  • Can you get strep throat without tonsils?

    Yes, you can get strep throat without tonsils. It is not possible to diagnose it without a strep test, so you always need to see your physician. It is less common to get strep once your tonsils are out, though. READ MORE

  • Can calcium deficiency impact teeth?

    Yes, calcium is important for strong teeth and bones. Try lactose free milk or soy or almond milk. Also, Minute maid makes a calcium fortified OJ and Ocean Spray makes a calcium fortified cranberry juice. READ MORE

  • Are there any home remedies to treat diaper rash?

    There are several different types of diaper rash, which is why there are so many creams. For home remedies, baby powder and corn starch are great preventives. Aloe vera can be very soothing. For diaper rashes which look like the skin is scalded from diarrhea, mixing maalox and baking soda works very well. If you were to buy only one diaper cream, I would recommend butt paste. It works great. READ MORE

  • How can i decrease my child’s anxiety about school?

    Talk to him about the positives of school. Ask his teacher to engage him immediately when you drop him off, so he gets busy and has fun right away. Ask his teacher if the anxiety lasts all day or goes away shortly after you leave. It may just be separating from you that is hard. If not, ask the director to observe the class and see if she can help identify what is stressing him. READ MORE

  • How important are multivitamin supplements?

    I am a strong believer that if your child eats well, especially fruits, vegetables, and milk, he should not need a vitamin. If your children are good eaters, do not worry about giving them a vitamin. READ MORE

  • My son who is 3 weeks old was born with small eyes. Is that a problem?

    If they are truly small eyes, I would take him to a pediatric ophthalmologist for at least one visit to make sure that everything else with his eyes is ok. This will give you and your doctor reassurance for the future. READ MORE

  • How often is it required to bottle feed my baby?

    If your baby is growing along the curve well, you do not need to supplement even if your baby seems to always want to nurse. Some babies use the breast as a pacifier- don't let this happen (I did with my first and was very sorry). Find other ways to soothe the baby and make him happy. If his weight gain is not sufficient, then follow each breast feeding with 1-2 oz of formula. Watch his weight gain. If it is not enough, increase the amount of formula. You might also want to visit with a lactation nurse to see if you are producing enough milk and how you can increase your supply. READ MORE

  • What can i do if my child gets sick on a weekend?

    Unfortunately, babies get sick at all times. Ask your pediatrician about what to do for after hour illnesses. Your pediatrician will likely have an answering service staffed by nurses to help you or he will take your call himself. If your child needs to be seen, some doctors do meet their patients at the office even on weekends. Some cities have urgent care clinics for evening and weekend illnesses that do not requires the ER. Some cities even have pediatric urgent care clinics, so try googling to see if your city offers any and what their hours are. READ MORE

  • Are over-the-counter cough medications safe?

    I like delsym 12 hour cough. Here is the dosing: 20# 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) twice a day 40# 1 tsp 60# 1 1/2 tsp 80# 2 tsp READ MORE

  • Is it necessary for me to keep my son at home if he has pinkeye?

    Once on medication for 48 hours, children with pink eye can return to school. If your doctor prescribes the eye drop Vigamox or Moxeza, he can return to school after 24 hours READ MORE

  • Can autism be developed?

    We believe that autism is multifactorial, involving both environment and heredity. We strive to diagnose children with autism by age 2. If your child is older than 2 and is healthy and developmentally normal, you probably have nothing to worry about. Serious illnesses or trauma that involve the central nervous system may result in a clinical picture similar to autism after healing. This is not clear and certainly not common. READ MORE

  • Is asthma hereditary?

    Yes, asthma can be hereditary, but there is no way to predict if your child or you will get it. You can develop asthma at any age. To minimize your risk, avoid smoking and passive smoking. The good news is that there are a lot of better treatments for asthma now than we had for your grandfather. READ MORE

  • Can I do anything to stop my child from wetting the bed?

    New onset bedwetting is different from just never being dry at night, which is developmental. It may be a sign of a urinary tract infection or diabetes, so it is important that he see his doctor. It may also be a sign of stress, so be sure to ask about adjustment to the new school year, bullying, and review any stressors in the home enviroment READ MORE

  • Patient privacy when it's a child being seen

    Some of this will depend on the age of your child. In general, the therapist will mostly see the child alone. Before starting therapy, establish with the therapist how he will communicate with you. - Will he update you briefly after each session? - Will he meet with you and your child occasionally? - Will the entire family need to attend some sessions? - Are you able to call or email him between appointments for updates? If you are already in therapy, and don't know the answers to these questions, ask to talk with the therapist for 5 minutes at the beginning of the next appointment. READ MORE

  • My baby blinks excessively. What's wrong?

    He may have dry eyes or vision problems. Your best choice would be to take him to a pediatric ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam. Your pediatrician should be able to refer you to one. READ MORE

  • Looking for help with my teenage daughter

    I'm all for being proactive, but I don't think that is necessary. I think that setting aside 10-15 minutes of time every day to talk to your daughter about her life (school, friends, clubs, concerns) is a better proactive approach. Letting her know that you are always there for her and that she CAN talk to you will pay off. Also, attend her activities, meet her friends, invite them to your house so that you get to know them, will all set up a trusting relationship between you. If you have other children, make sure you eat together AT THE KITCHEN TABLE (not in front of the TV) and talk about everyone's day, including yours, so that your children know about your life and stressors, just as you do about theirs.

  • My son watches the same movie over and over

    Actually, I do hear this from parents a lot, especially with a new movie. Don't be afraid to set limits on media time--the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 2 hours a day maximum for ALL media: TV, videos, iPads, gaming systems. Turn the television off and suggest other things to do: family games, puzzles, outside play, arts and crafts. READ MORE

  • Diabetes affecting my baby

    I am sure your obstetrician has been monitoring the baby's growth so that you know her size. The most frequent problem these babies have is their blood sugar being too low, if you are taking medication. If so, she may need early feedings, tube feedings, or intravenous fluids. However, if your blood sugar is controlled with diet alone, these are much less likely. Other potential problems include respiratory distress, polycythemia and resulting jaundice, and hypocalcemia. Diabetes can also be associated with birth defects, but I am sure your OB has been checking ultrasounds for any problems. A thorough physical examination at birth will answer that concern. Be sure that your pediatrician knows that you are a type 2 diabetic and can watch for these problems--often hospital paperwork doesn't reach the doctor, and your pediatrician may not know all of your health issues. Be prepared for the POSSIBILITY that the baby will need extra help after birth. READ MORE

  • How important is having friends?

    She probably won't admit that it upsets her. As our children become adolescents, their friends become an extremely important part of their lives. Make sure she has opportunities to meet new kids and make friends: try girl scouts, sports, robotic clubs, etc. based on her interest. Having her see her pediatrician or a therapist to make sure she is not depressed is a very good idea. Talk to her about her day: classes, teachers, other kids, and see if an opportunity to make a new friend isn't already there. READ MORE

  • Wiring a broken jaw

    She will likely have soreness even after the wires are removed. But children heal quickly and by 3 months out, she should be fully recovered. And don't be surprised if it is sooner. READ MORE
