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.

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.

Snoring in toddlers is often caused by partially blocked airways, which may result from enlarged tonsils or adenoids. 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.

Answered on 20th Sept '24

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.

From what you say, your son may be experiencing an allergic reaction after swimming. Allergies may be responsible for the symptoms such as itching, rash, sneezing, or difficulty breathing. Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is a medicine for allergies. The initial dosage for your son, who weighs 8 kg, will be 3-4 mL. However, it is always better to seek the advice of a pediatrician before determining the accurate dosage.

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

My son age is 8 but he is just 20 kg And also his nails always have white spots and the skin below the nails are always looks detached Is this deficiency of zinc Can you recommend any zinc syrup

Dr. Babita Goel

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.

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.

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.

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.
