<ul><li>Children never directly get fungal infection.</li><li>Your child can get fungal infection from any member of the family who has been infected already.</li><li>Generally parents apply ointment for fungal infection on the skin surface and it gets healed in a few days but the infection under the skin is left untreated.</li><li>It is better to always consult a doctor for complete recovery from fungal infection. Doctors usually recommend oral medication plus ointment.</li><li>Fungal infections easily spread from one person to another so it is advisable that the other members in the family should also get checked and treated if needed.</li><li>The best way to avoid fungal infections is to keep your surroundings clean. Fungus usually grows where there is a source of water and humid conditions. Make sure there is no such corner in your place which provides environment for fungal growth.</li></ul>

Fungal infections are very rare among children but you can always prevent it from happening by following proper measures.

Fungal infections in children

Conjunctivitis in children is very common. Conjunctivitis causes red, irritated and sticky eyes. It is caused either by an infection (viral or bacterial) or due to allergies (irritants). Symptoms of conjunctivitis can last from 3 days to 3 weeks. If the child is younger than 6 weeks, consult a doctor immediately. Causes:<ul><li>Bacteria</li><li>Viruses</li><li>Allergy</li><li>Pollution</li></ul> Signs and symptoms of conjunctivitis:<ul><li>Redness of the white part of the eye</li><li>Irritation or itching in the eye</li><li>Bacterial conjunctivitis shows stringy discharge</li><li>More tears than usual</li><li>Swelling of the eyelids</li><li>Crusting of the eyelids or eyelashes</li></ul> Treatment of conjunctivitis:<ul><li>Viral conjunctivitis may last for one to two weeks and does not need medical treatment. It resolves on its own.</li><li>For bacterial and allergic conjunctivitis, see a doctor. Symptoms usually improve within 24 to 48 hours once treatment is started. Bacterial conjunctivitis is usually treated for five to seven days.</li></ul>You can use follow any of the following remedies to treat conjunctivitis in children:<ol><li>Salt water solution: Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to pot of boiling water. Let it cool down. Then dip a cotton ball in this water, squeeze it a bit and keep it on both the eyelids of the baby.</li><li>Potato Slice: Peel the skin of raw potato. Wash it properly, Cut very thin slices and place them on both the eyelids of your child.</li><li>Chamomile oil: Add a few drops of chamomile oil in lukewarm distilled water. Dip cotton balls in this and place it on both eyelids of the baby for 5-7 minutes. Please note that this is not recommended for children below 1 year.</li><li>Consult an eye specialist if the problem persists for more than a few days.</li></ol> Prevention of conjunctivitis:<ul><li>Ask your children to wash their&nbsp;hands often throughout the day with soap and warm water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Wash your hands before and after using the eye drops. Also wash your hands if you come into contact with an infected person’s eyes, clothes, or other personal items.</li><li>Ask your child not to&nbsp;touch or rub his/her eyes.</li><li>Do not allow sharing of personal items such as towels, blankets, pillowcases, etc.</li><li>Wash bedding, washcloths, and towels in hot water after you use them.</li><li>Do not send your child to school or play if he has severe conjunctivitis with pus and sticky discharge.</li></ul>

Here are Conjunctivitis Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention.

