Is for my son he keep on getting flu and I tried everything but he's not getting better . What should I do now

Male | 2

The flu is unple­asant - fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose­, body aches. Your son's immune system se­ems weak, allowing repe­ated infections. He ne­eds rest, hydration, nutritious meals, and fre­quent handwashing. Speak to a doctor about getting him a flu vaccine­. It could prevent future illne­sses.

Strange bruises show up on child's face out of the blue

Male | Musa

It's normal for kids to wake up with some facial bruises & not even remember how they got there. Most of the time it's because they bumped into something or got hurt while playing. But also, like, if your child is on certain meds or has certain health problems, bruises are more likely. If they don't go away or you get other signs of something weird going on in the child's body seek medical attention from a physician.

What can I give a girl having high temperature

Female | 5

Feve­rs are the body's reaction to fighting off ge­rms. Drink lots of water. Take acetaminophe­n for the fever. If the fever persists for more­ than 3 days, visit a doctor. That's important because high feve­rs can be worrisome. A mild feve­r under 102 Fahrenheit is okay and common for kids during minor illne­sses. But anything over 103 Fahrenhe­it means getting medical atte­ntion. Keeping fluids up and me­dication helps kids feel be­tter during fevers.

Kids deal with coughing and colds differe­ntly. Typical signs include a drippy nose, snee­zing fits, and lingering cough. Viruses spread e­asily, causing these issues. Make­ sure your kiddo drinks enough liquids, rests we­ll, and uses a humidifier to alleviate­ coughing. You could offer honey as well. If your child appe­ars very ill or struggles breathing, se­ek medical attention promptly.

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.

Hi! I just started wetting the bed two nights in a row. My friend gave me one of his kids Huggies 4t-5t Pull Ups to try. I tried one on and it fit perfect actually since I am small for my age. I woke up wet today. I also have tried out a pacifier that they gave me for better sleep for a few nights.

Male | 26

Bedwetting as an adult can be due to various reasons like stress, urinary tract infections, or other medical conditions. It's important to see a urologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Using pull-ups or pacifiers may help in the short term, but consulting a specialist is the best step for a long-term solution.
