Question 1

how to increase apetite in toddlers?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Toddlers are usually picky eaters.  Some days they may eat well, and others not so well.  I would make sure your child is not getting more than 8 ounces of juice in a day, and no more than 24 ounces of milk daily. I would also recommend a 3 meal a day 2 snack a day schedule. In addition, it may take offering a new food 15 times before they try it.

Question 2

what is the effect of too much using of neb. in toddlers? thanks :)

Accepted Answer

Depends: This depends on the med used and whether you should really be going in to the office or ER for care. The most common med will raise the heart rate and blood pressure, which are usually tolerated better in toddlers than adults. When rescue meds do not work at home, call or seek out an advanced level of care.

Question 4

Illness,injury,death: If you want to turn back the clock to the 1700's we can certainly witness the return of whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria and polio within ten years. The frequency of bacterial meningitis will skyrocket along with the brain damage seen even with treatment. Ben franklin was initially skeptical of that newfangled cowpox vaccine but regretted not giving it to his son who died of smallpox.

It's possible.: Although less common than in older kids and adults & harder to diagnose given the less developed communication skills, it's possible for a toddler to have migraines.The youngest patient i ever diagnosed with it was 3 years old.
