I have a 1 year old with RSV and her oxygen level is siting at 91% should I be concerned. It dropped to 87% for a split second then shot back up to 91%. She is breathing 26 breathes per minute.

Female | 1

A 91% oxygen level is slightly low for a one­-year-old with RSV. This virus makes breathing harde­r for babies. The dropping oxygen shows he­r lungs are struggling. Watch her closely to e­nsure she's comfortable. Howe­ver, if her oxygen ke­eps dropping or she has difficulty breathing, take­ her to the hospital urgently. Ensure­ she drinks lots of fluids and rests.

My 5 year old baby is suffering from unprotectable coughing at night while sleeping please help me.. how to control her cough.. she is unable to sleep continuously for 5 minutes

Female | 5

It seems your child is having trouble with nighttime coughing, which can be tough for both of you. This coughing might be due to throat or chest irritation. You can try using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, giving her warm drinks like water or herbal tea before bed, and slightly elevating her head while she sleeps. These steps may help reduce the coughing.

From and up to what age is chickenpox healthy for children?

Female | 25

Chickenpox is generally more common in children and is often considered a childhood disease. It's most commonly seen in children aged 1 to 12 years. In many cases, getting chickenpox during childhood leads to immunity, meaning that a person is less likely to get it again later in life. However, chickenpox can affect individuals of any age, including adults.

My 9 year old kid ate mold cake by mistake. What should we do? Do we want to take him to the hospital? Not showing any symptoms now .

Male | 9

Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.

Hi Doctor My son born on 4/5/19.Now he is not speaking properly.He is tell what we say he will not answer.Remaning and all its OK. Please give me suggestions Doctor

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.

A monkey scratched a breastfeeding mother. To prevent infection, keep the area clean, as redness, swelling, and pain may develop. If the cut hasn't healed, avoid breastfeeding from that side. Use warm compresses, and if it doesn’t improve, consult a doctor.

Male | 3

Giving Cremaze­n Plus, meant for adults, to a three-ye­ar-old child instead of Gelusil MPS could lead to issue­s. Side effects like­ feeling slee­py, puzzled, and an upset tummy are possible­. The mix-up arose because­ these medicine­s treat varying stomach problems. To correct this, e­nsure the proper me­dication is given next time.
