Answered on 1st July '24
Some people like you may wet the bed sometimes. Reasons could be sleeping deeply, having a small bladder, or feeling stressed. You can try things to stop it happening. Don't have drinks with caffeine before bed. Make sure you go to the bathroom right before sleeping. Use waterproof sheets on your bed too. It's okay, you don't need to feel embarrassed. Talk about it with a doctor. With some simple changes and time, the bed-wetting can get better.

Lingering symptoms happen after recovery. Her body clears infection leftovers. Keep hydrating her. Use a humidifier, saline drops for mucus relief. Ensure she's comfy. Monitor breathing issues; seek help if worsening. Otherwise, she'll recover gradually.

Male | 9
Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.

My baby is 48 days old but his umbilical cord is not cure yet ,there is yellow sticky fluid is formed
Male | 48days
The umbilical cord falling off entirely can take time, and this is normal. It's vital to keep it dry and clean. Normally, the yellow sticky liquid you see is a sign that the wound is healing. Use some warm water and a cotton ball to gently clean the area. If it looks red and swollen or has a bad smell, you should consult a doctor. Yet, you should take the necessary precautions and keep the area clean and dry.

My son is 3 years 7 months old. He is having ADHD and delayed speech problem. Last month he suffered from hand foot mouth infection but he recovered in few days. After that infection, his nature has changed a lot. He cries without any reason. When he gets up in the morning he cry for almost an hour. In day time also he starts crying at any time and we are unable to understand any reason for that. We try to do all the things which he likes but he only stops crying after 1 to 2 hours. The same problem happens at night also. On some days he wake up at 3-4 am and starts crying and after an hour he stops and then go for sleep. As he does not speak anything we do not understand what problem he is facing. He is also undergoing therapies for ADHD and speech delay. But at therapy centre also he keeps on crying. He was moody earlier also but after HFM infection this crying problem has increased a lot. Pls guide.
Male | 3
It sounds like your son's recent changes in behavior might be linked to his recovery from the hand, foot, and mouth infection. Such infections can sometimes cause lingering discomfort or changes in behavior. Given his ADHD and speech delay, it is crucial to consult with his pediatrician and a child psychiatrist to evaluate any underlying issues. They can provide a thorough assessment and tailor interventions to help manage his symptoms.

What is the reason to my 45 days baby not drinking milk in two days
Male | 1.5 month
Babies usually don't drink much milk but if two days have passed and your baby is 45 days old then you should be concerned. It could be a little tummy ache, not feeling well, or maybe even a sore throat be some reasons for this. You may try to give smaller quantities of milk for a while more often and also make the temperature of the milk no colder than too cold or too hot. If this persists, it would be advisable to see a pediatrician.

Female | 4
Your daughter's low sugar levels are concerning. Kids rarely have low blood sugar without diabetes. Symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, shakiness, or unconsciousness occur. Not eating enough or having another condition causes it. Doctors running tests is wise. Meanwhile, regular meals and snacks stabilize sugar levels.

Female | 9
This arises when the body lacks sufficient oxygen. Coughing often signals infections or allergic reactions. Meanwhile, pale palms suggest low red blood cell count. Ensure your child breathes comfortably and remains calm. However, it's advisable to consult a pediatrician for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment promptly.

This spider bite may show pain, redness, or itching with a blister forming at the site. You will need to wash the bite location well with some soap and water then put on an ice pack so that it does not swell too much. Keep an eye on it for a few days after any other problems appear call a pediatrician.

Male | 14
A lot of kids, even at age 14, go through bedwetting. Your body isn't controlling the bladder yet during sleep hours. Don't fret, most youngsters outgrow this issue eventually. You could try using the bathroom right before bedtime. Skip drinking liquids in the evening hours too. Speak with your doctor for extra advice to fix this.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?
Female | 7
According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.
