Q&A

Answered by Dr. Oliver Roces Chiapco

Why is my baby not sleeping even after taking milk?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your baby's current weight, he really should not be taking more than 50 ml if feeding every two hours or 80 ml if feeding every three hours. Beyond this, the baby may be overfed and might be crying not because he is still hungry but because he is in pain (because his stomach is overstretched). Babies have a suck reflex. Place a bottle in his/her mouth, and the baby will suck reflexively.

Can using electronic devices delay in speech in children?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. A three and a half-year-old child should be able to speak three-word phrases and should know at least a fifty-word vocabulary. He should be able to speak clearly and intelligibly. If he is not doing the above-mentioned activities, then he should have a formal hearing or audiology evaluation and formal speech evaluation.

My 3-year-old kid has stomach ache, fever, cold and toothache. Kindly help.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The stomach ache could be from the fact that she has a watery stool. This could be a sign of developing gastroenteritis. No specific medication here. Just make sure she takes small sips of water or Gatorade to keep her hydrated.

My 10-month-old kid has yellowish ear discharge and cries without sleeping. Please help.

Hello, Welcome back to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. It is possible that your baby could be suffering from an ear infection. The yellowish-brownish discharge collection in her right ear could mean that her eardrum had ruptured and fluid or pus is flowing out and collecting in the ear canal. Ideally, this should be removed and cleaned with an ear curette by your pediatrician so he/she can look inside your baby's ear with an otoscope to get a better view of what is going on inside his ear.
