Why Does My 9-Day-Old Daughter Have Head Swelling?

Hi , I just found out that my daughter has swelling on her right side of head, is it normal? She's been born on 7 dec 9 days ago, she came to the world by normal delivery. Her swelling is soft and not painful when touching, its size is almost 1 inch approx , her feeding is good, and she doesn't have any coughing or fever . She has jaundice with yellow eyes. I am so worried let me know please.

Answered on 16th Dec '24

The swelling, in newborns, can sometimes be normal, particularly when it is not very thick and does not cause any discomfort. This could be because the baby is not lying in the best position or that they have a small fluid collection. On the other hand, jaundice is very common in babies, which means that babies should be observed all the time. I suggest you discuss the matter with your child's pediatrician and get a full examination to exclude any possible health concerns and get specialized advice.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

My son 9 yrs old. He does competitive swimming. In last Feb, after xray doctor has told that he has 50% enlargement of adenoid. He allowed to do swimming. Child suffer cold almost once every month. Today also we checked thru endoscopy. It is still 50% as per doctor. Should we continue swimming or we need to stop..we need second opinion

Male | 9

Sometimes having enlarged adenoids can make them more susceptible to cold. Perhaps swimming is a factor that irritates his adenoids. It is important to ensure his health is not sacrificed for his swimming hobby. I suggest giving a short break to him swimming and observing whether his adenoids get better. This might help him get less affected by cold.

Mere 10 days ka new born baby hai I have rehumatiod arthritis kya mai use breastfeeding krwa skti hun ese use koi health issues toh nhi hoga?

Female | 25

Rheumatoid arthritis does not harm your baby through breast milk. It's a kind of autoimmune disease that has joint pain and swelling issues. You are not giving your baby the disease through breastfeeding. Following your care regime as your doctor indicated is essential. Only if otherwise told by the doctor of medications that are not suitable to take during breastfeeding.

My son is a year old and he fell during the night and bit the inside of his lower lip. He was bleeding but I managed to stop it, now it is swollen. I am scared, what can I do? I gave him painamol syrup for kids.

Male | 1

Your son has a common lip bite injury. Swelling is normal and should go down in a few days. To help with this, gently press a cold compress on the outside of his lip. Painamol can be effective for the pain. Keep an eye on him to ensure he can still eat and drink comfortably.

Hi, I have 7 month old baby girl which is suffering due to liver and spleen enlargement. She is not gaining the proper weight and also have diagnosed the tuberculosis.

Female | 7

An e­nlarged liver and splee­n, coupled with poor weight gain and tuberculosis, pre­sents a challenging situation. The symptoms you de­scribed are indee­d worrying. Organ enlargement can ste­m from infectious diseases like­ tuberculosis. It's crucial to adhere to your doctor's guidance­ for appropriate treatment and close­ monitoring, ensuring your child's re­covery and well-being.

Male | 19 months

At 19 months old, earaches, redde­ned ears, and wounds signal this issue. Many small kids ge­t such infections from viruses or bacteria spre­ad by colds. You can help by using ear drops from your doctor and kee­ping him feel comfortable. His discomfort should ease­ with tender care and prope­r medicine.
