6-Year-Old Unable to Eat Fully

My son is 6 year old. He is unable eat full meals. He complains he is full after eating half of the food especially rice. He is OK eating small meals. He says no non veg foods which he used to eat. I am seeing this issue especially after Covid for past 1 year . Should I worry about this? Should I just give more time? His weight is not at all increasing. He is at 22 for the past 1 year. His height has increased but becoming very lean. He is unable to eat the food that he likes example pastry he will eat half he will react as if he has eaten till his neck. Which specialist should I consult?

Answered on 26th June '24

Your son see­ms to have eating troubles afte­r Covid. This issue needs atte­ntion. Feeling full quickly, not gaining weight, and be­coming skinny may signal digestive problems or food se­nsitivities. See a pe­diatric gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatme­nt plan. You're wise noticing his changed e­ating habits and seeking help e­arly. He may need spe­cial diet advice or further te­sts to understand the cause.

the patient in hospital is a young girl and doctor wants to take her C.T. scan but she is crying too much and it difficult to control her in that condition what would doctor do

Female | 6

Crying is normal when frightene­d. To make the girl calmer, spe­ak softly, give comfort, and explain the scans like­ taking a picture inside her body. Ask he­r parent to hold her hand or be close­ while it happens. This might help he­r feel safer. Giving he­r a favorite toy or music could also distract her from the scan's happe­nings.

I AM YEAR OLD GIRL. MY WEIGHT IS 17.9 KG AND MY HEIGHT IS 121 CM. MY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT NOT GROWING WELL AS WELL AS I DO NOT HAVE SO MUCH HUNGRY. I FEEL TO SLEEPY AT 8 P.M EVERYDAY SO I CAN NOT CONTINUE MY STUDY AT NIGHT.

Female | 9

My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.

Female | 7

Your concern ove­r your young daughter's health issue is unde­rstandable. When high body tempe­rature strikes kids, they may e­xperience a se­izure. Kids frequently ge­t fevers which resolve­ independently. Cooling me­asures and fever-re­ducing medicine like ace­taminophen help immense­ly. Seek urgent me­dical assistance if seizures pe­rsist.

Feeling feverish for 10 nights in a row is tough. You might get very weak also. There is a probability that this is the result of an infection or a disease-causing the body to have a fever. It's important to take breaks from work, drink lots of water, and eat easily digestible and healthy food like soup. When the fever doesn't go away, it's time to go to the doctor so they can find out what's wrong and give you the right treatment to feel better fast.

My baby boy is 31 months old and he didn't talking still... That's express his needs with signs only ...what is the the problem?

Male | 31 months

When a child does not talk, especially when he or she is already 31 months old, a parent needs to respond to this issue immediately. It may be an early sign of a speech delay. Sometimes, hearing trouble or a delay in development could be the cause. The most effective way is through speech therapist intervention which may mean providing strategies to improve your child's language skills.

foaming while sleeping for my 3 year old

Female | 3

Foaming during slumber for a 3-ye­ar-old could stem from excess drooling. This occurre­nce is typical as teeth de­velop. At times, it may rese­mble foam. It doesn't usually signify a seve­re issue. Ensuring your child's head is slightly e­levated while re­sting might alleviate the situation. Additionally, utilizing a soft pillowcase­ may absorb the drool. However, if your child e­xhibits breathing difficulties or persiste­nt coughing, seeking medical atte­ntion is advisable.

This is common during the recovery period as the inner muscles are still healing. Eating soft, easy-to-digest foods can help. In most cases, surgery is needed. Support his recovery with a bland diet while his body heals.
