This is a query I would like a pediatrician to answer. First of all let me congratulate the people behind this site. This is a wonderful concept. I wish you guys all the very best. My son is 2 years and 6 months old. From his 3 months he has been a respiratory tract patient. He had been admitted to hospitals 3 times with wheezing so far. this was till he was about 1year and 6 months old. He has since not had a single episode of wheezing. from the age of 1 year and 6 months till about 5 months back he had been well without any problems. All his vaccines have been given on time. For the past 5 months he has been having one ailment or the other every month. Usually it is respiratory tract infections. The whole thing started off with typhoid ( Salmonella 300 titre H and O) about 4-5 months back. he was treated with Taxim o for 21 days. he showed negative after the treatment. After this every month he has Cold , Cough and Fever. the latest being episode of Voimiting and Diahorrea 5 days back followed by cough. Which is under control now ( except the cough). Oral Rehydration was given. Vomistop stopped vomiting and diahorrea treated with Normetrogyl. One more days course left for normetrogyl. Lacto B given along with Normetrogyl to retain normal flora. What are the ways to improve his immunity? Are there ways to stop these recurrent infections and the use of antibiotics? are these recurrent infections because of joining him in a play school ( play school is 4 months old).

I have a four year old son who is in JK. I am aware that most children pick up many things while at school but it seems as though he has been sit for most of his year. He is now congested sounding, and is vomiting up a combination of clear and yellow fluids/mucus looking substance (no fever or diahrrea or cough). He had these same symptoms in the beginning of January, with the combinaton of a harsh cough, and we were told he had bronchitis and prescribed some milky, orange, antibiotic which he wound up having a reaction to. We discontinued the use of this and he wound up getting better on his own. Now that he has this again, with the exception of the cough, I don't know if I should take him back in to the Doc or leave him to get better on own? Please help Check Out the Answer

Sirs, My son is 5yrs and suffers from constant nasal congestion and sniffs constantly. Antihistamines seem to make it worse, and decongestants work well. He was tested for allergy's at age 3 1/2 and came up _0_.. However I have found if I let him eat nuts his congestion is worse, also he developed a dislike for milk and most milk products. He will eat pudding and cheese. His adnoids are normal, except when he has an infection which is often. The doctors do not seem to know what to do. Can you provide me with any info on what tests we could try so we can figure out his problem. Thank You Check Out the Answer

My son aged 7 yrs started developing rashes some 6 months back on his hands and legs. Initially there were 2 to 3 on his hands and later it developed in his legs also. The doctor intially suggested its insect bite and gave some ointment to apply. The rashes then started getting opened up as the child scrached it and started getting wet. Then he was shown to a skin specialist who suggested that as his grandmother has asthma it could be a variant of that and gave liquid paraffin to apply, as the weather out here is dry and a cortisone ointment to apply for 10 days. The rashes came under control after this treatment. But after we stopped the cortisone ointment it again started appearing on the same points as small puss pointsall over the rash area. What is this problem and what is the permenant cure to it? Check Out the Answer
