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.

Baby ko kuch vi hajam nhi hota hai vomitting ho jati hai bilkul weak ho raha hai
Male | 3 - 5
There might be some side effects such as gastric disturbances or infections from a certain impact on your baby, which we name. Vomiting or feeling weak sometimes happens on account of food or a virus being the cause. It is so important that you make them drink a lot of water so that they may not get dehydrated. Peanut butter or bland foods like khichdi can be offered. But if this situation is getting worse or your baby is getting weaker, then contact a pediatrician right away. Professional advice is necessary for the health of your baby.

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.

Kids deal with coughing and colds differently. Typical signs include a drippy nose, sneezing fits, and lingering cough. Viruses spread easily, causing these issues. 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.

I am writing to seek your advice regarding my 3-year-old child. I have noticed small lumps on both sides of her neck, and I am concerned about whether this could indicate a serious health issue.
Female | 3
Sometimes, small lumps in the neck area are caused by lymph nodes. This is a normal response to viruses or allergies. These swellings occur when the immune system is fighting with the body. Normally such cases will be harmless and will be resolved once the body takes care of itself but it is always best to see a pediatrician to get a thorough checkup done. They may offer you a solution and, if it is needed, the right course of treatment.

i’m in my first trimester of pregnancy and i’m freaking out because i just took dayquil and so my question is will my baby be okay?
Female | 23
Moms can feel very uneasy if they have taken something during pregnancy that was not on the medication list they were given. Hence you should reach the healthcare provider yourself for customized advice. You can independently diagnose and reassure him or her. Some signs to look out for are severe headaches, lasting nausea, and any other abnormal symptoms. Consult a physician. They will give you the most appropriate information needed to make a decision that you feel comfortable with and your baby is healthy too. Don't forget to ask questions and get the help you need during this personal growth.

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.
