Sir my son is 5 and a half yrs old and our labrador has jump d on him . He has a scratch on his hand it's vaccination date has failed by 4 days .what should I do

Answered on 24th June '24
Dog scratches can sometimes get infected. Here's what you need to do: look closely at the scratch. If it gets red, swollen, or pus starts oozing out, that means it's infected. Clean the scratch with soap and water. Then cover it with a bandage. Your son missed his shots by only 4 days, so he should still have some protection. But keep a close watch on that scratch. If anything seems off, don't wait around. See a doctor right away to be safe.

My daughter is burning up off and on but has had a cold and cough
Female | 1
Your daughter may get a fever due to her cold and cough. The body often raises its temperature to fight infections. Make sure she drinks plenty of fluids, gets enough rest, and gives her fever medicine like acetaminophen if needed. If the fever persists or other symptoms appear, it's best to consult a pediatrician.

Your baby's cough for 3 days is concerning. The syrup and drops are helpful for the relief, and cold symptoms. Since your little one is very young, we'll skip adding more medicine right now. Keep your baby comfortable and warm. Offer lots of fluids. Continue using the prescribed meds. If the cough worsens or persists, you can consider an additional medicine. Closely monitor your baby. Follow the medicine instructions carefully.

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.

Make sure your kiddo drinks enough liquids, rests well, and uses a humidifier to alleviate coughing. You could offer honey as well. If your child appears very ill or struggles breathing, seek medical attention promptly.

Hi, my baby was born without the soft spot on his head should I be concerned?
Male | 1
Babies often arrive without the soft spot called a fontanelle. This happens when head bones join early before birth. Generally, it's fine, as long as the baby grows well. Though you'll want to mention it to your pediatrician. They can check that development is on track. If any issues arise, the doctor will advise next steps.

A 1-year-old might have watery stools for various reasons. It's unlikely related to birth control. It could be a stomach bug or something they ate.

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.
