Why is my 5-year-old not gaining weight?
My daughter is 5.3 years old. Her weight is 14.4kg and height -110cm. She hardly feels hungry and since more than 1 year her weight has not increased. She just wants to play and while with friends forgets to eat and drink. In fact since 2 months, there's bit white spot in her face. She doesn't listen/ follow any elderly soon. Can say bit stubborn and sometimes if we donot listen to her, she will cry and try to snatch/hit too.

In this case, her eating habits. Over a proper diet and acne-like problems, though can be infections of the milder kind. Quiet time with regular meals and snacks can help. Offering small but attractive portions and ensuring a welcoming eating environment can promote the children's successful nutrition. After you are ready, could you take a step and involve a pediatrician to consider possible links between her behavioral manifestations and diagnostic tests? The method you take to guide her is critical in enabling her to be healthier.

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.

7 year old daughter had a fall on Saturday and cut the back of her head. She needed staples which will be removed tomorrow. Doctor said to monitor for any signs of head trauma within first 24 hours. She did not vomit, pass out, or have any pupil dilation when it occured. Doctor didn’t even check during visit. No issues within the 24 hour period and nothing since. Questions is, would she be able to participate in her soccer game with her team as goalie?
Female | 7
It's great to hear your daughter has shown no signs of head trauma after her fall. However, given that she had staples placed in her head, it’s best to avoid any physical activities like soccer until the wound has fully healed and the staples are removed. Please consult with her pediatrician or the doctor who treated her to get personalized advice on when she can safely return to sports.

My daughter was bit by a dog tick what should I do I cleaned the area
Female | 5
Dog ticks are a nuisance. Watch for the signs you see: blood, itchiness, and a bump on the skin. Ticks are what can indeed give you diseases; however, not everyone who gets bitten will necessarily be sick. The best outcome you had was to wipe the area with a cloth. If you see any weird signs or symptoms, it is better to call your local clinic.

Can a little boy can eat egg if he is suffering from urine infection or release blood after unine
Male | 6
Young boys with urinary tract infections or hematuria should avoid eggs. Egg consumption aggravates bladder irritation, and worsening symptoms. The signs include pain during urination, frequent bathroom trips, and pinkish-reddish urine. Hydration and fruits/veggies aid recovery, helping the body combat the infection. Symptoms like painful urination, increased urinary frequency, and discolored urine indicate the condition. .

Male | 8
I advise you to take your child to a doctor. Based on proper evaluation and diagnosis, the doctor will be able to determine whether the problem faced is due some underlying medical issue such as food intolerance, infection or some other reason. Based on that, treatment may be suggested which may include certain dietary and lifestyle changes, medications etc.

How much ml of water and formula milk should be given in the hole day to 11months baby
Male | 11 months
Your 11-month-old requires around 750-900 ml of water and formula daily. If they don't consume enough, signs could appear as fussiness, lack of weight gain, and fewer wet diapers. This helps maintain proper hydration and satisfaction levels. If you have concerns, consult your pediatrician promptly for guidance.

Lingering symptoms happen after recovery. Her body clears infection leftovers. Keep hydrating her. Use a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relief. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issues; seek help if worsening. Otherwise, she'll recover gradually.

My daughter laughs all day and can't concentrate
Female | 17
Lots of laughter can indicate other problems. Kids may laugh excessively to hide stress or anxiety. Speak candidly with your daughter about her feelings. You may need counseling to manage emotions better. Early intervention helps kids feel better faster. Note laughter and concentration difficulties. These signs could signify deeper issues needing attention.

My baby belly has bloated and it is hard from 5 days How long does it will be
Female | 1
The reason for this could be constipation, gas, or an infection. If the baby experiences other symptoms like being moody, not eating well, or being fussy more than usual, you should immediately visit a pediatrician. Additionally, light tummy massages and practicing a bicycle motion with the baby can work as an aid in relieving discomfort.

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.

Male | 4
Kids often don't have an appetite and get sick. This can happen when they're growing up fast. Infections, bad food choices, or even stress might cause it. Make sure your son eats healthy stuff like fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Little meals and snacks work better than big ones sometimes. He needs water and rest too. If it keeps happening, talk to the doctor about what's going on and what to do next.

My 10 month old daughter poops after every feed..wether I give her milk or banana or cerelac...she poops after eating or drinking anything...pls suggest something
Female | 10 month old
It's usual for newborns to poop after eating, yet a consistent movement with a loose or watery content could indicate a sensitive stomach. The probable cause of this might be a certain food in its diet that is not serving well to her. Your food diary can point you in the right direction by showing you the link between her reaction to food and food consumption. It will be worthwhile to discuss this with a pediatrician, who will reassure you about its healthiness and help you figure out ways to get rid of it if there is any malaise. Make sure your child gets enough fluids and give her foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice and bananas.

Fever and teething can make babies shaky. Sometimes, fever can be a symptom of an infection. Ensure that your baby gets enough fluids and be sure to give them plenty of sleep.

Bacche ko us jagh par kaffi dard hota h or bo kaise teekh hoga
Male | 2 month
It's common to see swelling in the place where a baby gets a vaccine. Since ice packs bring down swelling and diminish the pain, they are advantageous. Long-time application of the ice pack might have resulted in redness. It's all right. However, apply it for a few minutes only next time. It usually happens on its own. If your baby is in a lot of pain, you can give them infant pain relief.
