Don't stress if your 20-month-old hasn't pooped for 6 days but seems okay. Constipation is normal for kids. You're right to offer more liquids. Water, prune juice, pears are good options. Whole grains, veggies, beans may also assist. Keep her active. If she still doesn't poop after trying these, it's wise to see a pediatrician.

Worried about giving budecort and easybreath together? That combo could potentially lead to some side effects for your baby.

Variations exist when kids develop speech skills. If speaking challenges arise with your son, potential reasons could be hearing issues, developmental delays, or simply taking more time. I suggest seeking a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a speech therapist. They'll provide insight into nurturing his speech progress.

Why can't my 3-year-old stand after walking?
The baby is 3 years old…he walked all the way back from church and all of a sudden can’t seem to stand placing his hands on his knees crying
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd July '24
Kids sometimes grow fast. During this, leg muscles can't stretch enough. This causes Osgood-Schlatter disease near the knees. Pain strikes after lots of walking or running. Recommend that the child take breaks, put ice packs on knees, and take acetaminophen pills. If the agony continues, visit a pediatrician soon. They'll examine and advise further treatment if required.

Babies sometimes vomit too much food. Perhaps your little one ate quickly or had a slight illness. Keep giving small sips to prevent dehydration. However, constant vomiting needs medical attention. Reach out to a pediatrician if vomiting persists to get advice and proper care.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.

Answered on 2nd July '24
It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

Kids often have abundant energy, appearing hyperactive. Hyperactivity manifests as restlessness, distractibility, or excessive talkativeness. Genetics or environment can contribute to this. Ensure your child engages in ample physical activity, consumes nutritious food, and follows a consistent sleep schedule.

Good morning everyone I need advise please. Sihle was playing in the lounge doing mini handstands then she fell on her mouth and I heard screaming.

I need to know will it grow again once her adult teeth come in cause it came out with the root
Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 2nd July '24
When a baby tooth dislodges along with its root, it usually doesn't regrow. However, there's no need to be afraid. In due course, adult teeth will replace the missing one. Meanwhile, monitor for any discomfort or infection signs. Maintain oral hygiene and provide soft edibles. If worried, consulting a dentist ensures all is well.

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd July '24
Taking different medicines together requires caution to prevent issues. Genalben and Finallerg syrup serve distinct purposes. While Genalben addresses certain health conditions, Finallerg syrup treats allergies. Combining them may lead to side effects such as dizziness, confusion, or upset stomach. To ensure safety, it's crucial to consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medication or modifying existing ones.

I understand your concern about your son's health. Since he has been suffering from typhoid fever for 15 days and is not improving despite medication, it's advisable to follow your doctor's advice for hospital admission. Hospitalization will ensure he receives proper monitoring, intravenous fluids, and medications to fight the infection effectively. Please continue to follow the guidance of the pediatrician or the specialist managing his case.

Weight fluctuations during adolescence are normal. Gaining from 53 kgs at 12 to 71 kgs at 15 is expected. As teens grow taller and their bodies change, weight gain comes naturally. Maintain a balanced diet and stay active. If worried, talk to a pediatrician for reassurance.

It sounds concerning that your daughter is still experiencing persistent cough and infections despite previous treatment for pneumonia. It's important to consult a pediatric pulmonologist. They can assess her symptoms thoroughly, consider other possible causes, and recommend appropriate treatment to manage her condition effectively. Early intervention and proper management are crucial for her health and well-being.

Children sometimes struggle with talking. Other times, speech delays signal an issue. Two main reasons: Slow speech development or a disorder. But don't worry, you can help. Engage him through reading, games, and chatting. Gently nudge more vocalizations. If problems persist, a speech therapist provides custom exercises.

Your daughter may be experiencing developmental and sensory challenges that could benefit from evaluation by a pediatric neurologist or pediatric ophthalmologist. These specialists can assess her vision, behavior, and developmental milestones to provide a clear understanding of her needs.
