Pediatric Conditions and Diseases

Depends on how long it has gone on, I guess. More than a week and he/she may need an antibiotic for a bacterial infection. My almost 2-year old has had diarrhea for almost a month and they have yet to find anything in any of his four stool samples. He is asymptomatic also, but without a small amt of immodium he would be on his little potty chair all day long. I would hate for you to go through weeks of diarrhea if he needed medicine.

It was born in Arabia and is true not fake,It was even in the news, born this year in 2010......

It really depends on the specific physician. I, for example, usually wear nice pants and a polo shirt at work - I have been a clinical pediatrician for over 25 years. Dome docs prefer a tie. One item children do not like is the notorious white coat. RBB, MD

Take her to a doctor, mother. It may be a cyst that has to be surgically removed.

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is dosed by weight in small children, but for a child that young you should get the express consent from a doctor since it can affect them differently than older children and adults.

An adolescent medicine specialist is a type of pediatrician. They specialize in teenagers, but a normal pediatrician also covers this age range. Basically you switch to an adolescent doctor when you feel you are too old to go to a pediatrician, but are still too young to go to an adult doctor.

If your baby body temperature is 100F and still less than 3 months old you must call the doctor immediately. For babies between 3-6 months you should be worried if it is crossing 102F mark. For babies more than 6 months if the fever sustains for over a day.

Ignaz Semmelweis discovered how to prevent childbirth fever, rather than its specific cause. Although Pasteur's germ theory of disease had not yet been developed, Semmelweis noticed that there was higher mortality from childbirth at the maternity clinic than among births in the street. He concluded that medical students who were conducting autopsies were carrying some unknown cause of disease from the cadavers to the mothers who gave birth. When he insisted that all who attended the childbirths first wash their hands in chlorinated lime, the incidence of childbirth fever was reduced dramatically.

Creatinine-phosphate-kinase is an enzyme found in heart and muscle. Normal blood CPK range is 38-174 units/L

Alice Paul was one who opposed the act. The reason is because she felt that it labeled all women as being mothers. In addition, the American Medical Association also opposed this act, believing that it would bring untrained people into the medical field.

Rheumatism Orarthritis comes in over a hundred different forms . some of them may lead to infection as a result of damage done to the body. or even as a side affect of some of the drugs used, however they are not infections as such.

For my nephew it was hydrocephalus (water on the brain). He was a premie and they said it was probably caused from an injury when he was so small and the head is so sensitive. He had to have a drain tube put in that shunts the fluid from his brain to his stomach. They have to watch that and it will have to be replaced as he grows. Otherwise he is a very bright, normal 3rd grader and all is well. You can find a lot of information by running a search on the word. (Warning, there is another type of hydrocephalus that is much more serious than his, but I believe it is a birth defect that has much different symptoms) Hope this helps

No. The type of shaking in an earthquake is not the same as the type needed to cause shaken baby syndrome.

Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that starts with the letter H.

Baby hives, also called urticaria, can have different causes, including allergic reactions to a food like milk, sunlight exposure, infections, and certain medications. To treat or get rid of hives properly, the cause should first be identified by a doctor. Depending on the specific cause and severity of the symptoms, treatment options can vary from removing the trigger to taking an antihistamine. However, for severe hives that cause anaphylactic shocks, a child requires immediate medical attention.

I'm afraid not, since there is no recorded variability among the severity of the symptoms in the patients who have this disease. The genetic theory lies behind the fact that its based on a partial chromosomal deletion, and the symptoms do not differ, no matter how much was deleted from the chromosome

Teachers can use Erikson's theory of psychosocial stages in many ways. Stages three four and five are main stages that teachers usually focus on. Most elementary and high school teacher's are dealing with students between the ages of 5 and 18, so because of that teachers should also study stage six if they will be teaching students entering the phase of young adulthood, and preschool teachers must brush up on stages one and two because they have students between the ages of 1 and 4 that they have to use Erikson's theory on.

Treatment for Dandy-Walker syndrome typically involves managing symptoms and complications such as hydrocephalus with shunt placement, developmental delays with early intervention services, physical or speech therapy, and monitoring for other associated conditions. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to address specific complications related to the condition.

The heart rate will vary with the child's body temperature. If the child should have a fever, the heart rate may be around 160-180; if not, the usual rate is around 100 beats/minute.

You should replace a digital thermometer when it becomes inaccurate. You should also replace it when it is damaged or cracked.

I'm pretty sure yeast infection is in someones vagina, not under an infant's neck.

If there is loose motions along with blood it may be dysentery. If the child is passing only blood which is bright red in color we have to suspect polyp.

The nasal cavity communicates with the oral cavity behind the soft palate. Normally when we try to swallow the palate moves and closes this gap. In small babies this may not work perfectly and hence there is occasional nasal regurgitation. But frequent nasal regurgitation in babies can be caused by cleft palate.
