Dr. Sulochana Oberai

Dear Lybrate user, It is a very important phase of life for you and your child and I really appreciate the fact that you are seeking professional help regarding the same. Your child might be feeling scare or apprehensive in being with people other than his immediate family. If this is a recent development, there is a probability that something significant has happened or that your child is apprehensive of something bad happening. It is imperative that you talk to your child and ask what exactly is going through his mind, what is he thinking. Make him feel comfortable and secure with your presence and encourage him to speak up what's on his mind. If it still persists, I would advise you to meet a Child Psychologist in person and seek professional help as the professionals are well-trained in dealing with such issues in children. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

You apply a drop of honey on the baby's tongue and then give medicine. You can also give Ascoril syrup and see

No it should not have any harm... Just keep close watch for few days... And also avoid such incidence in future..

A one year old, with severe cough should not be taken lightly. Please have the child reviewed by your doctor again as the baby might need some antibiotic specially if he has fever also. Other wise in mild viral infections, the above mentioned drug are usually enough. I prefer giving paracetamol to a child rather than ibugesic syrup for fever and pain.

Grinding teeth is common in children during teeth erruption tme and goes automatically but some anxiety feer gum and teeth problem may cause this problem that to be taken care.

Bottle feeding is discouraged. Breastfeeding is nectar to baby. Exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months of age thereafter add semi solids like suji kheer Dal khichadi etc. Sound you listen on her breathing maybe due to nostrils block. Instill saline nasal drop in each nostrils 3 to 4 times in a day. If there is no relief, consult pediatrician.

Please wait for another 5 days. The baby should be 45 days old. Diarrhoea (Rotateq/Rotarix and pneumonia vaccines are optional vaccines but it is better to give them.

Best contraceptive is that which suits you and you like. New Copper T is quite good and safe, low oestrogen OCP can be used. Before adopting any contraceptive method, consult Family planing Counselor.

Being thin is not a disease and you check her blood to see if there is any disease by doing blood CBC and TSH and inform me
