Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd Sept '24
If your child's fever doesn't go away after two days, it might indicate their body is fighting an infection. Besides a high temperature, they may feel tired, have a headache, and lose their appetite. Ensure they stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consider using children's acetaminophen or ibuprofen as directed. If the fever lasts more than a few days or other concerning symptoms appear, contact your pediatrician.

It's important to consult an ear, nose, and throat specialist for evaluation and treatment. Additionally, ensure your child sleeps in a comfortable position with the right pillows. Don't ignore this issue—talk to a pediatrician to help your child sleep better.

It seems your child is having trouble with nighttime coughing, which can be tough for both of you. This coughing might be due to throat or chest irritation. You can try using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, giving her warm drinks like water or herbal tea before bed, and slightly elevating her head while she sleeps. These steps may help reduce the coughing.

Could my 8-year-old's symptoms indicate zinc deficiency?

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 19th Sept '24
The white spots on his nails and the skin under them looking detached could be signs of a zinc deficiency. These things can occur when our bodies don't get enough zinc. You can give him a syrup that contains zinc, but you must be cautious about the appropriate amount. Always stick to the recommended dose on the bottle. Eating foods like meat, nuts, and seeds will also further help his zinc levels. And it's always a good idea to check with a pediatrician if everything is fine.

Answered on 18th Sept '24
The fever and hot head might indicate an infection, while the vomiting and stomach ache could be from the medication. Let's switch to a different antibiotic and add probiotics to ease the stomach issues. Keep offering light, bland foods like crackers, bananas, and rice. If symptoms don't improve or get worse, further tests may be needed.

Common illnesses in teens: What to expect
Hi there, I just have a quick question that my 13 year old daughter asked me and I wasn’t sure what the answer was
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 14th Sept '24
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts suddenly. Eating rapidly, carbonated beverages or excitement may trigger hiccups. Typically, hiccups stop by themselves but try deep breathing or sipping water if persistent. Hiccups are little noises our bodies make, sometimes cute. They usually resolve on their own, but lasting ones need attention. Deep breaths help relax the diaphragm, while water soothes throat spasms causing hiccups.

A temperature of 102 degrees can be accompanied by a feeling of heat and general malaise. Cools down the heated body with the Air Conditioning. Rather, outfit them in airy clothes, provide them with fluids to help hydrate, and administer them some fever-reducing medicine if a doctor suggests it. Regularly check their body temperature and watch for any alarming symptoms. If you are in doubt or if the fever does not go away, consult a pediatrician.
