Babies get sick sometimes, it's normal. Your little one's fever, cough and cold likely stem from a virus. That 100-degree fever means her body battles infection. Ensure she rests up, hydrates well. If her doctor says okay, give acetaminophen for fever relief. However, if symptoms drag on or intensify, it's wise to have her pediatrician examine her.

Many parents worry if their child bumps their head. A toddler who's hard to wake after a head injury may indicate a serious issue. Be alert for constant tiredness, throwing up, or pupils that look different sizes. See a pediatrician quickly to be sure all is well. With young kids' head injuries, it's best to get checked rather than risk harm.

Giving Colimax after Metrogyl is usually okay. Metrogyl can sometimes upset the stomach, but Colimax helps soothe gas and discomfort. But check with your doctor about the right dose for your kid. And make sure he chugs lots of water.

Answered on 1st July '24
A fever means the body battles an infection. Kids' bodies can feel hot, then cold as it regulates temperature. Give your child fluids, rest, and fever-reducing medicine like acetaminophen if required. If the fever persists over two days or other worrying symptoms arise, consult a pediatrician promptly.

Has My 12-Year-Old Daughter Stopped Growing?
My daughter is 12.5 years old and 165 cm tall. She already has got her period last year when she was 11. Father is 5 feet 8 inch and mother s height is 5 feet 2 inches. I'm worried if she has stopped growing. Can she get few more inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 1st July '24
Girls her age, 12.5, often keep on growing for some more years. Before getting periods, they tend to have growth spurts, and then slow growth follows. Since your girl had her period at 11, there might be more growing left. Things like her genes, eating well, and being healthy affect growth. Keep encouraging healthy foods, enough sleep, and exercise for her. If worried, chatting with her doctor could help.

Colds or throat infections commonly cause sore throat and coughing. Our body reacts when we're sick. It makes our throats hurt and causes coughing. Give her lots of water, rest, and warm soup. These aid recovery. If she doesn't improve soon, visit a pediatrician.
