Question 1

my one year old son checks have been turning rosey red a lot on both sides. whats going on?

Accepted Answer

Possible virus: Rosy red cheeks can mean that your son is hot, or cold, or have a case of atopic dermatitis (eczema) or he could even have a case of fifth’s disease, a viral illness which is characterized by red cheeks and a fine lace like rash on the arms and legs that comes and goes over a few days to a week.  Check in with his doctor if he has any breathing difficulties or fever, or is acting sick.

Question 2

was scratched in the white part of her eye by one year old kitten who is up to date on shots. not bothered by it. eye doctor?

Accepted Answer

Eye scratch: I would recommend visiting your primary physician as you may need an antibiotic eye drop.

Question 3

my six-year-old son has from one year  old many visible small lymph nodes in his neck that appear because he is very thin. one remains larger for many years on the left side of the tonsil when he turns up head. blood tests ok ent ok. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Lymph nodes in the neck &amp; back of the head are often more noticeable because they are not buried within fat or deep tissues. They are generally pea sized at rest &amp; enlarge when working. Skin irritation, URI's, throat infections, etc commonly trigger transient enlargement for weeks at a time.

Question 4

what is hand, foot and mouth disease, its symptoms and how to fix it? the baby boy is 1 year old and he doesn't want to eat or drink. we have to force him and he has at least once a day blow outs of diarrhea. he has a small rash on one side of his mouth a

Accepted Answer

Hand, : Hand, foot, and mouth is a viral disease cause by coxsackievirus.  It often is accompanied by a rash and cold symptoms but the main symptoms are ulcers that can appear anywhere on the body.  In a 1 year old, the most likely location is in the mouth, especially on the tonsils and the back of the throat.  Typically the symptoms last about 4-5 days and treating the discomfort with tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen is reasonable.  Also make sure you are encouraging fluids, even if the appetite is low because it hurts to swallow you want to make sure he is staying hydrated.

Question 5

do i need to sterilize my baby sippy cup he s one year old , i use steam sterilizer to sterilize bottles?

Accepted Answer

Depends on Supply: This is really not necessary if you have a municipal water supply that is regarded as safe. Just wash it with soap in hot water as you wash the other dishes in the household. If you have a well water supply or unsafe water supply this is of course not the case and the cup should be sterilized

Question 6

what shots does my 1 year old require?

Accepted Answer

Depends on situation: If they have followed previous AAP guidelines, the MMR, varicella & polio would be routine. If previous vaccines (DTaP, HIB, PN13, Hep B) were not given, or others are commonly used at your doctor’s office, they would be added.

Question 7

feeding my one year old - first time, what is healthy?

Accepted Answer

Feeding: You want to give a well balanced diet with whole grain carbs, fruits and vegetables just like you eat. Since all the teeth are not in yet you do need to make sure you are giving him/her food that is soft but you can establish good eating habits by avoiding junk foods and teaching your child to like foods that are healthy.

Question 8

can i give my one year old 2.5mg/3ml albruterol sulfate?

Accepted Answer

Check with doc!: Do not give any prescription medication to your child that has not been prescribed by his/her doc!  Please call the doc and check.  If your child is having trouble breathing and you cannot reach the doc, get evaluated at an ER or UC now.

Question 9

one year old want samething and craying what i suposed to do?

Accepted Answer

Crying: Try to distract her attention by offering her a toy or other object she likes.

Question 10

what are the foods that i can't give to my baby before she is one year old?

Accepted Answer

Chocolate& egg white: There are a variety of foods that make no sense in small infants. Popcorn, peanuts etc. Can be inhaled into the lungs by a pre-verbal child & cause recurrent pneumonia. So safety is sometimes an issue. I specifically avoid egg white & chocolate due to a tendency to trigger allergic rxns later. I don't encourage citrus juices either, but more because of their acid nature & excess sugar.
