I'm really worried about my daughter. For the past two days, she's been blinking involuntarily, but it only happens when she's watching TV or using her mobile phone. Its not super frequent, yet it's causing some anxiety for us. What could be causing this, and what should we do about it?

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to give my 18-month-old NAN Pro powder stage 4. It just seems like my little one isn't gaining much weight. I've heard that NAN can help with baby weight gain. Is it safe, and could there be any side effects I should know about?
NAN Pro powder stage 4 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. It is specifically formulated for older toddlers. For weight gain in younger children, you can consider using Pediasure. It is a nutritional supplement that can help with weight gain in children. The recommended dosage for Pediasure is 1-2 servings per day, as advised by your pediatrician. Always consult with your child's pediatrician before starting any new supplement.

I'm feeling really concerned about my 3-year-old son after getting his ultrasound results. It says his liver is mildly enlarged but has normal echotexture, with no focal lesion or dilation of intrahepatic biliary channels, and the portal vein and CBD are normal. He seems to have weak stamina and gets tired really quickly. What steps should I take to help him get better or should I be more worried about these symptoms?
Elevated Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) can be a concern, especially with Type 1 diabetes and hyperglycemia. _Causes of elevated MPV:_ 1. _Inflammation_: Chronic inflammation, often seen in diabetes, can increase MPV. 2. _Oxidative stress_: High blood sugar levels can lead to oxidative stress, which may contribute to elevated MPV. 3. _Platelet activation_: Hyperglycemia can activate platelets, leading to increased MPV. _Ways to reduce MPV:_ 1. _Improve blood sugar control_: Tighten your blood sugar control to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. 2. _Increase omega-3 fatty acids_: Omega-3 rich foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help reduce inflammation. 3. _Antioxidant-rich foods_: Consume antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and other fruits and vegetables. 4. _Exercise regularly_: Regular physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. 5. _Consider supplements_: Certain supplements like turmeric, ginger, and vitamin D may help reduce inflammation and MPV. However, consult your doctor before adding any supplements. _Monitor and adjust:_ 1. _Regularly check your MPV_: Monitor your MPV levels regularly to track changes. 2. _Adjust your treatment plan_: Work with your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan as needed to achieve better blood sugar control and reduce MPV.
