What is the best treatment for the flu for kids?
If it is diagnosed by a physician (flu diagnostic test positive), he could be treated by anti-viral medications within 2 days of onset of fever (may be three), which may shorten the course of symptoms by 3-5 days. Otherwise, rest, fever control, and hydration should be provided. Kadan Sau, MD READ MORE
How long should you stay home with the flu?
This is an unusual time for flu infection. It should be safe enough for him to contact others after being fever-free without fever medications for 48 hours. Thank you, Kadan Sau, MD READ MORE
Should you let a fever run its course?
In a 10 Y.O., you can watch his fever for three days only if he is eating/drinking fairly, voiding well and does not have any ready explanation for fever, e.g., exposure to certain illnesses and it stays below 103* F. You should still place a call to his physician. READ MORE

Is the cause of ADHD known?
There are/is no known definitive cause of ADHD. Many factors have been linked as associated links to ADHD, but trying to link them causally to ADHD has failed. Most young patients with the condition carry many of the same or somewhat altered manifestations in adulthood. READ MORE
My daughter has asthma and wants to start playing basketball. Is it a good idea?
There is no reason for her not to play basketball. She should be under control for her Asthma, and be possibly on an inhaled corticosteroids and may have to take a short acting beta-agonist inhaler, e.g., Albuterol (Pro-Air, Proventil, etc.) about 30 mins. before the game. If she is short of breath during the game, she should stop and seek medical advice. It all depends on the current state of severity and control of her asthma. READ MORE
Should I be worried about my daughter's weight?
What %tile is she. Is her ht. similar %tile. Have they been following the same growth chart curve line. Any recent drop in Wt. If yes to 2nd and 3rd and no to last questions, then nothing to worry, unless she is below the 3rd %tile. Also if her puberty comes as expected-somewhat dependent on your own onset-. it might give her a boost. READ MORE

My 2 year old daughter has been detected with scabies and medication doesn't look like it's helping yet. What should I do?
Scabies treatment is simple and effective. The commonly prescribed medication usually takes one application. The bumps may continue to itch for several more days, but will quickly subside. I guess either the diagnosis or the treatment is in error. READ MORE
Until how many years should a child be given Polio vaccines?
Polio vac. series is usually completed at 4-5 yrs. of age. A booster dose is recommended if visiting a country where the polio virus is currently circulating. READ MORE
My baby is in her rolling phase. However she didn’t roll for an entire day. Is everything okay?
It most definitely is of no concern. We grown ups similarly do not do all the things we are expected to do daily. READ MORE
My 1 month old baby sleeps for long hours and even doesn’t wake up for feeds unless woken up. Is it normal?
A month baby may sleep 12-18 hrs/day. He will cry when he is hungry. As he gets older, his awake/sleep ratio gets better. So, most likely, what you are experiencing is quite normal. But I would nudge him to alertness and nurse if he is sleeping more than 6 hours during daytime. READ MORE
My son who is 3 weeks old was born with small eyes. Is that a problem?
Your statement of your son having "small eyes" can be very relative. To see if it is of concern, one must examine him personally. His pediatrician should be the first evaluator. READ MORE
Are over-the-counter cough medications safe?
Not only they are not safe, they simply do not help. They may make the child drowsy, have dry mucosa if they have pseudoephedrine(sudafed) for decongestion and camouflage certain symptoms helpful in diagnosis. Also, certain coughs are desirable as it helps expectorate or helps in diagnosis. READ MORE
