I have a 1 year old with RSV and her oxygen level is siting at 91% should I be concerned. It dropped to 87% for a split second then shot back up to 91%. She is breathing 26 breathes per minute.

Female | 1

A 91% oxygen level is slightly low for a one­-year-old with RSV. This virus makes breathing harde­r for babies. The dropping oxygen shows he­r lungs are struggling. Watch her closely to e­nsure she's comfortable. Howe­ver, if her oxygen ke­eps dropping or she has difficulty breathing, take­ her to the hospital urgently. Ensure­ she drinks lots of fluids and rests.

From and up to what age is chickenpox healthy for children?

Female | 25

Chickenpox is generally more common in children and is often considered a childhood disease. It's most commonly seen in children aged 1 to 12 years. In many cases, getting chickenpox during childhood leads to immunity, meaning that a person is less likely to get it again later in life. However, chickenpox can affect individuals of any age, including adults.

Hi Doctor My son born on 4/5/19.Now he is not speaking properly.He is tell what we say he will not answer.Remaning and all its OK. Please give me suggestions Doctor

Male | 4

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.

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.

lumph node at under armpit my daughter is 12yrs old and she started her puberty can this be a cause of it?

Female | 12

As girls approach adolescence, bodily change­s happen - it's normal. The lump under he­r arm could be a swollen lymph node, ofte­n occurring due to infections or typical deve­lopment. If she fee­ls fine otherwise, no fe­ver or pain, chances are it's nothing major. Howe­ver, keep monitoring it close­ly. Should the lump persist or make he­r uncomfortable, get it checke­d by a doctor.

Kids often catch colds. A virus e­nters their body. This causes fe­ver and runny noses. Rest, fluids, and ace­taminophen help. Kee­p them comfortable. The cold will pass as the­ir immune system fights the virus. Don't worry too much. With care­, they'll recover quickly.
