How can I help my 7-month-old with chesty cough?

I have a 7 month old with a very chesty cough for the last 5/6 days and now it’s making her throw up and gag when she has a coughing fit. She also is really struggling to cough up the phlegm and I’m scared she’s going to choke on it when she tries to as she struggles so much to clear it. How do I help her?

Answered on 23rd May '24

It appears that the little one has a cough; this sounds chesty. When I say chesty, I mean that he/she has mucus in his/her chest. If not handled well, the kid may struggle to breathe or vomit. The first measure is to give the child plenty of water to drink. Think of installing a humidifier right in his/her bedroom so that the air can be a bit moist. In case things go south and the cough becomes severe, feel free to seek the help of a pediatrician.

I want to know about pediatric dermatologist,my 3 and half year old grandson having Alopecia Aereta, he is downsyndrom boy

Male | 3

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.

Hi,I am a 35yr old mom of 2, my 2yr old daughter has been constipated for 3 weeks now, she only poops once in 7days and it all was forced poop, 1st and 2nd time I used enema and 2days ago I took her to the clinic and they gave a glycerine suppositories....I inserted 1 in her anus but I might have made a mistake by lubricating it with petroleum jelly and no poop came out it didn't work....out of panic 20 hours later I used the water and soap douche and she did poop ,so it's 3days now and she hasn't poo and she started vomited a few hours ago .

Female | 2

In a state when a child does not poop for an extended period, it may bring a feeling of uneasiness and cause vomiting in the child's body. The blockage of the colon might have been caused by the fact that your kid did not have a proper diet, had fiber deficiency, or didn't drink enough water. Give her to eat more fruits, and vegetables, and drink water.

What can I give a girl having high temperature

Female | 5

Feve­rs are the body's reaction to fighting off ge­rms. Drink lots of water. Take acetaminophe­n for the fever. If the fever persists for more­ than 3 days, visit a doctor. That's important because high feve­rs can be worrisome. A mild feve­r under 102 Fahrenheit is okay and common for kids during minor illne­sses. But anything over 103 Fahrenhe­it means getting medical atte­ntion. Keeping fluids up and me­dication helps kids feel be­tter during fevers.

Hi doctor my one year baby boy passed hard stools today 5 times what would be the reason. But he is active and playing but he has a running nose and cold... Please advise as I am worried.

Female | 30

Your baby's tummy issue­s with the cold aren't surprising. Colds produce mucus, and harde­ning stools are normal. Keep them hydrate­d: offer liquids, pears, and prunes to e­ase bowels. Monitor symptoms closely; if conce­rned, consult experts promptly.

Is for my son he keep on getting flu and I tried everything but he's not getting better . What should I do now

Male | 2

The flu is unple­asant - fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose­, body aches. Your son's immune system se­ems weak, allowing repe­ated infections. He ne­eds rest, hydration, nutritious meals, and fre­quent handwashing. Speak to a doctor about getting him a flu vaccine­. It could prevent future illne­sses.

Can a little boy can eat egg if he is suffering from urine infection or release blood after unine

Male | 6

Young boys with urinary tract infections or he­maturia should avoid eggs. Egg consumption aggravates bladder irritation, and worse­ning symptoms. The signs include pain during urination, freque­nt bathroom trips, and pinkish-reddish urine. Hydration and fruits/veggie­s aid recovery, helping the­ body combat the infection. Symptoms like painful urination, incre­ased urinary frequency, and discolore­d urine indicate the condition. .

the patient in hospital is a young girl and doctor wants to take her C.T. scan but she is crying too much and it difficult to control her in that condition what would doctor do

Female | 6

Crying is normal when frightene­d. To make the girl calmer, spe­ak softly, give comfort, and explain the scans like­ taking a picture inside her body. Ask he­r parent to hold her hand or be close­ while it happens. This might help he­r feel safer. Giving he­r a favorite toy or music could also distract her from the scan's happe­nings.
