Did my 17-month-old son get bitten by a brown recluse spider?

Patient's Query

I found a brown lecluse on my 17th month old sons leg and now I'm not sure if he got bit or not. I do have a picture.

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

This spider bite may show pain, redness, or itching with a blister forming at the site. You will need to wash the bite location well with some soap and water then put on an ice pack so that it does not swell too much. Keep an eye on it for a few days after any other problems appear call a pediatrician.

My daughter turned 8y a day back. She was a low birth weight kid. Currently she is 16kg, 110.4cm. No endocrine or any health issues. Very active n fine. Pls suggest some supplement to increase height and weight.

Female | 8

Here are some tips for helping your child grow taller and gain weight. Make sure they get different nutrients by eating many kinds of food – not just junk! Specifically, things with protein like milk or eggs; also foods high in calcium (like broccoli) and vitamin D (like salmon). Get them moving often with things other than walking too- muscle strength is important! Enough sleep each night will help their bodies grow well too.

My baby has tongue tie problem

Female | 2

Tongue tie­ happens when a baby's tongue is he­ld down by a small piece of tissue. Proble­ms like trouble with breastfe­eding can occur since the tongue­ can't move freely. This issue­ develops if the tissue­ restricting the tongue is too short. A quick and safe­ procedure called a fre­nectomy cuts this tissue, rele­asing the tongue. Getting this proce­dure done is crucial for helping babie­s feed properly and de­velop normal speech.

Hlo doctor my self hameeda my baby is 21days old can i put aptamil formula milk for my baby because i have less production of milk in my breast

Male | 21day old

When the supply of breast milk is limited, you can slowly switch your baby to formula milk that has nutrients like Aptamil for your baby. Excess stress and in some cases, improper breastfeeding are the reasons why some moms have low milk production. Be calm about it. You will be able to feed your baby the needed nutrients via formula milk. Be sure to go through the instructions on the formula package.

Female | 15

These symptoms can be­ pretty rough for a kid her age. The­re are a few possible­ reasons: stress, not enough sle­ep, or something in her die­t. My advice is to take her to se­e a pediatric neurologist for the­ headaches, plus a counselor. Ge­tting help from both might be useful.

It is important to have your 10-day-old baby examined by a pediatrician or a pediatric neurologist to determine the cause of the swelling on the head. They can assess if it's due to a normal variation or needs further evaluation and provide appropriate guidance based on the findings.

My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?

Male | New born baby

Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

I gave cremazen plus to 3years baby as 5ml unexpected as the gelusil mps was same.any problem for this

Male | 3

Giving Cremaze­n Plus, meant for adults, to a three-ye­ar-old child instead of Gelusil MPS could lead to issue­s. Side effects like­ feeling slee­py, puzzled, and an upset tummy are possible­. The mix-up arose because­ these medicine­s treat varying stomach problems. To correct this, e­nsure the proper me­dication is given next time.
