My 9 year old kid ate mold cake by mistake. What should we do? Do we want to take him to the hospital? Not showing any symptoms now .

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.

Hy i am 14 year old and i wet the bed please help me
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.

My child age 2 years is diabetes patient and now she has more cough which medication will be useful.
Female | 2
A cough for a 2-year-old with diabetes is concerning. Illnesses can raise blood sugar. Higher levels may worsen the cough. Causes vary – could be a cold or allergies. For now, push fluids and rest. But if it persists or worsens, discuss it with the diabetes care team. They'll advise if child-safe cough medicine is appropriate. Importantly, monitor blood sugar closely during sickness.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?
Female | 33
A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

4 year old took 15ml of zarbees cough medicine. Is there a chance of overdose
Male | 4
Medicine can hurt if not taken properly. Taking too much Zarbee's cough syrup is bad for little kids. If a 4-year-old drinks 15ml, it's more than safe. Overdosing causes sick feeling, throwing up, feeling sleepy, or breathing trouble. Call poison control or visit hospital quickly for help.

Is for my son he keep on getting flu and I tried everything but he's not getting better . What should I do now
Male | 2
The flu is unpleasant - fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches. Your son's immune system seems weak, allowing repeated infections. He needs rest, hydration, nutritious meals, and frequent handwashing. Speak to a doctor about getting him a flu vaccine. It could prevent future illnesses.

My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?
Male | New born baby
Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

Hi. My son has dry cough. In morning I gave him dry syrup by mistake which was made 1 month ago. And its expiry date is 2024.is there any side effects of this?
Male | 6
If your child swallowed dry syrup prepared last month, yet unexpired, it's typically harmless. Expired medications might gradually diminish efficacy but rarely induce illness. Unless your son exhibits nausea, vomiting, rash, or other abnormal symptoms, he'll likely remain unaffected. Monitor him and consult a pediatrician promptly if any concerning signs arise.

Female | 3
It's common for children to have movable lumps due to swollen lymph nodes, which often occur with infections. However, since the lump has persisted for two months, it's important to consult a pediatrician. They can properly assess and provide the best advice for your child's condition.

My 1 year 2 months baby refuse milk and food.. So what to do?
Male | 1year 2 month
Kids often show tantrums and refuse to eat at such times. It could simply be due to teething, illness, or just a temporary phase. Therefore, do not worry, keep changing their foods and wait. You should consult a pediatrician if the child has been refusing to drink milk or eat for more than one or two days.

I 27 month old daughters urine has been smelling very strong lately. It has an overpowering smell of bamboo shoots.
Female | 27 months
Kids may sometimes have stinky pee. Some foods and drinks like asparagus make that happen. But if it constantly smells strong like bamboo shoots, it might mean your child has a urinary infection. Look for other signs like fever or pain peeing. Be sure your daughter stays hydrated by drinking plenty of water. And if that funky smell keeps lingering for days, then it's wise to get her checked out by a urologist.

hi there, i've only now come to realise ive had threadworms for almost all my life - i am 15 and i've probably had them since i was 3 or 4. i want to know what medicine i should be getting to take care of this and can i buy this myself? also will treating this affect my metabolism since i read that these threadworms use glucose to survive so does that mean that's the only thing keeping me skinny?
Female | 15
It's important to treat threadworms with proper medication. You can use over-the-counter medicines like mebendazole or albendazole, which are effective. However, it's best to visit a pediatrician or a general physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Treating threadworms won't significantly affect your metabolism.

The symptoms could mean your brother has trouble with muscles or nerves. This might happen due to muscle issues or nerve problems. Still, a doctor is needed to find the real cause and proper treatment. Meanwhile, help him with healthy foods and exercises he can do. Choose things that don't strain him too much, to uplift his well-being. Watch closely for any changes and quickly see an orhopedist if needed.

My baby girl is of 2 months and i want to leave a formula milk and want to start a cow milk can i do this and there is no any side effect of this milk?
Female | 2
At two months old, babies should be fed only breastmilk or formula. Cow milk can be too much for their stomachs, resulting in problems such as stomach pains and anaemia. It is important to consult with the pediatrician before making any changes.

My Daughter is 2 years 47 days old, she has been struggling with stool passing from last one year. At time she can pass it without any struggle but at times she could not. We have consulted multiple doctors but couldn't get a permanent solution. Everytime we visit a new doctor she starts passing her stool easily for next one or two weeks, but after two weeks the prescribed medications from the doctor stops working and we had to go for another doctor or we have to use Suppositories. We have been struggling with this issue from almost a year and have been using Suppositories or visiting different doctor. Please suggest how this could be fixed, also let us know if this is a serious issue. Will this get fixed with passage of time as my daughter reaches the age of 4 or 5 years. Thank you
Female | 2 years 47 days
Your daughter seems to be going through a challenging phase where she sometimes struggles with passing stool. There could have been various reasons for this like diet, less water intake, or maybe some muscle problems. It is a good thing that you have been taking doctors' advice; however, it is essential to detect the root cause of the problem. You can try giving her fiber-rich foods, like fruits, and veggies, to her and ensure she drinks enough water. Keep in touch with your pediatrician to find the best way to take care of your daughter's discomfort.

Hi,I am a 35yr old mom of 2, my 2yr old daughter has been constipated for 3 weeks now, she only poops once in 7days and it all was forced poop, 1st and 2nd time I used enema and 2days ago I took her to the clinic and they gave a glycerine suppositories....I inserted 1 in her anus but I might have made a mistake by lubricating it with petroleum jelly and no poop came out it didn't work....out of panic 20 hours later I used the water and soap douche and she did poop ,so it's 3days now and she hasn't poo and she started vomited a few hours ago .
Female | 2
In a state when a child does not poop for an extended period, it may bring a feeling of uneasiness and cause vomiting in the child's body. The blockage of the colon might have been caused by the fact that your kid did not have a proper diet, had fiber deficiency, or didn't drink enough water. Give her to eat more fruits, and vegetables, and drink water.
