Question 1

Hi, my newborn baby was born on 29th Jan, full-term and through normal delivery. Her CRP value came out high (39), and the doctor recommended antibiotics. But she seems to be doing fine and is feeding normally. Do we really need to give her antibiotics? Also, what does the CRP value indicate regarding infection? The blood culture test came back normal. Could you please advise?

Question 2

I have a 14-month-old daughter who has had hot palms and feet since yesterday. Her temperature was 102.3, and now it's around 100. She has 2 teeth and seems to be dealing with sore gums. Could this be because of teething? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

It is possible that your daughter's symptoms are related to teething. To help alleviate her discomfort and reduce her fever, you can give her infant acetaminophen suspension. Consult the medication label or your pediatrician for specific dosing instructions. Additionally, you can provide her with teething toys or a cold washcloth to chew on to help soothe her sore gums. If her symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with her pediatrician for further evaluation.

Question 4

My baby's lips have started turning blackish for the past two days. Shes feeding properly and seems fine otherwise, but shes passing liquid stools. I think it might be due to the heat here. Can you please advise on what might be happening?

Accepted Answer

It's good to hear that your baby is feeding well. Blackish lips can sometimes be due to dehydration or a lack of oxygen, but its important to monitor if this persists. The liquid stools could indeed be due to the heat; keep her well-hydrated, and if the symptoms continue or worsen, Id recommend a pediatricians consultation for a thorough checkup.

Question 5

My 6-month-old baby accidentally ate a corner of paper. I managed to get some out of his mouth, but I'm still worried. What should I do now to make sure he's okay? Should I be concerned or take any specific steps?

Accepted Answer

Minors ingesting minuscule paper pass them through stools. If the child has any sort of choking, gagging, fast breathing please make sure to go to the local paediatrician.

Question 6

I got my baby girl's urine test report, and it says there are 8-10 pus cells per HPF. Is this normal? What's the normal ratio of pus cells in urine for a 5-year-old girl? Should I be worried, or is this something common? How can I treat it?

Accepted Answer

The normal ratio of pus cells in the urine of a 5-year-old girl is usually less than 5 per high power field (HPF). Therefore, 8-10 pus cells per HPF may indicate an infection. While a UTI is not usually dangerous, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent complications such as kidney infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
