I have a son who is 4 yrs he snore so loudly at night what could be the issue
Male | 4
It is quite common for kids to snore, however, when it is loud, it may be a hint of a health problem. Snoring mainly occurs when the airflow to your son's lungs is obstructed while he is asleep. This condition can occur because of enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, or simply anatomy. Sometimes it may lead to poor quality of sleep. To assist, consider making his room cooler, keeping his bed clean, and if you're worried, talking to a pediatrician.

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 baby belly has bloated and it is hard from 5 days How long does it will be
Female | 1
The reason for this could be constipation, gas, or an infection. If the baby experiences other symptoms like being moody, not eating well, or being fussy more than usual, you should immediately visit a pediatrician. Additionally, light tummy massages and practicing a bicycle motion with the baby can work as an aid in relieving discomfort.

3 yrs girl having high fever what should we do
Female | 3
A high fever in a small kid can be concerning. Infections frequently cause fevers. Find out if she has other signs like coughing, runny nose, or belly pain too. Give her the proper dose of fever medicine meant for children, for example, acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ensure she stays hydrated by drinking plenty of liquids. If the fever persists or she seems extremely ill, don't delay - reach out to a pediatrician.

My son se 8 year old he has 3 tablets of Imodium know he was breathing very heavyly and some time he was perfectly alright plz help me
Male | 8
This can be caused by the fact that Imodium may slow down your son's metabolic function. When he is breathing heavily, he is essentially trying to increase the oxygen flow to his body. Please do not give him extra Imodium. Likewise, keep an eye on him to see if he goes back to breathing normally again. If he keeps on having breathing issues, it is necessary to visit a pediatrician.

My son is 12year old his mind is ok but he can't work only he can be alright there sir
Male | 12
Your son might face muscular weakness, making activities challenging. Weak muscles lack sufficient strength, often from lack of exercise or proper nutrition. However, a healthcare provider's guidance, exercises, and balanced diet can gradually improve muscle strength. Encourage active lifestyle and nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains for muscle growth.

Since 15 days my child i having coughing ... She always complaints to have pain behind the head ..can i knw why?
Female | 3
A cough lasting 15 days poses challenges. Coughing strains the head and neck muscles, potentially causing headaches behind the head. Ensure your child stays hydrated; proper rest is vital. Consult a pediatrician to rule out serious conditions. Monitor your child closely; seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen.

I doubt my baby swallowed a piece of glass
Male | 1
Glass in the mouth is a serious thing. You need to watch your baby closely. Glass can scratch or cut their insides. Look for choking, drooling, and discomfort. If their tummy hurts or they have trouble breathing, that's not good. Take them to see a doctor right away in these cases.

Hi my baby is 15 months old , having cold and cough from few days..but from yesterday he is breathing very very fast..night time it was little ok...now early morning again started...i just want ro know is it normal or aome issues..plz suggeat me doctor plz.
Male | 1
Fast breathing may be due to several reasons, such as nasal congestion or a respiratory infection. The first step in keeping your little one safe is to watch for their discomfort and take your child to a doctor. Satisfy them with enough water and let a vaporizer help them breathe better. However, if rapid breathing persists or gets worse, it is essential to consult a pediatrician.

Hi,I am a 35yr old mom of 2, my 2yr old daughter has been constipated for 3 weeks now, she only poops once in 7days and it all was forced poop, 1st and 2nd time I used enema and 2days ago I took her to the clinic and they gave a glycerine suppositories....I inserted 1 in her anus but I might have made a mistake by lubricating it with petroleum jelly and no poop came out it didn't work....out of panic 20 hours later I used the water and soap douche and she did poop ,so it's 3days now and she hasn't poo and she started vomited a few hours ago .
Female | 2
In a state when a child does not poop for an extended period, it may bring a feeling of uneasiness and cause vomiting in the child's body. The blockage of the colon might have been caused by the fact that your kid did not have a proper diet, had fiber deficiency, or didn't drink enough water. Give her to eat more fruits, and vegetables, and drink water.

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.

Mera baccha 2 month ka h jiske 2 din phale foot par vaccin lagi thi . Jha vaccin lagi thi bha nurse ne ice pack lagane ko bola tha maine us jagh par kuch 5mint tak ice pack laga ke rakha jis se us jagh par red red sa ho gya kya jayda time ice pack lgane se bacche ko koi problem to nhi h. Bacche ko us jagh par kaffi dard hota h or bo kaise teekh hoga
Male | 2 month
It's common to see swelling in the place where a baby gets a vaccine. Since ice packs bring down swelling and diminish the pain, they are advantageous. Long-time application of the ice pack might have resulted in redness. It's all right. However, apply it for a few minutes only next time. It usually happens on its own. If your baby is in a lot of pain, you can give them infant pain relief.

7 year old daughter had a fall on Saturday and cut the back of her head. She needed staples which will be removed tomorrow. Doctor said to monitor for any signs of head trauma within first 24 hours. She did not vomit, pass out, or have any pupil dilation when it occured. Doctor didn’t even check during visit. No issues within the 24 hour period and nothing since. Questions is, would she be able to participate in her soccer game with her team as goalie?
Female | 7
It's great to hear your daughter has shown no signs of head trauma after her fall. However, given that she had staples placed in her head, it’s best to avoid any physical activities like soccer until the wound has fully healed and the staples are removed. Please consult with her pediatrician or the doctor who treated her to get personalized advice on when she can safely return to sports.
