Why is my child suddenly getting face bruises?
It's normal for kids to wake up with some facial bruises & not even remember how they got there. Most of the time it's because they bumped into something or got hurt while playing. But also, like, if your child is on certain meds or has certain health problems, bruises are more likely. If they don't go away or you get other signs of something weird going on in the child's body seek medical attention from a physician.

Why is my baby belly bloated and hard for 5 days?
The reason for this could be constipation, gas, or an infection. If the baby experiences other symptoms like being moody, not eating well, or being fussy more than usual, you should immediately visit a pediatrician. Additionally, light tummy massages and practicing a bicycle motion with the baby can work as an aid in relieving discomfort.

How can I boost my daughter's height and weight?
Here are some tips for helping your child grow taller and gain weight. Make sure they get different nutrients by eating many kinds of food – not just junk! Specifically, things with protein like milk or eggs; also foods high in calcium (like broccoli) and vitamin D (like salmon). Get them moving often with things other than walking too- muscle strength is important! Enough sleep each night will help their bodies grow well too.

Can breastfeeding mothers safely consume mushroom powder at 7 months?
It is normally safe to consume mushroom powder while breastfeeding, but only in small amounts. If it starts causing your baby to develop a rash, fussiness, or diarrhea after you eat it, stop eating it. The addition of slight amounts of mushroom powder in your diet is safe for your baby. The reality is that all babies are different, and if you observe any changes, it is better to discard them and talk to your child's pediatrician.

Should I worry if my baby lacks a soft spot on his head?
Babies often arrive without the soft spot called a fontanelle. This happens when head bones join early before birth. Generally, it's fine, as long as the baby grows well. Though you'll want to mention it to your pediatrician. They can check that development is on track. If any issues arise, the doctor will advise next steps.

Can jaundice in a 6-month-old lead to liver failure?
Jaundice in babies can occur when their liver is not working properly. This makes their skin and eyes turn yellow. Sometimes it may cause serious liver failure. You need to take your baby to a hepatologist for proper treatment. The physician may prescribe drugs, suggest changes in diet, or severe cases recommend liver transplantation. Ensure you adhere to what the doctor tells you to help your child feel better.

How can I help my 7-month-old with chesty cough?
It appears that the little one has a cough; this sounds chesty. When I say chesty, I mean that he/she has mucus in his/her chest. If not handled well, the kid may struggle to breathe or vomit. The first measure is to give the child plenty of water to drink. Think of installing a humidifier right in his/her bedroom so that the air can be a bit moist. In case things go south and the cough becomes severe, feel free to seek the help of a pediatrician.

Why isn't my 2-year-old peeing after treatment?
Sometimes when they're sick, they might not pee as much because their body is holding onto fluids. As long as she's drinking well and her urine output eventually improves, there's usually no need to worry. Just keep an eye on her symptoms and if you notice any changes or if you're still concerned, don't hesitate to reach out to her pediatrician.

Why won't baby's fever subside despite iron deficiency treatment?
Iron deficiency can weaken the immune system, making it tougher for the body to fight infections, which could be why the fever persists. It's good that the blood test pinpointed this issue. In the meantime, continue giving the prescribed medication and focus on iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and fortified cereals to boost your baby's iron levels. If the fever persists or if you notice any concerning symptoms, it's best to follow up with your pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
