Can you give me any help in pediatric skin problems? My son, age 9, has Eczema dry skin and rashes all the time. We've tried Flax oil, baby oil on skin, diet change, lotions, creams, special soap etc. but he still has episodes of extreme itching and rashes on his stomach, lower back, behind the knees. He's very fair skinned and blonde hair.

This is a query I would like a pediatrician to answer. First of all let me congratulate the people behind this site. This is a wonderful concept. I wish you guys all the very best. My son is 2 years and 6 months old. From his age of 3 months he has been a respiratory tract patient. He had been admitted to hospitals 3 times with wheezing so far. This was till he was about 1year and 6 months old. He has since not had a single episode of wheezing from the age of 1 year and 6 months till about 5 months back he had been well without any problems. All his vaccines have been given on time. For the past 5 months he has been having one ailment or the other every month. Usually it is respiratory tract infections. The whole thing started off with typhoid ( Salmonella 300 titre H and O) about 4-5 months back. He was treated with Taxim o for 21 days. He showed negative after the treatment. After this every month he has Cold , Cough and Fever. The latest being episode of Vomiting and Diarrhoea 5 days back followed by cough. Which is under control now ( except the cough). Oral Rehydration was given. Vomistop stopped vomiting and Diarrhoea was treated with Normetrogyl. One more day’s course left for normetrogyl. Lacto B given along with Normetrogyl to retain normal flora. What are the ways to improve his immunity? Are there ways to stop these recurrent infections and the use of antibiotics? Are these recurrent infections because of joining him in a play school ( play school is 4 months old). Please reply
Question Category : Allergies
I have a four year old son who is in JK. I am aware that most children pick up many things while at school but it seems as though he has been stil for most of his year. He has now congested sounding, and is vomiting up a combination of clear and yellow fluids/mucus looking substance (no fever or diarrhoea or cough). He had these same symptoms in the beginning of January, with the combination of a harsh cough, and we were told he had bronchitis and prescribed some milky, orange, antibiotic which he wound up having a reaction to. We discontinued the use of this and he wound up getting better on his own. Now that he has this again, with the exception of the cough, I don't know if I should take him back in to the Doctor or leave him to get better on own? Please help

SIR, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2& 1/2 YEAR OLD CHILD. WHENEVER I PLAY CRICKET OR SOME EXERTING SPORT OR GAME WITH HIM OR WHENEVER HE PLAYS AROUND RUNNING, HE STARTS COUGHING (DRY) JUST AFTER 5-7 MINUTES. IT SEEMS TO BE NOT AN ORDINARY COUGH CASE. KINDLY ADVISE ME. THANKS.
Question Category : Allergies
Sir, My son is 5yrs and suffers from constant nasal congestion and sniffs constantly. Anti-histamines seem to make it worse and decongestants work well. He was tested for allergies at age 3 1/2 and came up _0_. However I have found if I let him eat nuts his congestion is worse, also he developed a dislike for milk and most milk products. He will eat pudding and cheese. His adenoids are normal except when he has an infection which is often. The doctors do not seem to know what to do. Can you provide me with any information on what tests we could try so we can figure out his problem? Thank You
Question Category : Allergies
My son aged 7 yrs started developing rashes some 6 months back on his hands and legs. Initially there were 2 to 3 on his hands and later it developed in his legs also. The doctor initially suggested its insect bite and gave some ointment to apply. The rashes then started getting opened up as the child scratched it and started getting wet. Then he was shown to a skin specialist who suggested that as his grandmother has asthma it could be a variant of that and gave liquid paraffin to apply, as the weather out here is dry and a cortisone ointment to apply for 10 days. The rashes came under control after this treatment. But after we stopped the cortisone ointment it again started appearing on the same points as small puss points all over the rash area. What is this problem and what is the permanent cure to it?
