Question 2

will liquid omnicef (cefdinir) cause my five month old to have a black tongue?

Accepted Answer

Colored tongue: Impossible to answer without complete history. Discoloration of the tongue can be from many causes-often the color of a liquid or food. It is often caused by yeast also. When some one is on antibiotics the oral flora changes - bacteria is less, yeast increase; bacteria can also cause color changes. Some diseases, variants may cause changes. See a specialist in oral disease-trained in oral medicine.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: Take her to her pediatrician to be evaluated and to find the cause of fever so be treated.

Question 4

i gave my 9 month old a liquid glycerin suppository like his doctor told me to but he spotted a little blood while trying to poop. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Anal fissure: The appearance of any bright red blood in poo is an indication of a scratch/fissure near the outlet. It is usually found laying on the outside of the poo. Dark red/purple would indicate it came from higher up. This finding is common in infants who have harder or bulkier poops.It self heals.

Question 5

my 5 month old has diaherra i have not introduced any new baby food in over a week. should i suspend formula for now? what liquids can i give her inst

Accepted Answer

Don't panic: Most diarrhea is due to a virus, short lived and not terribly impactful. Occasionally after a bad stomach virus, kids can become temporarily lactose intolerant, so pedialyte is a good alternative for 1-2 days. However, for mild to moderate diarrhea, formula supplemented with pedialyte is fine. If vomiting or having high fever, consult your pediatrician.

Question 6

some yellow liquid is coming out of my 5 month old's ear.. what could that be?

Accepted Answer

Infection or ear wax: Not too hard to tell the difference.  Ear wax is a sticky wax like substance and your baby is usually feeling just fine.  With and ear infection in someone as young a 5 months, they are usually fussy, have a fever, or have other symptoms too.  There are other rare conditions but if your baby is feeling fine, it is not likely anything serious.  Hope all is well!

Question 7

can i use the vapor steam liquid medication inside the warm steam vaporizer to clear my 5 month old chest congestion? or should i use plain water.

Accepted Answer

Plain water: Please don't put the vapor steam liquid in the water... It will keep the vaporizer operating longer if you put the liquid in the cup next to where the steam comes out, rather than in the water.

Question 8

this is for pediatrician.
my child is 5 month old and a white liquid coming out from his belly button. this is happening since 2 months but after doctors medication it gets normal. it repeat again after stopping medication. belly is reddish sollown?

Accepted Answer

Worrisome: There is a chance this is simply infected. There are also rare instances where a remnant of what formed the bladder has a tract exiting this site. I would ask his doc if he has a persistent urachis or to make sure that is not present.

Question 9

my 1.5 month old baby, ebf, has been spitting up clear liquid for the last 4 days(3x/day)and now coughing like 3-4x/day and stuffy nose but no fever?

Accepted Answer

URI: It sounds like a cold- use humidifier, elevate the head of the crib or bassinet, and use saline nose drops and suction, especially before feeding.

Question 10
