for her condition.

My 1 year old daughter is always rubbing her ears and putting her fingers in her ears.
Female | 1
An ear infection caused by bacteria or viruses is the most common reason. Colds can sometimes cause this too. To help, give pain medicine and use a warm cloth on the ear. If earaches persist, take your child to see a pediatrician for an examination.

If your son is frequently getting viral infections every month, it's important to consult a pediatrician.

In some situations, consuming one could lead to tummy troubles, puking, or diarrhea. Monitor your baby closely for any odd signs. Usually, the body will flush it out naturally. However, if severe symptoms arise or their behavior seems off, don't hesitate to call a pediatrician.

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.

The symptoms could mean your brother has trouble with muscles or nerves. This might happen due to muscle issues or nerve problems. Still, a doctor is needed to find the real cause and proper treatment. Meanwhile, help him with healthy foods and exercises he can do. Choose things that don't strain him too much, to uplift his well-being. Watch closely for any changes and quickly see an orhopedist if needed.

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.

Hello my baby is 7 months old n has a stuffy nose also has gur gur sound while breathing through nose. What could be the problem? What is the solution?
Male | 7 months
Your baby probably has a common cold or a viral infection. The stuffy nose and sound while breathing could be due to congestion. Make sure to hydrate your baby sufficiently and then use a bulb syringe to suck out the mucus. Alternatively, you may run a humidifier to help loosen congestion. Be vigilant regarding your baby's temperature, and if you observe any symptoms of a fever or difficulty breathing, consult a pediatrician.

What can I give a girl having high temperature
Female | 5
Fevers are the body's reaction to fighting off germs. Drink lots of water. Take acetaminophen for the fever. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, visit a doctor. That's important because high fevers can be worrisome. A mild fever under 102 Fahrenheit is okay and common for kids during minor illnesses. But anything over 103 Fahrenheit means getting medical attention. Keeping fluids up and medication helps kids feel better during fevers.

Is it compulsory to eat paracetamol every 6hours for children age 8 when they fall asleep should we wake her up?
Female | 8
Your kid is dealing with fever and pain. They're on paracetamol every six hours. Follow the dosage as instructed. Too much medication can harm. Should you wake your sleeping child for medicine? If they're resting well, let them sleep. Sleep aids healing. No need to disturb good rest. Keep giving meds per doctor's orders.

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.

I am 12 years old and I am a female who has been having chest pain for at least 2 and a half years now. It has been happening with sharp pains either my left arm or right arm. It hurts very badly and sometimes I feel very sharp pains near the chest area. Though breast pain may not have to do with this but I get it when I'm not on my period or when my period isn't even yet to come. Today I have felt a sharp pain near the breast area , underneath them. The chest pains as well come every so often. There were times were I wasn't able to sleep due to the pain near or on my chest. I have told my parents and seen a doctor once but the doctors said nothing about it at all and only talked about my allergies. So I'm concerned if this is bad because there are times I think I wont be alive by the next day because of the pain. Maybe I am just overthinking but I don't want to not know what's going on. So please answer my concerns if you can.
Female | 12
Chest pain at a young age can be related to various causal factors, such as muscle strain or an anxiety attack. However, there can also be a connection to the sharp pain in the arms. You must see a cardiologist. Next time remember it is vital to point out chest pain including other symptoms. Based on this observation and your results, they may suggest the needed tests.
