What to do for 5-year-old with persistent fever?
It seems your son is unwell. Fever in children is usually seen along with infections that have germs as the causative agent. The body may bring fever to get rid of these diseases. Be certain that he is well hydrated first, eats nutritious food, and rests accordingly. You should consult a pediatrician if the fever persists.

Should my 9-year-old swim with 50% adenoid enlargement?
Sometimes having enlarged adenoids can make them more susceptible to cold. Perhaps swimming is a factor that irritates his adenoids. It is important to ensure his health is not sacrificed for his swimming hobby. I suggest giving a short break to him swimming and observing whether his adenoids get better. This might help him get less affected by cold.

Is my 1-year-old daughter's poop normal?
Hi there! You are experiencing anxiety about your daughter's poop, aren't you? It is very much understandable then. If her stools have been the same for eight months and she is not gaining weight, it may indicate an issue. Observe the appearance of her stools for any unusual changes that may indicate diarrhea, constipation, or blood in her stool. Consult a pediatrician for proper treatment.

Why is my son underweight with frequent vomiting?
It looks like he has perhaps a problem called "gastrointestinal issues." Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections, food allergies, or stress can cause it. To ease his pain, you can feed him small, frequent meals such as bananas, rice, or applesauce, which are easy on his stomach. Also, don't forget about enough water. You should consult a pediatrician for proper guidance.

Can I Get Admission with Past MMR Immunity Proof?
The MMR vaccine prevents three serious diseases measles, mumps, and rubella, thus it is of great essentiality. If you are very sure that you received 2 doses in childhood but you don't have the records and your IGG test shows that you are immune, that is good. You must get a certificate for your admission to the MS program. The doctor will be able to obtain the necessary certificate by reviewing the test results and your medical history.

Can I Give My 15-Month-Old Spasmonil Tablet?
Giving a 15-month-old baby Spasmonel tablets is dangerous. These pills are not for babies and might bring harm to them. In the case that your baby is having stomach issues or is feeling some kind of discomfort, it's better to use some mild tools such as holding him/her tenderly, giving water, or attempting a warm bath. Get advice from a pediatrician if symptoms do not improve or get worse.

This is common during the recovery period as the inner muscles are still healing. Eating soft, easy-to-digest foods can help. In most cases, surgery is needed. Support his recovery with a bland diet while his body heals.

Why is my baby not eating and crying?
The weight reading as negative may be a sign of a measurement error. The outcome of the LFT test suggests that some of the liver enzyme concentrations are not within the normal range, which might be due to several reasons like infections or liver problems. You should consult a pediatrician.

Why is my baby girl always crossing her legs?
It is not uncommon for babies to move in various ways as they develop. Occasionally, babies may cross their legs and wiggle excessively. The reason for this is that they are usually discovering different body movements. If you have a healthy and happy baby, there should be no reason for you to be worried. Nevertheless, if you find any bizarre symptoms in your baby or your baby seems to be uncomfortable, consulting a pediatrician would be a great idea to be sure that everything is alright.
