Should I seek medical help for child's head injury?
Many parents worry if their child bumps their head. A toddler who's hard to wake after a head injury may indicate a serious issue. Be alert for constant tiredness, throwing up, or pupils that look different sizes. See a pediatrician quickly to be sure all is well. With young kids' head injuries, it's best to get checked rather than risk harm.

A fever means the body battles an infection. Kids' bodies can feel hot, then cold as it regulates temperature.

Has My 12-Year-Old Daughter Stopped Growing?
Girls her age, 12.5, often keep on growing for some more years. Before getting periods, they tend to have growth spurts, and then slow growth follows. Since your girl had her period at 11, there might be more growing left. Things like her genes, eating well, and being healthy affect growth. Keep encouraging healthy foods, enough sleep, and exercise for her. If worried, chatting with her doctor could help.

Why is my 6-month-old crying and not pooping?
Babies cry, yet your little one's night-long weeping seems extra troubling. At six months old, no pooping plus fussiness likely signals constipation. Not enough liquids or certain foods might cause this backup. Offering extra water or tenderly rubbing that tiny tummy could provide relief. However, if distress persists, consult a pediatrician.
