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.
I started her formula(lactogen 30ml)as part of bottle training on Tuesday(24/03) till sunday i was giving her 30 ml in day sometimes twice 60ml she was fine till Sunday afternoon, but i had spicy food on Saturday evening. From sunday after she started pooping 3-4 times a day now its 3 day she still poop for 6 times not full mostly less many times. Poop is light pale yellow semi watery with some lumpy seeds . What should I do although she is playful feeding welll fully active .
Should I continue formula ? Or any medicine?
My baby turns 6 months next week and we are stuck in a cycle of contact sleeping. Until 3 months, he slept independently in his cot. Now, he only sleeps while being held or hugged.
If we transfer him to his bed, he wakes instantly or lasts 30–60 minutes max. If held, he naps for 2 hours. His max total sleep is 12–13 hours with the help of contact naps or sleeping and last week it hit 8–10 hours when we tried forcing the bed. He is a very light sleeper, and we are now unable to do anything else during the day or night.
How can we transition him back to his own surface without him losing sleep? We are exhausted and need a sustainable plan.
He didn't have any sleeping schedule currently. Till feb he had a schedule with 2-3 nights waking for feed but he used to get back to sleep. But now sometimes he gets up and stays awake for 2-3 hours.
