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?

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.

This means that the child could have low muscle tone i.e. hypotonia which could be an indication of brain damage. Other examples include delays in learning new tactics and staying strong like rolling and crawling. It's crucial to get a pediatrician's advice to get the optimal treatment

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). Get them moving often with things other than walking too- muscle strength is important! Enough sleep each night will help their bodies grow well too.

Can I Switch to Cow Milk for 2-Month-Old Baby?
My baby girl is of 2 months and i want to leave a formula milk and want to start a cow milk can i do this and there is no any side effect of this milk?

At two months old, babies should be fed only breastmilk or formula. Cow milk can be too much for their stomachs, resulting in problems such as stomach pains and anaemia. It is important to consult with the pediatrician before making any changes.

Is 13-Year-Old's Vomiting, Stomach Pain, and Headache Serious?
Son 13 year old vomiting pain on stomach and headache
Dr. Samrat Jankar
Surgical Gastroenterologist
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.
