When a baby moans and groans, it could indicate gastroesophageal reflux. This condition involves stomach contents traveling up the esophagus. You may notice crying, struggling to breathe, and general discomfort. Consult your pediatrician regarding potential treatments.

Swelling after stopping medicine could show edema, a condition where fluid builds up. This happens because the body adjusts to medicine, then responds when it's removed suddenly. Many reasons like heart or kidney problems can cause edema. Doctors slowly reduce doses to avoid reactions like swelling. It's crucial to talk with your doctor about this concern.

Why does my 1-year-old have painful diarrhea with redness?
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
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

He may have loose, watery poo called diarrhea. His red bottom likely stems from irritation caused by frequent bathroom visits. Viruses or bad food can trigger this condition. Keep him hydrated with plenty of fluids like water or electrolyte drinks formulated for infants experiencing diarrhea. Apply diaper rash cream to soothe the redness. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician right away for proper care advice.

This can happen for a few things. He might have pooped hard and that caused some very small cuts. Or he could have a minor sickness. Make sure he drinks lots of water. Give him food with lots of fiber like apples and carrots. If the blood spots do not go away soon, or if he acts sick, take him to see a pediatrician.

My 14 month old son developed a red nipple last Saturday. Since then the redness has gone down. However still a noticable difference from the other nipple. It is also going inverted and coming back out. He was not born with inverted nipples.

Answered on 23rd May '24
It is great that differences have been spotted in your son's nipple. This could be due to moments of redness and inversions whenever irritations or infections set in. It is quite necessary to stick around. If the condition persists or grows more severe, the best alternative would be to seek further evaluation and advice from a pediatrician.

How can I help my 7-month-old with chesty cough?
I have a 7 month old with a very chesty cough for the last 5/6 days and now it’s making her throw up and gag when she has a coughing fit. She also is really struggling to cough up the phlegm and I’m scared she’s going to choke on it when she tries to as she struggles so much to clear it. How do I help her?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
It appears that the little one has a cough; this sounds chesty. When I say chesty, I mean that he/she has mucus in his/her chest. If not handled well, the kid may struggle to breathe or vomit. The first measure is to give the child plenty of water to drink. Think of installing a humidifier right in his/her bedroom so that the air can be a bit moist. In case things go south and the cough becomes severe, feel free to seek the help of a pediatrician.

Here are some tips for helping your child grow taller and gain weight. Make sure they get different nutrients by eating many kinds of food – not just junk! Specifically, things with protein like milk or eggs; also foods high in calcium (like broccoli) and vitamin D (like salmon).

Dr. Samrat Jankar

Answered on 23rd May '24
The signs of a stomach bug can start with vomiting. Stomach pain and headache are also two other possible symptoms. Often, these bugs are self-limiting and go by themselves, for the time being, ensure he drinks as much as possible to avoid dehydration, and feed him suitable light foods. Should he not feel any better in several days, it's the best option to see a gastroenterologist.
