It's common for children to experience fever, which can stem from infections or other minor illnesses. Difficulty sleeping and fear after medication are understandable responses. Ensure your child stays hydrated and rests. You might want to take a cool bath to help lower the fever. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if he shows signs of dehydration, it’s important to seek medical advice. A pediatrician can provide the best guidance tailored to his needs.

My baby is 21 months old. Doctor suggested to take echo for my baby and congenital ASD hole with size of 2.1cm was diagnosed. Will this hole gets closed automatically or any surgery needed for this?
Female | 2
Your baby's health situation seems concerning. The echo test finding a hole, an ASD, is worrisome. This hole doesn't always close naturally as babies grow up. Sometimes, surgery becomes necessary to fix it. Watch for trouble breathing or poor growth as warning signs. Speak to your doctor about the ideal treatment path for your child.

What should be the height,weight and head circumference of 6 years 7 month old girl
Female | 6
Some studies show 6-year-olds usually grow 110-120 cm. high, while their weight runs 18-26 kilograms, and after the head circumference is between 50-53 cm. If the kid is exceptionally small or big then one may suspect that it is because of her nutrition, genes, or a growth issue. You should control her food, she should get enough rest, and also move. If you have doubts, refer her to a pediatrician.

2 year baby doing vomiting in 2 days
Female | 2
This happens sometimes. Maybe a small bug crept in, or some food didn't sit right. The key is keeping baby hydrated with tiny sips of water or rehydration drinks. Stick to gentle eats like bananas and rice too. But if puking persists, or other concerning signs show up, get that checked by a pediatrician.

My 3 months old baby having loose motion past 3 days...I visit doctor she gave medicines but not working on her...kindly tell me the solution... Novidate syrup Zinc day syrup Ors enterogermina ampoule
Female | 3 months
Diarrhea in infants can result from various factors, including infections or dietary changes. It's essential to maintain hydration with oral rehydration solutions, as they help replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. The medications prescribed, like Novidate and zinc, aim to support recovery. If you don’t see improvement soon, or if your baby shows signs of dehydration (such as reduced urine output or lethargy), please consult your pediatrician again for further evaluation and care.

Hi my 4 months old baby has been having a diarrhea than we took him to the hospital n they prescribed me septrin for the diarrhea n his been overdose his pooping yellow watery, vomiting, skin heating up what should I do?
Male | 4 months
It’s understandable to be concerned about your baby's symptoms. Yellow, watery stools and vomiting can indicate gastrointestinal distress, possibly due to an infection or adverse reaction to medication. Elevated skin temperature may suggest a fever. It's crucial to keep your baby hydrated by offering frequent small sips of oral rehydration solution. Watch for any worsening symptoms, such as blood in stool or increased lethargy. I recommend reaching out to your pediatrician or visiting the hospital again for a thorough assessment.

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.

Male | 3.5
Watery eyes in small babies is common and May be due to immature development of the duct which drains from tear glands in eyes to the nose .
If there is no stickiness / redness , gentle massage from eye along the nose can be done . Breast fed babies and pass all types / colours of stools. Working mothers best option is to express and store breast milk. Additional feeds by formula available over the counter can be given

Male | 8
It’s understandable to be concerned about your baby’s cheek injury. Cuts can occur from various sources, including contact with sharp objects. Common symptoms may include redness, swelling, or bleeding in the affected area. It’s essential to clean the wound gently with soap and water. While over-the-counter treatments can help, I recommend consulting a pediatrician for appropriate care and to determine if stitches or special ointments are necessary.

Monocef O is an antibiotic medicine, while Astha Kind LS helps with asthma symptoms. Giving both without a doctor's advice carries risks: tummy troubles, diarrhea, allergies.

Female | 7
Your daughter's fever, rash, throat pain, cough, and headache suggest a viral illness, possibly influenza. Dehydration causes yellow urine. Ensure she consumes ample fluids and rests well. Administer fever-reducing medicines if necessary. However, seek medical evaluation if symptoms worsen or don't improve, as viruses can sometimes lead to complications.

How can I make my son reduce screen time
Male | 17
To cut your son’s screen time, you start with setting clear rules on its use. Specify the hours you allow your child to watch TV or play computer games, and give preference to such choices as spending time in the open air or reading. Warning signs of screen dependence may be giving attention difficulties in class, sleep disturbances at night, and irascibility. Try to clarify these worries by being frank and direct. Ask him to recommend some creative activities that he might enjoy doing offline. Should these be some issues that are still persisting in spite of your kinds of efforts, you can deal with this situation with the help of a doctor who can give you advice personalized for your kid. This expert could work out a plan for his general wellness while dealing with his screen habits in a moderate manner.

Sometimes babies struggle with digesting mom's milk correctly. Black poop and weakness could signal trouble. Maybe an infection or food intolerance. Try giving smaller, more frequent feedings. If other symptoms show up, seek medical advice. Definitely tell your pediatrician if this issue persists. They can guide next steps.

My baby daughter whose age is 2 years and 10 months got some rashes ( without irritation/itching) two weeks back. Pediatrician recommended atarax, a to z syrup and one dose of ivermectin/albendazole syrup. They decreased for two days and again came on second day. Then he proposed predone syrup. They went away from then. After three to four days further we stopped medication as suggested by pediatrician. Now it is 14th day. Today morning again slight rashes appeared. But not like earlier. Should we wait for two more days so that they reduce themselves or consult a pediatrici dermatologist
Female | 3
The rash has been rightly treated with medications prescribed by the pediatrician. You can wait to see how the rash develops or goes away by itself in a few days
