Can I give my son Azithromycin for seasonal fever?

Azithromycin is an antibiotic that's usually used to treat bacterial infections, not viral ones. Seasonal fevers are often caused by viruses, which don't respond to antibiotics. It's best to consult your healthcare provider before giving any medication to your son. In the meantime, make sure he stays hydrated, gets plenty of rest, and you can use fever-reducing medications like acetaminophen if needed. If his symptoms persist or worsen, definitely reach out to your pediatrician for further guidance.

What should I do if my child swallowed glass?

Most small objects pass through the digestive system without causing harm. However, it's important to keep an eye out for any symptoms like difficulty breathing, vomiting, or abdominal pain. If your child shows any of these signs, please seek medical help from pediatrician. In the meantime, you can encourage your child to eat fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables to help things move along smoothly.

Sometimes not producing sperm at 17 could be due to hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, infections, or even certain medications. It's essential to see a sexologist for a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause. There are treatments available depending on the reason behind it. In the meantime, focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Can we bring daughter with fever and cough now?

These symptoms could be caused by a viral infection like the common cold or flu. Sometimes, allergies or even a bacterial infection could be the culprits too. It's important to keep her comfortable in the meantime by ensuring she gets plenty of rest, drinks lots of fluids, and uses a humidifier to ease her breathing.

Asked for Female | 30 days

Why is my 30-day-old baby vomiting and crying?

At 30 days old, babies can have some digestive issues that might cause vomiting and fussiness. One common reason could be a condition called gastroesophageal reflux, where stomach contents come back up. This can make them uncomfortable and lead to spit-up. The crying before and after urination might indicate a urinary tract issue, which can sometimes cause discomfort or a burning sensation. I recommend keeping a close eye on her symptoms and feeding patterns. It would be best to consult with a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance on how to manage these concerns effectively.

Asked for Female | 15month

Why won't my 15-month-old stop crying at night?

There could be a few reasons why she's crying persistently. It might be due to teething discomfort, a tummy ache, or even just feeling a bit unsettled. One thing you can try is gently comforting and soothing her, maybe with a warm bath or some gentle rocking. If the crying continues or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, like a fever or changes in her breathing, it's best to reach out to your pediatrician for further advice. In the meantime, just being there for her and offering that comfort can go a long way.

Could high fever and throat pain be serious for a 13-year-old girl?

High fever and throat pain could be due to a common viral infection like the flu or a throat infection like strep throat. It's important to rest up, drink plenty of fluids, and maybe try some warm saltwater gargles to help with your throat. I recommend checking in with a pediatrician, who can do a quick exam and maybe some tests to figure out the best way to help you feel better.

Why Am I Experiencing Delayed Milestones Since Birth?

Delayed milestones can be caused by various factors such as genetic conditions, prematurity, infections, or simply individual differences in development. It's important not to worry, as there are steps we can take. I recommend scheduling a visit with a pediatrician or a developmental specialist who can assess your milestones and provide guidance. In fact, early intervention services like physical therapy or speech therapy can be very beneficial.

What should I do if my baby swallowed a piece of wood?

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 my newborn's weight gain normal?

Your little one's weight gain has been a bit of a rollercoaster.In the first few weeks, babies can have quite rapid weight fluctuations, and it's totally normal. Those early days are all about adjusting to feeding and growth spurts. The initial drop in weight could be due to fluid loss after birth, and then the subsequent gains show that your baby is getting the hang of feeding and growing well. As long as your baby seems content, has regular wet diapers, and is feeding well, there's usually nothing to worry about.

Watch him care­fully for other symptoms. If he see­ms unwell, don't hesitate to ge­t medical help.

Does my baby need hospital check after swallowing Strepsils?

It's understandable to feel concerned after your little one ingests a lozenge. Generally, if your child shows no symptoms like difficulty breathing, nausea, or unusual drowsiness, they are likely okay. However, it's always best to be cautious with young children. Monitor for any unusual behaviors or changes. If you feel uncertain or notice any concerning signs, consulting a pediatrician is a wise step. They can provide specific guidance suited to your child's needs.
