Pediatric Conditions and Diseases

You should check it out with your doctor, but I'm pretty sure it's possible. I have a friend who has a son who's had asthma since he was under a year old. WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT OUR 5 MONTH OLD DOES HAVE ASTHMA! SHE HAS HAD A CONSTANT COUGH FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BUT NO FEVER! I AM JUST HAPPY THAT WE FOUND OUT BEFORE THINGS GOT REALLY BAD!

This means disease of the kidney cells (nephrons) themselves. It usually implies less than optimal capacity to process waste (such as urinary creatinine).

If the child is using certain medications such as antacids or others containing aluminum hydroxide, this can be the cause. However, if this is not the case, it points to a liver condition, possibly Hepatitis. You should consult with your doctor right away.

TB or tuberculosis is a bacterial infection which spreads through droplets.

The opposite would be acquiescence, obedience, submission, subordination, regard, or respect.

Infantigo is a skin disease caused by bacterial or staph infections. It can be treated using antibiotic creams that a doctor prescribes. The more common name for this disease is impetigo. Bathing in water that has 1 cup of apple cider vinegar will relieve itching symptoms. All household bedding and carpets should be cleaned in hot water.

A bump behind a babyÕs ear may be a lymph node. This may be caused by an infection or some kind of minor illness.

yes, because the basal metabolic rate of a baby is very meaning that the temperature will lead to excess metabolic wastes hence low oxygen concentration.

About 98% is normal, no matter what a person's age is.

The average blood pressure does not vary with age. It is usually around 120/80. I do know what i am talking about for both parents are doctors and I have reecently been sick, so I have had my blood pressure taken many many times and have overheard the average blood pressure many times. So, all though i am only an eleven year old girl, I do know what i am talking about, even if just for this question. I looked it up again, just to double check myself, so i do have the right answer. So a healthy blood pressure would be right around 120/80 for anyone.

yes because there bodies are growing so fast

My son was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder at the age of 20 months. While receiving therapy. He displayed many symptoms of early Autism but no one wanted to put that label on him yet. So about 6 months later, just when we were getting into the swing of things and I was learning everything that i could about his disability when he fell ill with a horrible fever. It was so bad and wouldn't break so I rushed him into the nearest er. Blood tests that were performed came back abnormal and they wanted to check further. More blood tests and a lumbar puncture were to confirm that my son was severely anemic, neutropenic, and needed several blood transfusions. He was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) Almost 3 years later, here we are with only a few more months of chemotherapy to go (he is 5 1/2 years old today) and his school wants to do more evaluations on him since he will start kindergarten next year. His speech issues and sensory problems are getting better, but he remains still very developmentally delayed. His recent evals conclude that my son is on the Autistic spectrum, moderate to severe in some areas. He cannot continue schooling at that school because they do not have all the resources to care for a child that severe. So off to a new school come August of 2011. I am very happy that after all this time, he has finally been diagnosed. But at the same time, I am heart broken once again. Another diagnosis, more therapy. On the bright side, he will be cancer free come July 2011! For such a young boy, he has been though an awful lot, but everything happens for a reason. So to answer your question, I cannot totally answer that. I do know that my son has Autsim and cancer (leukemia) but I am pretty sure that this is very rare as I cannot find any information anywhere on the internet. I cannot find a connection. The only thing I have come up with is that maybe my son has a weak immune system and maybe something triggered both the Autsim and cancer, or maybe made him more prone to both. I guess I will never really know. I hoped I have helped you out somewhat. Take care.

The two are definitely related in my daughter's case. Google NataliesTrekCIC and contact me if you want more info.

There might be some sort of enzyme you're missing. It might be a good idea to figure out what is causing these symptoms since it might be indicative of something else. Most of the time, its something simple, easily remedied and more beneficial to treat the underlying cause.

It could be indicative of a gallbladder issue http://www.drhoffman.com/page.cfm/140

Now, if its a meat allergy, you might find hidden meat allergens in things like marshmallows, candies, ice cream, jello, vaccines (rashes when you get shots?). You could also be allergic to meat, the additives or any number of things. Have you guys tried additive free meat? That might be it.

Do NOT use store bought soap with all its additives and preservatives. Use natural soap with honey, oats and calendula since all those have healing properties like the one we make at lavendersoap.org. What is more is it has shea butter to seal in moisture. My sons eczema is actually the reason we started making soap in the first place. Since we have been using the calendula soap he hasn't had an outbreak and we don't even have to use lotion anymore! Good luck!

You don't know when they are a baby unless the baby is taken to the doctor for an examination. Without a doctor's visit, you would just compare the child to others in school as they get older and in the higher grade levels.

Basically,a virus is a microscopic organism that causes infection and disease. Viral illnesses can range from mild to severe Some examples are the common cold, influenza, polio, smallpox and HIV/AIDS. Viruses are only active in the body outside the body they are just dormant (dead).A virus invades a host cell, switches out the host's genetic code with its own, then uses the cell's equipment and resources to pump out lots and lots of new viruses, which go off and invade other host cells thereby causing diseases.

In summary, viruses can only survive in the body or a blood cell where it can reproduce and spread diseases.

It depends on the cause of the bumps. If you hit your head and got a bump then putting ice on the bump should help it go away. If you are talking about some kinds of growths or pimples then you could use medication that can be found at a drug store or prescribed by your doctor.

It doesnt matter what gender. But for a teen they should get at least 8 hours of sleep. Most get about five ir less.

find a doctor FAST! there might be something wrong with your child. If the doctor says that all is fine, visit one more doctor just in case. but remember that children are tricky, and your little angel could of done something to the terminator as a joke.

Tuberculosis is totally preventable, simply by avoiding contact with those who have been exposed to the disease.

The are also a number of medications that can be prescribed for those who have inadvertently been exposed to tuberculosis.

I think it can come back

Enuresis is a cndition whereby a child who is usually toilet trained will urinate while sleeping and be totally unaware of it. Medical intervention is needed to rectify the problem. You have wet your bed

Thrush is a very common oral lesion at this age - it is actually a fungal infection that arose from intestinal fungi. The most optimal way to combat this entity is to have your pediatrician prescribe Nystatin suspension - he/she will subsequently relay the manner to eliminate the thrush.
