Male | 4

A speech delay in autism means a child may have problems talking or expressing their thoughts. This can be a source of frustration for them. Continue with speech therapy as it can develop communication skills. On the other hand, visual aids and repeating routines can help her become clear about him.

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.

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.

Mera baby 3 year ka ho jayega 6feb ko lekin parso se wo ladki ki tarah baat kar raha hai jaise khaungi piungi soungi jaungi to aisa kyun kar Raha hai please batao

Male | 3

Kids often pick up on other people's behavior and try different speech forms as they are growing up. Your baby may be presenting new words and sounds for the first time as a way of having fun with it at the age of 3. It is a usual part of their development thus they are learning to talk. Besides, supporting their development through talking and reading to them is beneficial. Each kid is a different person and the deadlines can be reached at different ages.
