Can I give my son worm pills again?
My son is five years old and he has occasional worms. I gave him pills two months ago. If he gets them again, can I give him the pills again?
Dr. Kanchan Jain
General Physician
Answered on 21st Dec '24
Some of the signs covered are itching on the anus, tummy aches, and changes in the appetite. If your child receives the same treatment that was administered two months ago and the same symptoms are present again, it is generally okay to give the standard medication. But it is very important to get the advice from a pediatrician before making any step in this direction. Moreover, with good hygiene manners, like proper handwashing and shorter nails, the chances of re-invading worms are lower.

Answered on 20th Dec '24
It appears that your spouse has antibodies that might be the root cause of a virus like a cold or influenza. Fever, uncomfortable throat, and gastrointestinal distress may all be present simultaneously. Nosebleeds can be caused by nasal congestion or irritation. Besides, give him plenty of fluids and use a humidifier to make him feel better. If the symptoms don’t disappear after a week, they even worsen, or he gets other problems, please make an appointment for him to see a doctor and have a full checkup with subsequent treatment.

Answered on 19th Dec '24
To have worries when someone is sick is a very normal thing. Conditions like colds, which may come with symptoms such as a sore throat and fatigue, could be the reason for the infection, both the common ones and the mild ones. The best cure for it is rest, water, and a diet that provides relevant nutrients. Using a humidifier will savvily ease coughing. If the symptoms do not go or get worse with some other problem, it is reasonable to discuss this health issue with a pediatrician.

What should I do for my baby's cough and runny nose at 1 month?
I have 1 mnth old baby girl she having cough and running nose what should I do
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 19th Dec '24
Infants typically have a slight cough and a runny nose caused by either viral infections or allergies. Keep the child well-hydrated by giving them breast milk or formula very often. Placing a humidifier in the room also helps loosen mucus and thus the baby can breathe easier. Also, saline nasal drops can be used for that purpose, as they are effective in thinning mucus. Whether you have worries or if the symptoms persist, it is better to see a pediatrician. They will advise you on the proper treatment options.

Fast breathing may be due to several reasons, such as nasal congestion or a respiratory infection. The first step in keeping your little one safe is to watch for their discomfort and take your child to a doctor. Satisfy them with enough water and let a vaporizer help them breathe better. However, if rapid breathing persists or gets worse, it is essential to consult a pediatrician.

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.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
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.

What do Trisomy 21 Age & Screening Risks Mean?
What does Trisomy 21 Age Risk 1:223 and Trisomy 21 Screening Risk 1:218 mean?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 14th Dec '24
Down syndrome, also generally known as Trisomy 21, is a condition associated with an additional chromosome 21. and, results in some developmental differences. The ratios you mentioned are actually the chances that a test-based diagnosis of Down syndrome of this kind will prove to be real. On one hand, people sometimes may have specific features and varying symptoms such as developmental delays along with specific physical features, but a lot of them live meaningful lives if assistance is available and many lead scaffolding lives with themselves and among others. It's a good idea to report your findings to a healthcare provider who can offer you his own personal advisories and resources. The programs of the early period of intervention can so much develop and improve one's life, that along with the doctor's consultation, you can think whether the doctor's suggestions you doctor-visit or some other method better for your child are.

How do I help my son limit screen time?
How can I make my son reduce screen time
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 14th Dec '24
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.

What should I do for my child's persistent fever and swollen neck?
I am a mother to a 4yrs old boy He has a swollen neck under his ear with high fever that doesn't go away after taking ovc antibiotics,, please what should I do
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 14th Dec '24
It seems that your son might have an inflammation which is probably related to the lymph nodes or salivary glands and that can make the body part transfer and the temperature of another part rise. Viral infections, bacterial infections, or dental problems are all common reasons. Due to the fact that the antibiotics you got from the drug store have not worked, it’s important to take him to the pediatrician. Who can diagnose and suggest the needful tests or treatments for him.

4-year-old Overdose Risk: 15ml Zarbee's Cough Medicine
4 year old took 15ml of zarbees cough medicine. Is there a chance of overdose
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 13th Dec '24
Medicine can hurt if not taken properly. Taking too much Zarbee's cough syrup is bad for little kids. If a 4-year-old drinks 15ml, it's more than safe. Overdosing causes sick feeling, throwing up, feeling sleepy, or breathing trouble. Call poison control or visit hospital quickly for help.

1 Year Old with RSV: Oxygen Levels Concern at 91%?
I have a 1 year old with RSV and her oxygen level is siting at 91% should I be concerned. It dropped to 87% for a split second then shot back up to 91%. She is breathing 26 breathes per minute.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 13th Dec '24
A 91% oxygen level is slightly low for a one-year-old with RSV. This virus makes breathing harder for babies. The dropping oxygen shows her lungs are struggling. Watch her closely to ensure she's comfortable. However, if her oxygen keeps dropping or she has difficulty breathing, take her to the hospital urgently. Ensure she drinks lots of fluids and rests.

Accidentally took double Loratadine dosage. Is it dangerous?
My brother is 8 years old and he is 25 kg. He take 10mg Loratadine everyday and it has been 8 days since he started taking it. Today he accidentally took 20 mg. First time he took it was 3 hours ago and second time was 40 minutes ago. What can we do? Is it dangerous? We don’t have availability for doctor right now.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 12th Dec '24
Accidentally taking a higher dose of Loratadine can cause symptoms like drowsiness, headache, or fast heartbeat, especially in children. Since your brother took 20 mg instead of 10 mg, it's important to monitor him closely for any unusual symptoms. Try to keep him calm and hydrated. If you notice severe symptoms or you're concerned, please seek immediate medical advice from a pediatrician or visit the nearest hospital for evaluation and guidance.

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.
