I wanted to check regarding my 9-month-old baby boy.
He has been having fever for the past 2 days (since March 31), ranging from 99°F to 101.3°F, coming every 5–6 hours. We have started ibuprofen and antibiotics as advised.
Earlier on March 10, he had a similar episode where his WBC was 24,000 and CRP was 41.9. He was admitted, treated, and after 2 days his WBC reduced to 14,000 and CRP to 14.8, so he was discharged with medicines.
Now again, his reports show WBC 15,000 and CRP 21.6.
Currently, he is active, feeding well, and has no other symptoms like cough, cold, vomiting, or loose motions.
We are concerned about why this is repeating. Could it be an incomplete or new infection? Do we need further tests?
Also, should we admit him again or continue treatment at home?
Kindly guide us.
Thank you.
Hello Doctor,
My child (6 years old) is having chickenpox. Today is the 5th day.
Symptoms:
- Fever, especially at night
- Multiple blisters all over the body and face
- Some blisters appear to have pus
- Child is active at times in the morning, but becomes dull during fever
- Right eyelid is reddish and slightly swollen
We are currently giving Levocet syrup at night for itching. We are also giving coconut water and fruits as per the child’s preference.
Kindly advise:
1. Is this a normal stage or a sign of infection?
2. Do we need any antibiotic ointment or medicine?
3. What care should we follow at this stage?
I am also attaching photos for your reference.
Thank you.
My son had this weird thing happen last time where he has this fast Breathing sound coming from his nose during Aug-Sep. We have shown him to the chest specialist also. We have got X-Ray, Chest CECT, Laryngoscopy, Bronchoscopy done and every report came normal. And suddenly after two months that noise went away.
Now again from today he has a little cold and rubbing his nose. And again we are hearing that fast Breathing and deep breathing sound multiple times. He is playing well and eating well.
Can someone tell what this is and why this is happening?
We have shown him to pediatrics today and there is no congestion. The doctor has prescribed Otrivin P and Alex Junior. These sounds are making me and my wife mad.
We don't know why this keeps coming back and what's the reason?
My seven months old having white patches around mouth which is spreading. Photo is attached , please suggest.
How many days does it take to fade yellow colour from new born eyes, it's been 3 weeks but I can see mild yellow colour in his eyes
