How can I help my 7-year-old son breathe better?
He's breathing through his mouth while sleeping. His eosinophil count is also high. These can point to asthma or allergies. Kids with these conditions often struggle to breathe well. Working closely with a pulmonologist is key. They'll figure out the right meds or strategies to manage allergies.

How can I help my toddler poop naturally?
Don't stress if your 20-month-old hasn't pooped for 6 days but seems okay. Constipation is normal for kids. You're right to offer more liquids. Water, prune juice, pears are good options. Whole grains, veggies, beans may also assist. Keep her active. If she still doesn't poop after trying these, it's wise to see a pediatrician.

Why is my 2-year-old not speaking properly?
Variations exist when kids develop speech skills. If speaking challenges arise with your son, potential reasons could be hearing issues, developmental delays, or simply taking more time. I suggest seeking a professional evaluation of his hearing and consulting a speech therapist. They'll provide insight into nurturing his speech progress.

Why can't my 3-year-old stand after walking?
Kids sometimes grow fast. During this, leg muscles can't stretch enough. This causes Osgood-Schlatter disease near the knees. Pain strikes after lots of walking or running. Recommend that the child take breaks, put ice packs on knees, and take acetaminophen pills. If the agony continues, visit a pediatrician soon. They'll examine and advise further treatment if required.

Why is my baby vomiting repeatedly?
Babies sometimes vomit too much food. Perhaps your little one ate quickly or had a slight illness. Keep giving small sips to prevent dehydration. However, constant vomiting needs medical attention. Reach out to a pediatrician if vomiting persists to get advice and proper care.

Hello My 11 year old son started showing covid symptoms on Tuesday August 1st. I tested him Friday August 4th and it was positive. I tested him again this morning and it's still positive. I was wondering if he still needs to quarantine. School is Monday and I dont know if he should go or not.
It's worrying your son caught COVID-19. He needs to stay quarantined, even with a positive test. COVID-19 spreads easily, and symptoms are gone or not. Common signs are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Protecting others means avoiding the spread. So stay home until not contagious.

Will baby tooth with root come back after falling out?
When a baby tooth dislodges along with its root, it usually doesn't regrow. However, there's no need to be afraid. In due course, adult teeth will replace the missing one. Meanwhile, monitor for any discomfort or infection signs. Maintain oral hygiene and provide soft edibles. If worried, consulting a dentist ensures all is well.
