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.

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.

Baby 1.5 years old swallowed a bit of baby powder containing talcum. Does this require emergency?

Female | 1

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. Often, no treatment is re­quired. However, if se­rious symptoms like labored breathing or e­xcessive vomiting occur, see­k medical help immediate­ly. In most cases, everything re­solves smoothly.

Hello, i was wondering if its normal to see babys heartbeat on neck while she is sleeping with her head turned sideways. Its not hard, but its visible. She is healthy and growing like she should. She is 8months.

Female | 8 months

It looks completely natural to see your daughter's heartbeat on her neck while she sleeps on her side. Sometimes, it's more evident in babies because of their thin skin and rapid heartbeat. As long as your baby is healthy, growing well, and not showing any other symptoms like fussiness or trouble breathing, there's usually no reason to worry.

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

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!

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.

This is common during the recovery period as the inner muscles are still healing. Eating soft, easy-to-digest foods can help. In most cases, surgery is needed. Support his recovery with a bland diet while his body heals.

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.

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.
