My son was speaking well. He is 2 years old. But suddenly for the past 2 to 3 weeks he is facing difficulty is speaking. He faces difficulty is starting words. It looks like he is putting lot of pressure to utter the word. It happens randomly and does not happen always. When we ask him to tell the word again, he will try but some time having difficulties and he stop saying and other time he tried and some how he is saying with wrong word like he will say mammy to ammy and bappi to appi, Not sure of the reason for this sudden change. Any advice will be helpful. Thank you.

The reasons may be varied. sometimes some parts of the brain can be affected as a result of shuttle ischemic attack (which is not uncommon in children) or maybe due to some metabolic cause that is affecting speech related to the brain. MRI BRAIN WITH MRI Spectroscopy should be done along with detailed physical &neurological examination of the child.Also, look for any worsening of other developmental domains for example difficulties in standing or in gripping something. You can also consult the Pediatricians for further information.

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.

Male | 4
From what you say, your son may be experiencing an allergic reaction after swimming. Allergies may be responsible for the symptoms such as itching, rash, sneezing, or difficulty breathing. Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is a medicine for allergies. The initial dosage for your son, who weighs 8 kg, will be 3-4 mL. However, it is always better to seek the advice of a pediatrician before determining the accurate dosage.

Mere 10 days ka new born baby hai I have rehumatiod arthritis kya mai use breastfeeding krwa skti hun ese use koi health issues toh nhi hoga?
Female | 25
Rheumatoid arthritis does not harm your baby through breast milk. It's a kind of autoimmune disease that has joint pain and swelling issues. You are not giving your baby the disease through breastfeeding. Following your care regime as your doctor indicated is essential. Only if otherwise told by the doctor of medications that are not suitable to take during breastfeeding.

My 1 year old hit his head recently and has been trying to sleep when he does fall asleep he’s hard to wake up just curious on what I should do
Male | 1
Many parents worry if their child bumps their head. A toddler who's hard to wake after a head injury may indicate a serious issue. Be alert for constant tiredness, throwing up, or pupils that look different sizes. See a pediatrician quickly to be sure all is well. With young kids' head injuries, it's best to get checked rather than risk harm.

2 year baby doing vomiting in 2 days
Female | 2
This happens sometimes. Maybe a small bug crept in, or some food didn't sit right. The key is keeping baby hydrated with tiny sips of water or rehydration drinks. Stick to gentle eats like bananas and rice too. But if puking persists, or other concerning signs show up, get that checked by a pediatrician.

My son 9 yrs old. He does competitive swimming. In last Feb, after xray doctor has told that he has 50% enlargement of adenoid. He allowed to do swimming. Child suffer cold almost once every month. Today also we checked thru endoscopy. It is still 50% as per doctor. Should we continue swimming or we need to stop..we need second opinion
Male | 9
Sometimes having enlarged adenoids can make them more susceptible to cold. Perhaps swimming is a factor that irritates his adenoids. It is important to ensure his health is not sacrificed for his swimming hobby. I suggest giving a short break to him swimming and observing whether his adenoids get better. This might help him get less affected by cold.

My son is 7years old. He has a very bad cold , runny nose and little cough. What medicine can heal him quickly without making him drowsy.
Male | 7
Your son has the usual cold. The runny nose and cough are caused by a virus. You could provide him with a child's medication that has acetaminophen, which is good for coughing and fever, as for his age. Ensure that he doesn't miss out on fluids and rest. It is advisable not to use over-the-counter cold medicines for children.

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.

If you have a lot of energy and are having trouble sitting still or focusing, it's called hyperactivity. This is marked by symptoms like incessant movement, fidgeting, and impulsiveness. Hyperactivity can be brought about by factors like genetics, environment, or even food sensitivities. To manage the condition of hyperactivity, it is necessary to have a balanced diet, to sleep sufficiently, and to exercise regularly. Occasionally, therapy or medication may also be of assistance.

Maybe your child is not able to hear as well because the outer hair cells in the cochlea are affected. Not only this but the child may lack in hearing or have difficulty in responding to the everyday sounds as it was before. This disorder can be due to infections or because of exposure to loud noises. The positive side is that an audiologist will be able to diagnose the issue and provide solutions, such as hearing aids.

Male | 3.5 month
Your child's fever is concerning. Fevers usually happen when the body fights infections, like colds or flu. To lower fever and improve comfort, give acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ensure they drink water frequently. Let them rest. Use a light blanket to maintain coolness. However, if the fever doesn't improve or worsen, it's crucial to visit a pediatrician immediately.

Baby very unsettled not acting as he usually does / a lot of congestion in nose, crying more than usual and not passing as much poo as usual today
Male | 19 days
Your infant is suffering from either a cold or a slight infection. The stuffiness in their nose may obstruct breathing, thus causing more frequent crying spells. Such a condition can also bring about restlessness. Babies tend to have fewer bowel movements when they have a cold. Ensure that they take enough fluids and get additional sleep. You can relieve the congestion by using a nasal saline spray. However, should these signs continue or worsen, it is imperative to consult a pediatrician.

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.
