Question 1

what should i do if my one-year old has not experienced height growth in a while?

Accepted Answer

Depends on "while": This will depend on how long a "while" has been. Also, measuring height on a 1 year old can be difficult for some. Height should be measured head to toe with them lying down o exam table or measuring frame. Standing against a wall is unreliable less than 2 years old. Talk with your pediatrician to check your child's growth chart and review their growth velocity.

Question 2

my one year old son was sitting on a ride-on toy and fell forward (from less than his height up) onto his forehead on our concrete floor. he has a welt/bruise forming but was consolable. does he need medical attention immediately?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Any 1yo that is knocked out by a fall should probably be evaluated. It is common to get a bump, vomit x1, &amp; get a headache.If the kid did not loose consciousness&amp; does not start vomiting repeatedly, you can safely monitor him at home.Let him nap/sleep on a normal schedule  &amp; check him out occasionally for signs he vomited in his sleep.Go to the er if something happens that spooks u.

Question 3

what to do if no height growth in 1 year old?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: The general growth of an infant is 10 inches in the first year with a decline to about 3 in the second. Some kids are hard to measure accurately as toddlers.Linear growth is gradual. You list no dates or interval wherein you feel no growth occurred. If true, there may be a medical problem or diet problem as the main factor.These can be determined by your doctor.

Question 4

what to give a one year old for a cough?

Accepted Answer

Vapor and love: There isn't really any medicine that's authorized for that age. Usually best thing is getting the bathroom steamy and sitting in there for half an hour or so. Helps the mucous drain. You can use Vicks (chest only, not on the feet), and nasal saline and suction to remove mucous from the nose. Other cold medicines are, unfortunately, off limits.

Question 5

what is the cause for recurrent fevers in a one year old?

Accepted Answer

Variable: The average 1yo is expected to get 5-7 respiratory viruses /yr and 2-3 diarrhea viruses/yr. These are often set apart buy periods of weeks of good health. A chronic on /off fever lasting days to weeks is usually a sign of a significant problem & needs a full evaluation and testing.

Question 6

what is the frequency of seizures in a one year old?

Accepted Answer

Very rare: Very uncommon. The major cause in a child that age is a reaction to high fevers. These are called febrile seizures. All seizures, however, require medical evaluation.

Question 7

what is considered breathing fast for a one year old?

Accepted Answer

20-30: Usually between 20-30 per minute. If it goes beyond 35 you may want to consult a physician.

Question 8

i have a one year old vomiting curdled milk?

Accepted Answer

Still vomiting?: I hope that your little one is not still vomiting. If so, please call his/her doctor. Milk curdles when it has had some time interacting with stomach acid. Throwing up curdled milk isn't as concerning as why is your baby throwing up. I hope he/she feels better soon.

Question 9

what is considered high fever on a one year old?

Accepted Answer

100.4 F = 38 C: Check out http://www.Aafp.Org/afp/2007/0615/p1805.Html. We tolerate higher temperatures in older children who don't appear "toxic". But younger children bear more involved evaluation since their immune systems aren't mature & they haven't received complete set of vaccinations. However, even healthy appearing children w/102.2 f = 39 c need further evaluation. Btw these temperatures are rectal.

Question 10

If nosebleeds not stoppable, recurrent, or large volume of blood be sure to see pediatrician.
