They'll pre­scribe suitable treatme­nts, potentially including anti-seizure me­dications, to manage the episode­s effectively.

My daughter is 12.5 years old and 165 cm tall. She already has got her period last year when she was 11. Father is 5 feet 8 inch and mother s height is 5 feet 2 inches. I'm worried if she has stopped growing. Can she get few more inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Female | 12

Girls her age, 12.5, often ke­ep on growing for some more ye­ars. Before getting pe­riods, they tend to have growth spurts, and the­n slow growth follows. Since your girl had her period at 11, the­re might be more growing le­ft. Things like her gene­s, eating well, and being he­althy affect growth. Keep e­ncouraging healthy foods, enough slee­p, and exercise for he­r. If worried, chatting with her doctor could help.

My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?

Male | New born baby

Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

My kid had constant throat clearing and dry cough he feels some mucus stuck in throat but couldn't cough out..... It's been the third time in this year now.... What medicine should I give..... No runny nose and fever now....

Male | 10

It seems like your child has postnasal drip. This happens when mucus from the nose drips down into the throat, causing throat clearing sounds and a dry cough. It can happen even without a runny nose or fever. You can help by giving your child warm drinks and using a humidifier to ease the congestion. Make sure they drink plenty of water to help thin the mucus as well.

Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, especially in children, so providing fluids is necessary. You can give your child water but it's essential to do it in small, frequent sips rather than large amounts at once. You can also give ORS to help prevent dehydration.

These symptoms can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. To help your child feel better at home, you can give them plenty of fluids, use a cool-mist humidifier, and consider using saline nasal drops to clear their nose. Auto-intense be sure, that if your child's symptoms worsen or they have difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.

Can we wait for hydrocele surgery for 19months old son as it's painless and not growing. It will be difficult to manage him post surgery as he is non verbal. Also we think it may resolve on its own.

Male | 19months

Hydrocele is when fluid accumulates around the testicle and produce swelling in the scrotum. In most cases, this is not accompanied by pain and the hydrocele may not be symptomatic. Sometimes, hydroceles can resolve on their own without treatment. Nevertheless, in case the hydrocele is significantly large or doesn't diminish, surgical intervention might be required to mitigate any postoperative complications. It is very critical to direct the right pediatric urologist and discuss the accuracy of any possible action on the hydrocele of your son.

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.
