Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is always painful to lose a loved one. Your symptoms are suggestive of an acute grief reaction to the loss of your dad. Grief causes significant emotional distress for some weeks, but usually, you will heal gradually with support from family and friends. To clarify, did you experience any emotional problems or mental health issues before your dad passed away? In that case, the grief can be more intense and prolonged, and you may need professional support like bereavement counseling.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Tics are relatively common and experienced by many people. If you are having both motor and vocal tics that are persistent for more than a year, it becomes a chronic tic disorder- commonly referred to as Tourette's syndrome. How old are you now? At what age did these tics start? Tics are usually more prominent when you are feeling tired or stressed. I will advise consulting with your doctor for a full assessment (physical causes may need to be ruled out in some situations).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I think you are referring to plagiocephaly when you say your son has a flat head on one side. It is quite common. As the baby's skull is soft and spends most of their time lying on their back, it becomes flattened on one side due to repeated pressure by sleeping on one side. In most babies, it is not a major issue, and the head shape will improve by itself over time when the babies start rolling over and moving around.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your boy was likely frightened by the anesthetic experience while having dental surgery a month ago. As the boy's grandparents continue to support him, he will gradually overcome the fear of dark anxiety and will be able to sleep in his own bed again. Apart from this specific fear, is he otherwise ok? Is he worried about his mother's health? Have you spoken to the young boy's parents about his recent fear of the dark and anxiety sleeping alone? You can try some strategies to alleviate his fear to an extent. You can leave a small light switched on in his bedroom or leave his door slightly open with the light switched on in the corridor.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. Loose motion (diarrhea) is a common problem in young kids.
