Good Afternoon Doctor,
Recently , I have conducted some Medical tests for my son who is 7 years and speaking less.
I am enclosing the said test reports here for your kind recommendation for suitable supplements and further advices.
Dear Doctors,
My son has some concerns I'd like your guidance on.
He jerks frequently during sleep and cannot sleep independently. Someone must hold him to sleep, and if left alone he wakes crying within 30 minutes. This started before his eczema diagnosis.
He sleeps in fetal position, is a hot sleeper, sweats heavily and loses fluids at night.
Sleep heart rate is around 100–120 bpm.
Previously seborrheic dermatitis, now atopic dermatitis. Total IgE >2500 with dust mite, fungi and yeast sensitivities.
My questions:
1. Could sleep jerking be neurological or allergy related?
2. Is 100–120 bpm normal during sleep?
3. Is poor sleep worsening his skin?
4. Should we do any tests or scanning?
Thank you.
My 4 months baby has a white patch on his cheek after getting a redness due to insect bite,first it was small after a week it is slightly big
Baby is 2 month 10 days old. Baby had good sleep pattern but for past 3 days the sleep has been disturbed and at night sleeps around 11 or 1 am and then sleeps for about 7-8 hrs with feeds in between. But in Daytime, overall sleep has been reduced to 4-5 hrs. That's also as very short naps like 15 -30 mins sometimes around 1-2 hrs. Baby is well fed, with good urine and stool output. She is active in wake time and only cries when she is unattended and during nights around 8 or 9 pm for the sleep. We have tried dim light and routine sleep place. Her pattern has been changed drastically.
I am concerned about my 3-month-old baby girl’s feeding and urine output. She generally latches well and stays on the breast for a long duration, but after a few minutes of active sucking, she mostly switches to comfort sucking.
Earlier, her diapers used to be very heavy, but recently they have reduced to medium weight. I am worried this may indicate reduced intake.
Additionally, due to warm weather, she sometimes sweats while sleeping if the AC is not on or the room becomes slightly warm.
Please advise if this pattern is normal or if her feeding/hydration needs to be assessed. Also, she has started giving long stretch of sleep at night, sometimes waking up once for feed (4-5 hours) or sometimes she sleep through the night.
Her birth weight was 3245 gms; discharge weight was 3004 gms and as of 23rd April, she weighs 5.2 kgs.
She does have spit up issues; there are days when no spit up will happen and sometimes she will spit 3-4 times after a single feed.
