Why does my child have high fever and runny nose?
If your child has a very high fever and such symptoms, it is the first thing to understand whether this is an infection, allergy, or for some other reason. If he is also coughing, having a sore throat, or feeling body ache with fever, these may be common viral or bacterial infections. You do not need to worry; you can give him turmeric milk at home, or just water. However, if the fever lasts more than three days, or more symptoms arise, then it's time to take time out to see a pediatrician.

Could neck lumps in my 3-year-old be serious?
Sometimes, small lumps in the neck area are caused by lymph nodes. This is a normal response to viruses or allergies. These swellings occur when the immune system is fighting with the body. Normally such cases will be harmless and will be resolved once the body takes care of itself but it is always best to see a pediatrician to get a thorough checkup done. They may offer you a solution and, if it is needed, the right course of treatment.

How can my son sleep with severe cold & cough?
The fact that your child is unwell, makes your concerns the more reasonable. Symptoms like a runny nose, persistent cough, and difficulty resting can be signs of either a viral infection or allergies. To avoid discomfort, make him stay hydrated and test if the pediatrician's advice to use a humidifier in his room to relax his airways is the best one. A little elevation of his head could also be of some help. Warm fluids like soup or herbal tea are well-liked, mind you. If his condition doesn't improve after several days have passed or worsens, it's advisable to go to the pediatrician for a checkup so that the doctor can decide the best course of treatment and give appropriate advice.

If your kid accidentally takes some Eltroxin, it is the most important thing to watch for any uncommon signs or symptoms including holding up his pulse rate, sudden grumpiness, or any signs of restlessness. An overused amount of it would make the hormone of the thyroid gland unbalanced. The first and best idea you may have is to consult with a pediatrician because the specialist will evaluate the disease and then, if necessary, indicate several laboratories or give recommendations for the treatment. Being calm, and timely care is the key that ensuring his safety.

Why isn't my baby keeping food down?
There might be some side effects such as gastric disturbances or infections from a certain impact on your baby, which we name. Vomiting or feeling weak sometimes happens on account of food or a virus being the cause. It is so important that you make them drink a lot of water so that they may not get dehydrated. Peanut butter or bland foods like khichdi can be offered. But if this situation is getting worse or your baby is getting weaker, then contact a pediatrician right away. Professional advice is necessary for the health of your baby.

What Is Our Baby's HBe Probability?
The risk of the baby carrying the disease goes as follows: 25% chance of inheriting the disease from you, 50% of being a carrier even though the baby will be unaffected, and 25% of being totally okay. Some of these manifestations are tiredness and growth delay in the affected persons. Regular check-ups throughout the pregnancy are important in order to watch over the baby's health. Genetic counseling should be considered among supportive measures taken to fully understand prognosis and know the best treatment options that are available to you. Your doctor should always be consulted before receiving any medical advice to ensure the best care options for your wife and baby. Your early identification will contribute to it.

Why isn't hair growing at age 1 year 3 months?
This is due to the combination of genetics, diet, and underpinning health issues. A possible symptom could be the loss of hair or the presence of very thin hair. A healthy diet that includes vitamins, especially Vitamin D and B, will help. Lastly, the gentle massage of your baby's scalp during his bath can also improve blood circulation. Hair growth in children can be quite different for every child and might need some patience from the parents. In the case of continuous worrying, we suggest that you might want to see a pediatrician or a dermatologist and have a personal chat with them about it.

How much pediatric paracetamol to administer for 6-month-old with fever?
The fever of 101°F can be controlled with paracetamol drops. I guess your daughter is 6 months old. The doctor's manual indicates 10-15 mg per kg of her weight, but since she was not weighed, I am dispensing a general rule or you have to consult your pediatrician for specificity.
The soft bowel movements and fever could be caused by a slight viral infection. Make sure she remains hydrated and keeps up with her usual meals. If you still have symptoms, please visit the doctor.
