Answered on 2nd July '24
Weight fluctuations during adolescence are normal. Gaining from 53 kgs at 12 to 71 kgs at 15 is expected. As teens grow taller and their bodies change, weight gain comes naturally. Maintain a balanced diet and stay active. If worried, talk to a pediatrician for reassurance.

Your son's eyes may move uncontrollably, affecting his sight and walking when there's bright light. He may have congenital nystagmus. An eye doctor can examine him thoroughly. They'll suggest proper treatments or aids to help improve your son's vision and walking ability. Addressing this issue early on is crucial for supporting his overall development.

Mere bacche ka jukham 4 din se theek nhi ho raha, kya ye pneumonia ho sakta hai?
Male | 0
A cough lasting 4 days calls for attention. Pneumonia is possible, especially with breathing issues, chest pains, or high fever. This lung infection stems from bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Seek medical care for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Antibiotics may be prescribed if pneumonia is confirmed.

Babies swallowing baby powder with talcum is common. Usually, it's harmless. Sometimes, it causes coughing or choking briefly. Watch for breathing troubles or stomach issues.

Meri beti 3 month ki hai wo lectozen 1 farmula feed p hai pr wo jb potty krti hai to uska colour ekdm mitti jaisa rhta hai kya ye nrml h
Female | 0
When baby formula poops look muddy, it might signal constipation. This happens when poop stays too long in the intestines. Not enough water or concentrated formula could be the cause. Try giving water between feedings or ask the doctor about adjusting the formula. This should help the baby poop comfortably!

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.

I gave cremazen plus to 3years baby as 5ml unexpected as the gelusil mps was same.any problem for this
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.

My 14 month old son developed a red nipple last Saturday. Since then the redness has gone down. However still a noticable difference from the other nipple. It is also going inverted and coming back out. He was not born with inverted nipples.
Male | 14 month
It is great that differences have been spotted in your son's nipple. This could be due to moments of redness and inversions whenever irritations or infections set in. It is quite necessary to stick around. If the condition persists or grows more severe, the best alternative would be to seek further evaluation and advice from a pediatrician.

I'm hive positive when I was pregnant with my daughter she is 18 years old now but she don't know about it is she infected?
Female | 38
Being HIV positive is a major concern, yet it doesn't necessarily mean transmission to your daughter. Daily activities like sharing meals or embracing do not spread HIV. The virus can only transmit via blood, sexual relations, or during childbirth. Getting your daughter tested for HIV will provide certainty. If positive, treatments exist to maintain her health. There's no need for excessive worry; simply encourage her to undergo testing.

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.

Good morning everyone I need advise please. Sihle was playing in the lounge doing mini handstands then she fell on her mouth and I heard screaming. After running to see why she was crying I then saw her baby top tooth came out with the root I then rinsed her mouth with water. I need to know will it grow again once her adult teeth come in cause it came out with the root
Female | 3
When a baby tooth dislodges along with its root, it usually doesn't regrow. However, there's no need to be afraid. In due course, adult teeth will replace the missing one. Meanwhile, monitor for any discomfort or infection signs. Maintain oral hygiene and provide soft edibles. If worried, consulting a dentist ensures all is well.

My baby suffering from fever cough and cold from past 1day and she hve 100 temperature fever.
Female | 1
Babies get sick sometimes, it's normal. Your little one's fever, cough and cold likely stem from a virus. That 100-degree fever means her body battles infection. Ensure she rests up, hydrates well. If her doctor says okay, give acetaminophen for fever relief. However, if symptoms drag on or intensify, it's wise to have her pediatrician examine her.

Hello , My baby is 2 and a half month now. Our pediatrician recommended me to give formula milk for 2 days saying that due to breastfeeding my baby is getting gas. Should I give him formula. From another BEMS doctor always suggest me only breast milk should be given to baby.
Male | 2.5 months
Gas is a common occurrence in babies and can make them quite irritable. When eating, they may swallow air or break down certain nutrients found in breast milk, causing it. To release trapped air more frequently during feeding, try burping your baby often. Additionally, tender tummy massages could also provide relief from gas. If you can, stick with breastfeeding since it’s the best for your baby’s well-being; however, you might want to consider speaking to a pediatrician for further advice.

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.

Female | 14
It's important to ensure you're getting enough nutrition, especially at your age and with regular exercise. Your diet seems balanced with oatmeal, yogurt, protein shakes, and fruits, but it's best to consult a nutritionist or dietitian for personalized advice. They can assess your specific needs and recommend adjustments if necessary.

Female | 0
Babies usually have different movements when growing. Your 2.5-month-old daughter may show jerky, shaky motions. Her developing nervous system causes this. These movements normally go away as she ages. Contact your pediatrician if concerned about any signs.

After breast feeding many times vomits and cold cuff
Female | One month
Many babies puke after lots of feeds if they catch a cold bug. It can bring a runny nose, coughing, sneezy fits. Gulping down too much milk may spark the upchucks. Breaking feeds into smaller gulps, keeping baby upright post-feed may curb puking. If symptoms stick around or worsen, check with your pediatrician.
