Why does my 1-year-old have painful diarrhea with redness?
My son is 1 he has been having diarrhoea but like small pieces off poo and wet but a lot redness around the bum it really hurts him
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
The loose poop you talked about is called diarrhea. Tummy bugs or foods he can't digest well could be the cause. The red area around his bottom is likely from frequent pooping which can irritate the skin. Make sure he drinks lots of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. You can also put a barrier cream on the red area to protect his skin. If the diarrhea keeps happening, it's best to take him to a pediatrician for a check-up.

Female | 2
Lingering symptoms happen after recovery. Her body clears infection leftovers. Keep hydrating her. Use a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relief. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issues; seek help if worsening. Otherwise, she'll recover gradually.

I’m worried about my daughters certain movement she’s 2 and half month old
Female | 0
Babies usually have different movements when growing. Your 2.5-month-old daughter may show jerky, shaky motions. Her developing nervous system causes this. These movements normally go away as she ages. Contact your pediatrician if concerned about any signs.

If your son is frequently getting viral infections every month, it's important to consult a pediatrician. They can assess his immune system and overall health to determine if there are underlying causes or preventive measures that can be taken.

Female | 9
A urinary tract infection may be causing your child's symptoms, based on the test results. Pain or discomfort during urination, frequent urges to pee, and feeling unwell are typical signs. The presence of pus cells and elevated CRT levels indicate an infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult a pediatrician for antibiotic treatment, as that's usually recommended. Though short symptoms prevail, antibiotics will likely resolve the issue.

If my son is sick and he was around another sick child that probably has the same cold he has and they started something can my child get worse
Male | 3
Catching a cold is likely if exposed to someone who's sick. Colds come from viruses - tiny germs. Symptoms may include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever sometimes. To help your son recover, ensure he rests well, drinks plenty of fluids, and takes over-the-counter medicine if required.

Hello I have a question my daughter is 5 and doesn't talk much she will grunt cry n throw tantrums when I ask her what's wrong and try to help her she won't communicate with me at all
Female | 5
Your child may be expressing themselves through non-verbal behavior, which could indicate a communication disorder. Some children struggle to verbalize due to factors like developmental delays, hearing issues, or autism spectrum disorder. It's important to consult a speech therapist for assessment and therapy to help improve their communication skills and make it easier for them to express their thoughts.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?
Female | 7
According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

My 2 years old kid having heavy fever, cough and cold, fever is high
Male | 2
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.

Male | 12
Your son might face muscular weakness, making activities challenging. Weak muscles lack sufficient strength, often from lack of exercise or proper nutrition. However, a healthcare provider's guidance, exercises, and balanced diet can gradually improve muscle strength. Encourage active lifestyle and nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains for muscle growth.

Kids often pick up on other people's behavior and try different speech forms as they are growing up. Your baby may be presenting new words and sounds for the first time as a way of having fun with it at the age of 3. It is a usual part of their development thus they are learning to talk. Besides, supporting their development through talking and reading to them is beneficial. Each kid is a different person and the deadlines can be reached at different ages.

It's common for viral infections to cause dysentery with mucous in children. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and may not be needed. Follow your doctor's advice closely. If you have concerns about the medication, discuss them with your pediatrician who can provide the best guidance for your child's condition.

Your baby might be experiencing some tummy irritation along with a regular cold. Vomiting may occur in babies due to the cold. The cold virus can cause the tummy to be agitated and the baby to throw up. To help, you must make sure your baby is drinking enough fluids, preferably in small doses of milk or formula. Monitor their symptoms and if you have any concerns, reach out to a pediatrician.

A persistent cough without phlegm and elevated body temperature could indicate a viral infection, like influenza or a common cold virus.

It's important to get this checked by a pediatric endocrinologist as early breast development in an 8-year-old could be a sign of precocious puberty. Please consult with a specialist to understand the cause and appropriate treatment if needed.

పురుషుడు | 0
Jaundice in babies can occur when their liver is not working properly. This makes their skin and eyes turn yellow. Sometimes it may cause serious liver failure. You need to take your baby to a hepatologist for proper treatment. The physician may prescribe drugs, suggest changes in diet, or severe cases recommend liver transplantation. Ensure you adhere to what the doctor tells you to help your child feel better.

Babies' legs getting stiff is normal. It could be from limited movement, brain/spine problems, or premature birth. Physical therapy exercises help relax the muscles. However, doctors should assess your baby's condition first. Then you'll know the ideal steps to support their development.

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. After running to see why she was crying I then saw her baby top tooth came out with the root I then rinsed her mouth with water. I need to know will it grow again once her adult teeth come in cause it came out with the root
Female | 3
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.
