Your child feels unwell, probably due to germs. A fever means their body battles an infection. An illness involves a cough, runny nose and fever. Ensure your child hydrates well and sleeps adequately. Medication, like acetaminophen, can reduce a fever. Should symptoms persist or worsen considerably, consult a pediatrician promptly for professional medical advice.

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 2nd July '24
Your daughter has a 12 mm opening in the wall between the upper chambers of her heart. This opening makes her feel exhausted, lose appetite, and get sick frequently. The opening typically needs closing when she turns 3 to 5 years old. Closing may involve inserting a device or undergoing surgery. Speaking with a heart specialist can help determine the ideal approach for your child.

Will my baby's 2.1cm congenital ASD hole close on its own?
My baby is 21 months old. Doctor suggested to take echo for my baby and congenital ASD hole with size of 2.1cm was diagnosed. Will this hole gets closed automatically or any surgery needed for this?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd July '24
Your baby's health situation seems concerning. The echo test finding a hole, an ASD, is worrisome. This hole doesn't always close naturally as babies grow up. Sometimes, surgery becomes necessary to fix it. Watch for trouble breathing or poor growth as warning signs. Speak to your doctor about the ideal treatment path for your child.

Why does baby get cold when AC is on?
Hi doctor. My baby gets cold often while ac is on but if I switch it off he sweats so much and never sleeps. He starts crying. I don’t know what to do . Please help. Thank you.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd July '24
The situation with your baby seems to involve regulating body heat. With AC on, your little one feels cold. Without AC, they get sweaty. This happens because babies' sweat glands aren't fully developed yet. So their bodies struggle to control their temperature. To help, dress your baby in layers that are easy to remove. Keep the room around 68-72°F. A small fan can gently circulate air without making it too breezy or cold. These simple adjustments should help your baby stay comfortable and sleep soundly.

Answered on 2nd July '24
Your daughter's chest discomfort and throat burning after dinner are concerning. These could indicate acid reflux, when stomach acid rises into the esophagus. Sometimes, antacids aren't enough. Try smaller meals, avoid spicy/acidic foods. Also, elevate her bed's headrest. This may reduce symptoms. If issues persist, consult a cardiologist. They can recommend treatments or evaluate further.

Where to find pediatric dermatologist for Alopecia in Down syndrome?
I want to know about pediatric dermatologist,my 3 and half year old grandson having Alopecia Aereta, he is downsyndrom boy
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd July '24
Your grandson suffers from Alopecia Areata. Hair falls out in circular bald patches. It can impact eyebrows or lashes too. It's harmless but visually concerning. Usually, it occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. But the good news is, hair often regrows naturally over time. To aid regrowth, dermatologists may prescribe steroid injections or creams. Consult a pediatric dermatologist for guidance and optimal treatment options.

Children's leg pain can originate from various causes. Growing pains may occur as muscles and bones expand during development. Physical exertion or minor impacts could also contribute. Gentle massage or a warm bath may alleviate his symptoms. However, if the pain persists or intensifies, consulting your pediatrician would be advisable to ensure no underlying issues.

Why is my 6-year-old coughing badly at night?
My 6 years old son is coughing very badly and unable to sleep. From past 4 to 5 days
Dr. Babita Goel

This could be a common cold or pesky allergies causing the prolonged coughing fit. Hydration and rest are key - make sure he's drinking plenty of water and getting ample sleep. Consider a humidifier for his room; it might just soothe that bothersome cough. However, if the coughing persists or worsens, don't hesitate to consult your pediatrician.

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 2nd July '24
Kids often catch colds. A virus enters their body. This causes fever and runny noses. Rest, fluids, and acetaminophen help. Keep them comfortable. The cold will pass as their immune system fights the virus. Don't worry too much. With care, they'll recover quickly.

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd July '24
Seeing your baby's cough is distressing. Colds or mild infections often cause infant coughing. Babies may also have a runny/stuffy nose. Keep them comfortable, elevating their head for sleeping. Use a bulb syringe to clear nasal congestion. Humidifiers add moisture, easing symptoms. However, if coughing persists or worsens, consult a pediatrician promptly.

These symptoms can be pretty rough for a kid her age. There are a few possible reasons: stress, not enough sleep, or something in her diet. My advice is to take her to see a pediatric neurologist for the headaches, plus a counselor. Getting help from both might be useful.

A 1-year-old might have watery stools for various reasons. It's unlikely related to birth control. It could be a stomach bug or something they ate. Watch for signs of dehydration: dry mouth, no tears when crying. Give your baby more fluids. If watery stools persist, consult your child's pediatrician.

He's breathing through his mouth while sleeping. His eosinophil count is also high. These can point to asthma or allergies. Kids with these conditions often struggle to breathe well. Working closely with a pulmonologist is key. They'll figure out the right meds or strategies to manage allergies.
