Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.

Why does my 4-year-old snore loudly at night?
I have a son who is 4 yrs he snore so loudly at night what could be the issue
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 28th Oct '24
It is quite common for kids to snore, however, when it is loud, it may be a hint of a health problem. Snoring mainly occurs when the airflow to your son's lungs is obstructed while he is asleep. This condition can occur because of enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, or simply anatomy. Sometimes it may lead to poor quality of sleep. To assist, consider making his room cooler, keeping his bed clean, and if you're worried, talking to a pediatrician.

Why Can't I See My 12-Year-Old Daughter's Weight?
My 12 year old daughter weighs 145 pounds but you can’t see it
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 28th Oct '24
It's important to understand that a person's external appearance doesn't always reflect their actual weight. Often, excess weight can be hidden within the body, which may result from a lack of physical activity or consuming unhealthy foods. This hidden weight can lead to issues like fatigue, breathing difficulties, or joint pain. To address this, it's advisable to eat healthy foods, stay active, and consult a doctor for guidance.

Your daughter seems to be struggling with a persistent cough, especially during playtime and with sudden weather changes. Considering her history of lung infections, the pneumococcal vaccination might be a good option. This vaccine helps protect against bacteria that can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia, supporting her lung health. Please check with her pediatrician to see if she is eligible for the vaccine.

What should I do if my daughter was bitten by a dog tick?
My daughter was bit by a dog tick what should I do I cleaned the area
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 25th Oct '24
Dog ticks are a nuisance. Watch for the signs you see: blood, itchiness, and a bump on the skin. Ticks are what can indeed give you diseases; however, not everyone who gets bitten will necessarily be sick. The best outcome you had was to wipe the area with a cloth. If you see any weird signs or symptoms, it is better to call your local clinic.

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.

Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.

What should I do if my baby swallowed a piece of wood?
My baby boy is 1.1 year old. He swallowed a small wooden piece. Please kindly suggest me what to do.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 18th Oct '24
If your little boy swallowed a small piece of wood and is not showing any symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, or choking, it can be assumed that he will pass it through his stool without any problems. Just make sure to check his poop to see that the piece comes out. Nonetheless, if he exhibits any signs of distress or if the piece does not pass within a few days, it is advisable to seek medical advice as early as possible.

Is Whitish Uvula in Newborn Baby Girl Normal?

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 15th Oct '24
A whitish uvula in newborns is perfectly normal, which is the small dangly thing that hangs in the back of the throat. This can be caused by the buildup of milk or mucus. If your baby is not having any issues with breathing or feeding, then there is usually no reason to worry. Simply after it. If your baby is having trouble breathing or feeding, get in touch with a pediatrician.

Why is my 4-year-old urinating pink?
My 4 year baby is urinating pink colour urine since morning Although there is no pain or itching. Is it due to food she had consumed last night pink colour fringes, pink strawberry pastry or is it something concerning?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 14th Oct '24
The kind of pink pee that a child could have could be caused by things like eating too many pink strawberries or consuming food with dyes. Nonetheless, if your baby is not suffering from pain or itching, it is most likely nothing serious. Suggest your child drink more water to eliminate any objects that may be coloring their urine. If the pink doesn't go away, or if any other symptoms come up, it's wise to consult a pediatrician.

Is Baby's Neck Pulse Normally Visible While Sleeping Sideways?
Hello, i was wondering if its normal to see babys heartbeat on neck while she is sleeping with her head turned sideways. Its not hard, but its visible. She is healthy and growing like she should. She is 8months.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 11th Oct '24
It looks completely natural to see your daughter's heartbeat on her neck while she sleeps on her side. Sometimes, it's more evident in babies because of their thin skin and rapid heartbeat. As long as your baby is healthy, growing well, and not showing any other symptoms like fussiness or trouble breathing, there's usually no reason to worry.
