It is a kind of cancer in the body's lymph system. The lymph system fights germs. Some signs can be swollen lymph nodes, fever, losing weight, and fatigue. Why it happens is not known for sure. But it may be from genes or a weak immune system. To treat it, people get chemo, radiation therapy, or surgery sometimes. Going to an oncologist will make a good plan for your daughter. Talk to them and ask any questions.

How can I help my 7-month-old with chesty cough?
I have a 7 month old with a very chesty cough for the last 5/6 days and now it’s making her throw up and gag when she has a coughing fit. She also is really struggling to cough up the phlegm and I’m scared she’s going to choke on it when she tries to as she struggles so much to clear it. How do I help her?

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 is my 1-year-old having painful, red diarrhoea?

Answered on 2nd May '24
He may have loose, watery poo called diarrhea. His red bottom likely stems from irritation caused by frequent bathroom visits. Viruses or bad food can trigger this condition. Keep him hydrated with plenty of fluids like water or electrolyte drinks formulated for infants experiencing diarrhea. Apply diaper rash cream to soothe the redness. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician right away for proper care advice.

Why is my son's nipple red and inverted?
My 14 month old son developed a red nipple last Saturday. Since then the redness has gone down. However still a noticable difference from the other nipple. It is also going inverted and coming back out. He was not born with inverted nipples.

Answered on 2nd May '24
It is great that differences have been spotted in your son's nipple. This could be due to moments of redness and inversions whenever irritations or infections set in. It is quite necessary to stick around. If the condition persists or grows more severe, the best alternative would be to seek further evaluation and advice from a pediatrician.

My 22 Months old baby boy have minor blood spot in potty. Is this harmfull?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 2nd May '24
This can happen for a few things. He might have pooped hard and that caused some very small cuts. Or he could have a minor sickness. Make sure he drinks lots of water. Give him food with lots of fiber like apples and carrots. If the blood spots do not go away soon, or if he acts sick, take him to see a pediatrician.

Why does my 1-year-old have painful diarrhea with redness?

The loose poop you talked about is called diarrhea. Tummy bugs or foods he can't digest well could be the cause. The red area around his bottom is likely from frequent pooping which can irritate the skin. Make sure he drinks lots of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. You can also put a barrier cream on the red area to protect his skin. If the diarrhea keeps happening, it's best to take him to a pediatrician for a check-up.

Why does my child swell when stopping medicine?
We are giving medicine from last four 4 years from qualified doctors of pakistan dr noreen akhtar but the child swelled when she leaves the medicine for a month.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 29th Apr '24
Swelling after stopping medicine could show edema, a condition where fluid builds up. This happens because the body adjusts to medicine, then responds when it's removed suddenly. Many reasons like heart or kidney problems can cause edema. Doctors slowly reduce doses to avoid reactions like swelling. It's crucial to talk with your doctor about this concern.

Why does my one-month-old groan, moan, and struggle?
My one month daughter struggles with constipation and reflux and but constantly groans and moans all the time. Even when she's sleeping she constantly brings her feet up and moves around. She also cries a lot like she's in a lot of discomfort. Her moaning is persistent and if she goes quiet she squeaks really loud like she's struggling to breath.

When a baby moans and groans, it could indicate gastroesophageal reflux. This condition involves stomach contents traveling up the esophagus. You may notice crying, struggling to breathe, and general discomfort. Consult your pediatrician regarding potential treatments.

Seems your infant has trouble: constipation, reflux. The groans, moans, leg-lifts, cries - signs of discomfort. That loud squeak when breathing - concerning. Perhaps gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) - causes pain, swallowing issues. Best to see a pediatrician; they can diagnose, suggest treatments.

How much ml of water and formula milk should be given in the hole day to 11months baby
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 24th Apr '24
Your 11-month-old requires around 750-900 ml of water and formula daily. If they don't consume enough, signs could appear as fussiness, lack of weight gain, and fewer wet diapers. This helps maintain proper hydration and satisfaction levels. If you have concerns, consult your pediatrician promptly for guidance.

Can My 12-Year-Old Son Work Normally?

Answered on 24th Apr '24
Your son might face muscular weakness, making activities challenging. Weak muscles lack sufficient strength, often from lack of exercise or proper nutrition. However, a healthcare provider's guidance, exercises, and balanced diet can gradually improve muscle strength. Encourage active lifestyle and nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains for muscle growth.

Cetrizine treats allergies. Amitriptyline helps with conditions like depression. Kids shouldn't take them together though. The mix could make them feel sleepy, confused, and have a fast heartbeat. Talk to your doctor instead of mixing these medicines for your daughter.

Baby's nature is very aggressive and angry....what should I do.???
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd Apr '24
If your baby acts aggressive or angry often, it may relate to hunger, fatigue, or illness. Soothe your upset baby by feeding, changing, and cuddling them. Establish calm surroundings and routines to ease their emotions. Patience and attentiveness are important.
