Calamine lotion is usually harmless if consumed in small quantities. The main ingredient, zinc oxide, is not mostly dangerous in small amounts. Be on the lookout for any stomach upset like nausea or vomiting. Besides this, ensure she is drinking water to hydrate herself. If she has any troubling indications, get her to the hospital.

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 9th Sept '24
The umbilical cord falling off entirely can take time, and this is normal. It's vital to keep it dry and clean. Normally, the yellow sticky liquid you see is a sign that the wound is healing. Use some warm water and a cotton ball to gently clean the area. If it looks red and swollen or has a bad smell, you should consult a doctor. Yet, you should take the necessary precautions and keep the area clean and dry.

You are doing well by noticing that your son is changing. The need for breathing exercises comes from very different things. Children may experience just like in the case when they are thrilled, angry, or sick. Long breaths don't usually come from autism, so it's a positive thing his symptoms have improved. Try it, but if you're still worried, go to a pediatrician first so they can rule out anything serious.

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 29th Aug '24
Babies usually don't drink much milk but if two days have passed and your baby is 45 days old then you should be concerned. It could be a little tummy ache, not feeling well, or maybe even a sore throat be some reasons for this. You may try to give smaller quantities of milk for a while more often and also make the temperature of the milk no colder than too cold or too hot. If this persists, it would be advisable to see a pediatrician.

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 27th Aug '24
Chickenpox is a frequent illness in kids. The symptoms consist of red itchy spots which form into blisters, fever, and not feeling well. It is caused by a virus called varicella-zoster. The good news is that chickenpox usually will go away by itself in a week or two. Be sure to consume enough fluids and rest. Prevent scarring by scratching the blisters. Inform a grown-up at home so they can help take care of you while you recover.

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 26th Aug '24
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.
