Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. There can be a few reasons for his ankle pain: 1. Growth pains in addition to calf muscle over-exhaustion can lead to such acute pains during sleep, or sometimes, it may not allow the cold to fall asleep at all. 2. Deficiency of calcium and magnesium, it could be a true deficiency (they are not getting enough of it in food) or it could be due to the sudden growth spurt or exhaustion, where the body’s demands are more than the amount supplied to it.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Stomach ache could mean a lot of things. Since the child cannot be physically examined, all these questions are essential before advising anything. 1. Are there any other symptoms, like vomiting or loss of appetite or loose stools or fever or constipation or burning on urination? 2.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. I went through your description of the symptoms. It indeed seems to be mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The pain is intermittent in this case.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.For normal babies, what we usually prescribe is - breastfeeds ‘on-demand.’ That is, feed the baby only when the baby cries with hunger or cries for milk. Do not attempt to feed by the clock.Normally, babies of this age feed once every two hours, but that does not mean you try feeding at 6-8-10-12 o'clock.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Please mention whether you are sure about the sound arising from the baby's leg. I am asking this because the bone is not calcified in this early stage, and it is usually soft but firm.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. First, let me appreciate you for describing whatever your child has appropriately. As you have said that the baby has just started walking about five months ago, and the problem with balance could be just his learning curve.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Undescended testis occurs due to abnormal testis. It does not grow normally. Testis remained high up at the time of birth can also cause undescended testis. There is an absence of a good environment to grow well.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.According to the report you have sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity), the child has a left-sided undescended testis. It is a common practice to wait until the baby is six months old before operating. There is a small chance that the testis might descend on its own by six months. They usually do not descend after six months, and the risk of that testis becoming nonfunctional if waiting beyond six months is high.
