Why can't my 3-year-old stand after walking?
The baby is 3 years old…he walked all the way back from church and all of a sudden can’t seem to stand placing his hands on his knees crying

Answered on 2nd July '24
Kids sometimes grow fast. During this, leg muscles can't stretch enough. This causes Osgood-Schlatter disease near the knees. Pain strikes after lots of walking or running. Recommend that the child take breaks, put ice packs on knees, and take acetaminophen pills. If the agony continues, visit a pediatrician soon. They'll examine and advise further treatment if required.

Female | 20 mnth
It sounds like your baby might have a fever. A temperature of 100.4°F is a sign of fever in a 20-month-old child. It's best to consult a pediatrician to understand the cause and get proper treatment. They can provide the right advice and care for your baby.

Male | 4
Variations exist when kids develop speech skills. If speaking challenges arise with your son, potential reasons could be hearing issues, developmental delays, or simply taking more time. I suggest seeking a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a speech therapist. They'll provide insight into nurturing his speech progress.

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.

Hi, my baby is 1 year and 3 month old, he is stooling watery every midnight for 3 days now, am on birth control injection, could it be the birth control or am pregnant pls am confused
Female | 1
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. Watch for signs of dehydration: dry mouth, no tears when crying. Give your baby more fluids. If watery stools persist, consult your child's pediatrician.

t is quite common for children to experience fever following immunization. Sometimes stomach discomfort can also occur because of the same. She should take a lot of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and eat light meals. In case these signs persist or become severe, see a pediatrician.

A child of 2 and half years old is suffering with fever from last night we tried tylenol but fever is not lowering what to do next
Male | 2
When your child has a fever, it can cause worry. But staying calm is key. Most fevers in kids happen due to infections. If Tylenol fails to reduce the fever, give a lukewarm bath and drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated. Dress them in light, comfortable clothes. However, if the fever persists, you should contact a pediatrician.

Fever 100.03 give dolo Cyrup before one hour
Male | 1
Your temperature being slightly high at 100.03°F indicates a fever. An infection, perhaps the flu or a cold, could cause this elevated body heat. To alleviate the symptoms, consider taking dolo syrup. This medication can reduce fever and improve your overall feeling. However, it's crucial to rest adequately, maintain proper hydration by drinking ample fluids, and prioritize comfort during this time. If the fever persists or additional concerning symptoms arise, please visit a pediatrician.

Hi sir/maam My son of age 7 years is having breathing problem from childhood. We have tried with several doctors but no use. During sleep time he will breathe with mouth. Esnophil count also 820 is there. Not getting what to do for him
Male | 7
He's breathing through his mouth while sleeping. His eosinophil count is also high. These can point to asthma or allergies. Kids with these conditions often struggle to breathe well. Working closely with a pulmonologist is key. They'll figure out the right meds or strategies to manage allergies.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?
Female | 33
A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

This means that the child could have low muscle tone i.e. hypotonia which could be an indication of brain damage. Other examples include delays in learning new tactics and staying strong like rolling and crawling. It's crucial to get a pediatrician's advice to get the optimal treatment

Mere bete ne pink cotton canddy khai thi or uska peshab gulabi ho gaya hai
पुरुष | 2
Eating pink cotton candy can give your son pink urine. Harmless, yet odd. It's called "pink urine syndrome". Certain dyes pass through the body unchanged. He should drink lots of water to flush it out. Don't let him eat too much. But if pink urine persists or he feels pain, take him to see a urologist.

Female | 2
When the body fights an infection, fever can occur. Signs that may point to a serious infection are vomiting and high fever. The injection given at the hospital may require time before its effects are seen. It's important to keep her hydrated and try cooling methods. If the fever persists, further doctor evaluation may be needed..

My child vomited 3 times last night, today he refuses food, he is indisposed, he doesn't want anything
Male | 3
Your kid seems to be not epic at all. If a child throws up multiple times and then says he does not want to eat, it could be possible that his tummy is upset. This can be many things such as a tummy bug or food intolerance. The best thing you can do is keep him hydrated with small sips of water and let his tummy rest by avoiding food for a bit. You should take him to a pediatrician.

Keep the impacted area clean and dry. Don't share personal items like towels. With proper care, resolving fungal infections is straightforward.

Male | 2
Your baby's trouble peeing is worrying. Infrequent, small puddles aren't normal. Dehydration or infection could explain it. Few wet diapers raise red flags for babies. Even if reluctant, keep giving milk and water often. Have a pediatrician examine the issue promptly.

If your little one accidentally ingested expired SQUINIC-M, carefully observe for any abnormal signs like vomiting, loose stools, or skin irritation.
