Brief Answer:
Fever is likely to be due to non specific viral

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam XXXXXXX

Fever is not a disease, but is a symptom of underlying disease. Children quite often have fever without any system involvement and is more likely to be due to non specific viral infection. They are self limiting and require only symptomatic care.

If the following criteria are fulfilled then there is no cause for concern

1. Baby is accepting feeds well
2. No rash over body
3. Urine output is adequate
4. No distension of abdomen and absence of blood in stools.


All Health drinks are equally good. I usually recommend Pediasure. You can also go for BabyVita( basically it is banana powder and very nutritious).

I would recommend the following to increase the immunity

1. Chyawanprash: 1 spoon twice a day. It has XXXXXXX Gosseberry- Richest food source of Vitamin C and other anti-oxidants which boost immunity

2. Himalaya Septilin Syrup: It is very beneficial in boosting immunity

3. Adding Tulsi and Turmeric to milk given at bedtime. ( You can add Tulsi leaves+ Turmeric +Sugar in milk, bring it to boil, filter it)

4. DHA and Omega 3 fatty acid supplements

I would also suggest a home made recipe, which you can supplement with his breakfast: It is delicious, nutritious and is much better than many of the health drinks.

ngredients needed: Ghee( 2 spoons), Whole wheat flour ( 2 spoons) , Pista( 50 gms), Cardomom ( 6 in number), Almonds( 50 gms), Khajur( Dried dates 50 gms), water/milk

In a pan pour 2 spoons of ghee, heat it, add 2 spoons of wheat flour (Atta), cook it till golden brown on low flame till its slightly golden in color. Add 2 Cups of water or Milk and keep stirring it continuously making a thin water paste( same like sira consistency). To this add powdered mixture of rest of ingredients grinded in mixer ( pista, almond, khajur, cardomom).
Supplement baby breakfast with this recipe, and also can be consumed at night when baby is hungry. In this way his quota for milk will also be fulfilled.


Keep in touch

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life

Brief Answer:
Give fresh milk instead os Dexolac

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX


As she is already 4 years old, I would suggest to give fresh milk instead of derolac.

It is important that you start introducing a variety of food in your toddler's diet gradually. These will provide the calories, proteins, vitamins and minerals that are essential for his growth. The amount of food eaten would vary from child to child and would also depend on when you introduce a particular food to your toddler. Most of the times it is "Try and Error" method. Lots of patience would be required from your end to find out what is that diet which tickles your toddlers tastebuds which also contains maximum nutrients. You need to try multiple ones and find which your child loves to eat amongst those.
