Brief Answer:
Suggestions on feeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

Coming to your queries first -

1. You can introduce each vegetable and fruit one per week. I am suggesting one per week because, we will know if he's allergic to any particular food.

2. You can introduce cashew. But all animal protein inclining egg better to avoid till 12 months of age. Avoid ground nuts till 2 years of age.

3. You can introduce packet milk after 1 year of age.

At this age you can start giving Cerelac stage one rice or Nestum rice stage 1 etc. All are same in calories and energy. Only thing is palatability which is subjective for each kid.

Other home-made food options will be -
1. Daal and rice well cooked and made into a porridge along with ghee
2. Boiled apple or banana and mashed into a paste.
3. Any made cereal porridge preparation with additional ghee added.

Remember certain principles like -
1. Add one food material / cereal or fruit per week. This will be useful because if he develops vomiting or diarrhoea, we will know what to avoid.
2. Add vegetables and fruits made into a paste surely to avoid constipation.
3. Do not add too much sugar as it may cause diarrhoea.

Brief Answer:
Please upload image of the rash for better guidance

Detailed Answer:
Hi.....Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly.

I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

It might or might not be related to food allergy. But usually food allergies manifest as swelling of lips, stridor, pain in tummy, vomiting and diarrhea.

Brief Answer:
Looks like skin allergy or insect bite allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi...this doesn't look like a food allergy. It looks like a skin allergy or urticaria or an insect bite allergy.

Allergy can manifest as Cough and cold.

But if the kid is not breathless you need not worry about cough and cold.

Brief Answer:
As age increases allergies decrease

Detailed Answer:
Hi....as age increases allergies decrease.

Coming to your queries -

1. You can continue using Tedybar, Atogla and Dermadew.

2. You can give Monteleukast 4mg once a day for 4 weeks to keep allergies at bay.

3. You can do massage daily. It's not related to allergy.

Hi,monteleukast 4 mg can be given @ normal time. or once I see the spots??? and if any queries how can I contact u directly through ask a doctor??

Answered by Dr. Sumanth Amperayani (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Monteleukast can ve given at 6pm daily fir 4 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi.... Monteleukast can be given daily at 6pm irrespective of spots appearing or not. Monteleukast doesn't act immediately. It acts only as prevention and on using for longer time. So if you start using monteleukast after spots appear then the result might not be that good.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help.
