Question 1

why is my child vommiting?

Accepted Answer

Can't say: To get the most from this site you need to provide enough background information on the issue that a focused response to any question can be formed. Does the kid have fever? Have you introduced a new food or beverage? Any family with similar symptoms? You are welcome to start over.Posts on this site are not linked so each must have all needed information.

Question 2

what causes fits in a child ?

Accepted Answer

Immature behavior: I assume you refer to temper tantrums.
In young children, tantrums are a very immature  way of expressing frustration, anger and in a way the toddler tries to demonstrate in a very awkward way, independence and will.

Question 3

what are the symtoms of an autautistic child?

Accepted Answer

See below.: Autistic children have problems w/ social interactions (do not emotionally connect or form relationships w/ others), may have communication deficits such as delayed speech, and often engage in repetitive behavior (hand flapping, repeatedly banging toys). Symptoms present before age 3. 70% of children with autism also suffer from mental retardation (iq below 70).

Question 4

what makes a child autistic?

Accepted Answer

No iron clad answer: but there is enough from studies to believe that it derives from a problem in the genes. The severity may depend on the variability of the genes being expressed and to a degree other environmental factors. Knowledge of autism is incomplete at this time so be selective about the quality of information you get. It is best to discuss any questions with your PCP who has access to evidence based info.

Question 5

annyone have a hypersexual child?

Accepted Answer

Not child: When a child exhibits age-inappropriate sexual behavior, it is often due to either adult misinterpretation or sexual abuse. Professional consultation is recommended to clarify the situation and ensure the safety of the child.

Question 6

i suspect that my childmay have rls

Accepted Answer

Rule out underlying: If you think your child has RLS (actually more common than you think), you probably have - this is genetic in many cases.  Ask child to describe and of note, symptoms will only be in evening at rest as opposed to some "other diagnoses" like growing pains or musculoskeletal issues.  See physician to rule out underlying medical issues or medications that are causing and then try the behavioral treat.

Question 7

what is the youngest a child has had migraines?

Accepted Answer

Any age: You can get headaches at any age, the problem with babies and toddlers is they can not verbalize to you. Sometimes they are just cranky, may have episodes of throwing up, shy away from bright lights of become less active. In any event triggers include being over tired, not enough sleep and certain foods to mention a few. If you suspect you child may have migranes, consult a pediatric neurologist.

Question 8

what happens if my child takes amoxicillan that has expired?

Accepted Answer

Won't help: The liquid med begins to break down as soon as water is added but holds its strength for 10-14 days if refrigerated. After expiration it is basically tasty protein shake, with little if any benefit. The same goes for pill products. After expiration any strength of the product is below standards or may be zero.

Question 9

what are the causes of childs cancer?

Accepted Answer

Dumb luck: Except for a few genetic / family syndromes, the vast majority of children's cancers are the result of dumb luck -- random genetic mutations that just happened to be unlucky. None of the statistical blips (power lines, pollution) have held up on real scrutiny, and anyone who blames a parent for their child's cancer is a cruel charlatan. I hope things go well for you, best twishes.

Question 10

should i circumsize or uncircumsize my child?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The latest analysis of all the research demonstrates it is safer to circumsize than not regarding infection, cancer etc.
