My son had a bath about 3 hours ago and he’s been coughing and was gagging, almost choking. I want to know what i should do
Male | 1
Your little one's coughing fit after bath time may signal some water got into his airways. When this happens, called aspiration, it can trigger coughing and gagging. Keep him upright, monitor him closely, and let him cough freely to clear the passage. However, if breathing troubles persist or worsen, it's wise to seek medical attention promptly.

My son is 1 he has been having diarrhoea but like small pieces off poo and wet but a lot redness around the bum it really hurts him
Male | 1
The loose poop you talked about is called diarrhea. Tummy bugs or foods he can't digest well could be the cause. The red area around his bottom is likely from frequent pooping which can irritate the skin. Make sure he drinks lots of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. You can also put a barrier cream on the red area to protect his skin. If the diarrhea keeps happening, it's best to take him to a pediatrician for a check-up.

2 year old baby birth k Baad Roya nahi tha jis ki waja sy Nazar nahi Ata Bolta nahi hai
Male | 2 year
At this age, some kids may not yet speak or show visual engagement, which can be influenced by various factors, including developmental delays, hearing issues, or environmental factors. I recommend engaging with your child through play and reading, which can promote language skills. Observing if they respond to sounds and movements can also help. However, it’s important to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying issues.

Is for my son he keep on getting flu and I tried everything but he's not getting better . What should I do now
Male | 2
The flu is unpleasant - fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches. Your son's immune system seems weak, allowing repeated infections. He needs rest, hydration, nutritious meals, and frequent handwashing. Speak to a doctor about getting him a flu vaccine. It could prevent future illnesses.

What can I give a girl having high temperature
Female | 5
Fevers are the body's reaction to fighting off germs. Drink lots of water. Take acetaminophen for the fever. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, visit a doctor. That's important because high fevers can be worrisome. A mild fever under 102 Fahrenheit is okay and common for kids during minor illnesses. But anything over 103 Fahrenheit means getting medical attention. Keeping fluids up and medication helps kids feel better during fevers.

Hi there, I just have a quick question that my 13 year old daughter asked me and I wasn’t sure what the answer was
Female | 13
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts suddenly. Eating rapidly, carbonated beverages or excitement may trigger hiccups. Typically, hiccups stop by themselves but try deep breathing or sipping water if persistent. Hiccups are little noises our bodies make, sometimes cute. They usually resolve on their own, but lasting ones need attention. Deep breaths help relax the diaphragm, while water soothes throat spasms causing hiccups.

పురుషుడు | 0
Jaundice in babies can occur when their liver is not working properly. This makes their skin and eyes turn yellow. Sometimes it may cause serious liver failure. You need to take your baby to a hepatologist for proper treatment. The physician may prescribe drugs, suggest changes in diet, or severe cases recommend liver transplantation. Ensure you adhere to what the doctor tells you to help your child feel better.

Your baby's cough for 3 days is concerning. The syrup and drops are helpful for the relief, and cold symptoms. Since your little one is very young, we'll skip adding more medicine right now. Keep your baby comfortable and warm. Offer lots of fluids. Continue using the prescribed meds. If the cough worsens or persists, you can consider an additional medicine. Closely monitor your baby. Follow the medicine instructions carefully.

Female | 7
Taking different medicines together requires caution to prevent issues. Genalben and Finallerg syrup serve distinct purposes. While Genalben addresses certain health conditions, Finallerg syrup treats allergies. Combining them may lead to side effects such as dizziness, confusion, or upset stomach. To ensure safety, it's crucial to consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medication or modifying existing ones.

Being underweight and appearing frail can result from various factors, including poor nutrition, underlying health issues, or stress. Symptoms may include fatigue and lack of energy. To support his health, encourage a well-balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains. Regular meals and snacks can also help. Consider involving a pediatrician for personalized advice and to rule out any medical concerns. Professional guidance is key to ensuring his growth and well-being.

My son accidentally swallows a bipilac tablet
Male | 13
If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.

My baby girl is of 2 months and i want to change the milk i want to leave the formula milk and want to start a cow milk can i do this .is there any side effect of this or not
Female | 0
At 2 months, babies should be given formula milk as their main drink. Cow’s milk lacks important nutrients needed at this stage and can cause issues like indigestion, anemia, or allergies. Stick with formula milk until your baby is about 1 year old. Please talk to your pediatrician for more guidance.
