Breath holding spell: You are describing classical breath holding spell. Although scary, they are seldom serious. All you have to do is to break the crying spell - consoling, and trying not to get in to a situation.

Question 2

washed our 18 month old with dr. bronners unscented mild baby soap and he got a sud in his eye and started crying - we tried to wash it out - eye was slightly red/was crying for 5 minutes but now fine - should we worry about anything permanent?

: Bar soap of any kind, when the suds get in the eye, is so dilute that aside from a bit of stinging, quickly disapates and will cause no harm So don't worry that this happened and you can continue to use that soap.

Question 4

how long can i leave my 2-month-old baby crying without hurting her vocal cord? when cries her face's all red and looks as if she's suffocating?

Accepted Answer

Too young for crying: A 2-month-old baby is still too young to be left crying. Parents should still do all the things they need to do to console the young baby. They should be sure the baby is not too hungry, not too full, not too cold, not too hot, not sick, not wrapped too tightly, and not too lonely. After the baby turns 3 months, parents can start stricter "bedtime" routines, as by then, most babies can be trained.

Question 5

is there a way i can get the redness out of my eyes after i've been crying?

Accepted Answer

Eye drops: As long as redness of eyes is related to crying only (and not connected with allergies, glaucoma etc), you may try any of the otc decongestant eye drops on an "as needed" basis. Delve deeper to find out why you are crying and then hiding it frequently :).

Accepted Answer

Common enough: Penile erection in any male-esp prolonged erection, called priapism-can be very uncomfortable and painful. Common but not as painful in small children.Try to get child to relax by being closely held for comfort and trying to get child's attention on a toy or something else.Also try not to stimulate penis while cleaning him and while changing clothes. Sometimes use of warm water locally may help.

Accepted Answer

See pediatrician...: Sounds like it would be a good idea to have her see her pediatrician today to have the swelling and cause of the fever evaluated.  This is going to require a physical exam.  Hope she feels better soon!
