1. My son is 5 and a half months old. There is a small white patch near his left eye from the fourth month till now. Few spots are also seen below his eye lashes. It is slowly spreading.. What could it be? 2. He is sucking his thumb very badly even when his tummy is full. Is there any way to avoid it?

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

1. If you are sure that the patch is since one month (& not since birth) & its increasing, it might be fungal infection of skin. It's advisable to get video consultation with a dermatologist. 2. Thumb sucking is common in this age as a pleasure game. Keep his hands clean, play with him by giving him something to hold instead of you taking his thumb out of his mouth he will take out thumb & try to hold the toy. 2020-05-07 13:59:17

Helo doctor.My daughter is 2 year okd & her height is 78.5 cms.She prefers veg food Doctor please tell which veg foods can help in increasing height .In non veg she likes egg only

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

She is presently growing well (above 90th percentile of height for age). She has potential to get average height of her both parents. Check with your regular paediatrician during growth spurts. Egg is complete protein, so if she likes & tolerates it continue. In veg, you can give her 1 regular bowl of dal daily twice with sprouts alternate day once. Rest she can have everything in meals what you eat. 2020-05-07 14:11:04

mam my kid use to do potty every 3-4 days but dince i gave her rotorious injection sbe is doing motions almost everyday is this any kind of infection or normsl? omjection was given on 28april? or its bcz im eating mangoes everyday as she is on bm only

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

Your kid's age seems to be less than 6months as you have immunized him with vaccine against rotavirus. If he is only breastfed baby, presently accepting orally well & there is no tightness of stomach, no vomiting then continue as it is. Effect of immunization will have its natural course without any problem. Baby generally do not have any trouble due to what mother eats (except certain antibiotics). 2020-05-07 14:18:56

Hello ma'am, my son is going to complete 10 months on 8th May...he is not crawling at all...he can stand with support...but is not sitting up from lying on his back as well...is there a problem with him???

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

If birth history is uneventful, weight & overall growth is normal then milestone of sitting from lying down position is to be achieved ideally. How is he standing with support? By his own or someone makes him stand? It is advisable to get his neuro-developmental assessment done as the surrounding situations normalise. 2020-05-07 14:26:33

Dear Doctor Meri 4 Saal 5 mahine ki Ladki hai uski Haight nahi badrahi hai koi upay Batayiye?

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

If presently her height is somewhere between 98cm-112cm then she is normal for her age. You can wait for her age of growth spurts. Till then regular height, weight charting, balanced diet, playing at outdoor/ground needs to be followed. 2020-05-07 14:32:04

My son is 5 yrs old he is autistic.he flapped his many times a day.specialy when he was exited.how to control his body stimulation?

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

Ideally specialised training of children with autism needs to be done with special teachers. You must be doing this earlier. But during this lockdown period, follow the same at home i.e. the exercises, activities he was doing in special training so that his excess body stimulation is channelised. 2020-05-07 14:39:05

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

Depending upon site & size of hemangioma and age of the baby, sometimes gets reduced. Sometimes it remains as it is (only proportionally increases with the growth of body). You have already consulted n applying the medication. Continue it. 2020-05-07 14:45:54

hello doctor , mera milk starting se hi nhi Sara h , my 3 month complete ho Gaye h m usy cow milk dete hu , m apna milk basant ke liye kya kru

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

You are probably under too much stress since starting. Milk secretion is a reflex action of baby's suckling at your breast. If breasts & Health Drink are normal then just enjoy with your baby. Always take the baby to breast first to feed without thinking about baby gets fully fed or not. If he still cries then give him formula feed. Do not think much just go on breastfeeding & formula feed SOS. 2020-05-07 14:53:14

Hello Doctor My baby is going to complete her 11th month on 13 may ...Her born weight was 3.3kg and now 6.75kg after her 6 months she is not gaining her weight...She is not having food properly since many day's before she was eating everything but now only curd rice she is having... Please suggest me..

Dr Prajakta Kaduskar

Does she have loose motions, vomiting, fever, cold? If not then... You can give her dal-chapati, dal-rice, khichadi, vegetable soup, Dalia/sooji, apple, banana, boild potato, idli etc. Whatever you start with give her the same at same time for 7 days at least. She does not know any tastes... So we have to develop her taste. One day if doesn't eat still do not change food item & time. Started food item need not be discontinued when you add new one. Try this. 2020-05-07 15:03:31
