My baby boy has acute diarrhea it has been days and he is on antibiotics and the diarrhea is still a lot, how can I help to reduce the diarrhea

Male | 10 months

Diarrhea can be defined as the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. It may be triggering by infections, which are caused by bacteria or viruses, or as the side effects of antibiotics. To help with diarrhea, ensure your baby's fluids are kept up by giving him water or oral rehydration solutions. If not, avoid sugary drinks. Besides them, try to give him other easy-to-digest foods like bananas, applesauce, rice, and toast. If the intestinal disorder lasts, please consult a pediatrician for further treatment.

My newborn has crp level of 39 .After 2 days of antibiotics it decreased to 18. But after another 4 days no changes .it remains 18 only. Is this something to worry about or are Antibiotics are not working anymore

Female | 5 days

Having a CRP level of 18 when a baby is born could mean an infection exists. The antibiotics helped lower it initially, that's good. But if it stays unchanged after more days, we may need to check if the antibiotics are still working properly. Contact your pediatrician if the baby develops fever, gets fussy, struggles with feeding, or has breathing issues. They can guide you on what to do next.

Male | 8

It’s understandable to be concerned about your baby’s cheek injury. Cuts can occur from various sources, including contact with sharp objects. Common symptoms may include redness, swelling, or bleeding in the affected area. It’s essential to clean the wound gently with soap and water. While over-the-counter treatments can help, I recommend consulting a pediatrician for appropriate care and to determine if stitches or special ointments are necessary.

Female | 3

Your girl had seizures caused by fever - febrile convulsions. These simple seizures often last under 15 minutes, don't recur frequently in kids. Family history is common. Fever spikes rapidly increase body temperature, triggering convulsions. Monitor her temperature closely. Follow up with her doctor for proper care.

My baby has small pimple on penis

Male | 2 years

It's quite common for infants to develop small bumps on their skin, including the genital area. These could be caused by factors such as irritation from diapers, a minor infection, or even normal skin changes. Generally, such spots are benign and usually resolve on their own. Maintaining cleanliness and ensuring the area stays dry can aid healing. However, if the bump persists, becomes red or swollen, or if your child appears uncomfortable, it would be wise to consult a pediatrician. They can provide a thorough assessment and ensure everything is alright.

Your son's high fever and cough for 4 days is understandable. The blood test shows inflammation or infection. This could be bacterial, causing the fever and cough.

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.

Test and I am having one baby and how it is turning blue in the night and getting sick.

Male | 23

It's worrisome to see your baby turn blue and get sick. These symptoms can be a warning sign of insufficient oxygen supply, which can be rooted to obstruction of the air pipe or a respiratory problem. Other potential causes are, allergies and the environment. Check if your baby is in a comfortable position and watch out for their breathing. Make the surroundings peaceful and free of smoke. Urgently refer a pediatrician, who can perform a thorough examination and help your child so that they secure their health early. Don't forget the early stage of treatment is essential and, you need not doubt but seek for professional help to be sure that you are doing the right thing with your baby.

Hi , I just found out that my daughter has swelling on her right side of head, is it normal? She's been born on 7 dec 9 days ago, she came to the world by normal delivery. Her swelling is soft and not painful when touching, its size is almost 1 inch approx , her feeding is good, and she doesn't have any coughing or fever . She has jaundice with yellow eyes. I am so worried let me know please.

Female | 9 days

The swelling, in newborns, can sometimes be normal, particularly when it is not very thick and does not cause any discomfort. This could be because the baby is not lying in the best position or that they have a small fluid collection. On the other hand, jaundice is very common in babies, which means that babies should be observed all the time. I suggest you discuss the matter with your child's pediatrician and get a full examination to exclude any possible health concerns and get specialized advice.

It's good that your daughter is responsive and speaks some words. However, not sitting properly or stiffening her legs could indicate developmental issues. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist for a thorough evaluation and guidance on appropriate interventions.
