Question 1

Do Blankets Increase fever?

Accepted Answer

Blankets alone can not increase fever, however, during fever it is suggestbale to use light blankets so that heat dissipation can be effective.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my 16-month-old. She started vomiting and then having watery poo a few days ago. On Sunday, she threw up about 5 to 6 times from 6 pm to 10:30 pm, so we gave her 2.5 ml of ondem syrup, and it seemed to stop the vomiting. But on Monday, she started having loose motions pretty soon after eating, like within 15 to 20 minutes, and it happened more than 10 times. By Tuesday, her poo was just watery once, and she seemed okay. But then on Wednesday morning, after breastfeeding, she vomited twice and she's been refusing to eat anything. Plus, she's had more than 8 episodes of watery poo and cries every time she goes. The crying during poo is worrying me. How can I help stop the vomiting and loose stools and maybe get her to eat something? It's been tough seeing her like this.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your baby may be dealing with a stomach infection or digestive upset. Continue giving Ondem syrup for vomiting as needed and focus on keeping her hydrated with oral rehydration solutions (ORS). For the loose motions, avoid dairy and fatty foods, and offer easily digestible foods like boiled rice or plain toast once she feels better. If symptoms persist or worsen, its best to consult her pediatrician.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my 3.5-month-old baby boy. For the past couple of days, his urine has been white, and the analysis shows there's a large amount of amorphous phosphate present. Do you know what might be causing this? Will it gradually get better on its own, or is there something I should be doing about it?

Accepted Answer

Protein in urine (proteinuria) can be concerning.
 
 *Proteinuria Grade:*
 
 4+ indicates severe proteinuria (nephrotic range)

 2. Diabetic nephropathy
 3. Hypertension
 4. Glomerulonephritis
 5. Kidney stones
 6. Urinary tract infection (UTI)
 7. Pregnancy-related issues
 
 *Kidney Failure Risk:*
 
 Severe proteinuria increases kidney failure risk if left untreated.
 
 *Complications:*
 
 1. Nephrotic syndrome
 2. Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
 3. End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
 4. Cardiovascular disease
 
 *Immediate Action:*
 
 1. Consult a nephrologist or urologist.
 2. Complete urine analysis and culture.
 3. Blood tests (renal function, electrolytes, glucose).
 4. Imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan).
 
 *Treatment:*
 
 Depends on underlying cause, may include:
 
 1. Medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs)
 2. Blood pressure control
 3. Diabetes management
 4. Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise)
 5. Dialysis (in severe cases)

I'm really worried about my 4-year-old daughter. Her latest urine test showed pus cells at 25-30 and epithelial cells at 34. About a year and a half ago, she had a mild urinary tract infection. How serious is her current situation? Should I be concerned about these numbers?

PLENTY OF LIQUIDS. ALKALIZER CITRALKA HALF TEASPOON AFTER FOOD WITH WATER. FOR SEVEN TO TEN DAYS. SYR LEVOFLOXACILIN 3.5ml ONCE A DAY. CONSULT A PAEDIATRICIAN.