Causes:Blindness&nbsp;may be due to genetic mutations, birth defects, premature birth, nutritional deficiencies, infections, injuries, and other causes. Symptoms:<ul><li>Pupils are unequal in size.</li><li>Pupils appear white instead of black.</li><li>Eyes don’t move when an object or face is moving in front of it.</li><li>Crossed eyes.</li><li>Eyes flutter from side to side or up and down.</li><li>Eyes do not seem to focus.</li><li>Clumsy behaviour such as knocking things over or bumping into things.</li><li>Repeated shutting or covering of one eye.</li><li>Avoiding tasks that require good vision.</li><li>Frequent squinting and blinking.</li><li>Sitting too close to the TV, holding books too close to the face.</li><li>Face crunching and eye rubbing.</li></ul> Diagnosis: After you observe above symptoms in your child, take him/her to an opthalmologist for thorough examination and diagnosis as there are different types of blindness. An opthalmologist will examine each eye by measuring the visual field, peripheral vision, and visual acuity. Types of Blindness:<ol><li>Colour Blindness: It is the inability to identify the difference between a few shades of colours.</li><li>Night Blindness: It is the difficulty to see under poorly illuminated situations.</li><li>Snow Blindness: It is the loss of vision after excessive exposure to UV light.</li><li>Unilateral Blindness: It is the loss of vision in only one of the eyes</li><li>Bilateral Blindness: It is the loss of vision in both the eyes.</li><li>Congenital Blindness: It is the inability to see from birth.</li></ol> Treatment:<ol><li>Make sure you take an appointment with an ophthalmologist if you do notice any of the above signs and symptoms affecting your kid. Also remember to get a routine check-up done to ensure proper progress and eye health.</li><li>In certain eye problems, wearing glasses or contact lenses may help your kid in seeing better.</li><li>Certain eye problems can be tackled by performing a surgery. In all cases, treatment of the eye problem totally depends on the cause.</li><li>In some cases, children may suffer from vision problems due to nutritional deficiencies and following a healthy diet could help solve the problem.</li><li>Cataract surgeries and certain forms of medications and eye drops could also be a treatment option for some children affected by treatable forms of visual impairment.</li></ol> Prevention: Whether a blindness is preventable or not, can only be identified by an opthalmologist because prevention, like treatment, depends on the type of blindness. Raising a visually impaired child:Connecting to the right kind of people and finding proper guidance can be a lot of help. Here are some tips you can follow to make this journey better and easier:&nbsp;<ol><li>Find your support system: The people who would understand what you are going through and offer relevant advice. Connect with other parents going through the same situation.</li><li>Follow a positive attitude: It is going to be okay! You and the child both will work it out eventually.</li><li>Do not worry about a child's future. Just be rational and practical and believe that it is always going to be better. See how you grow through this experience.</li><li>Read some articles: Go through some of the materials online or just consult your doctor. Ask for some suggestions and maybe read a book or an article on what can make your journey more fulfilling for you and your child. See how you can better the process. A few articles will help for sure.</li><li>Join some organisations: There are some private and government-based organisations you can join. They have nominal fees. These organisations are of great help because they can provide you with every small detail, the problem along with their solutions.</li><li>Educate your family: Introduce your family and extended family and friends to hows and whats of the process.

If your child does not like milk or takes time to have a glass of milk every morning, do not get impatient. Threatening the child is not a solution.Calcium is important for bones and milk intake is important for a child’s health, so you can try these techniques or give alternate sources of Milk: <ul><li>Keep offering milk at each meal.</li><li>Make a smoothie with Banana or make almond milkshake.</li><li>You can pair milk with cornflakes or healthy cereals.</li><li>Give a handful of almonds and oranges as a substitute.</li><li>Sprinkle some sesame seeds in salads or add them when you knead a roti dough.</li><li>Give plenty of curd or yogurt/cheese/ghee - these are good substitutes of milk.</li><li>Don’t start with a full glass and insist on finishing it; try small quantities and gradually increase the intake.</li><li>You can even pair it with you child’s favourite biscuits or cookies.</li><li>Give them options of colourful glasses to choose from so as to make the milk consumption appealing.</li></ul> REMEMBER the goal is to fulfil the calcium need in a child's body. So if your child dislikes animal milk, you can try almond or coconut milk or given him/her alternative sources of calcium.

If your child does not like milk or takes time to have a glass of milk every morning, do not get impatient.

What to do if child does not drink milk?

Following are the guidelines to be followed regarding the milk intake of a child: <ul><li>Ideally the child should be compulsorily breastfed till the age of 1 year.</li><li>In case if the mother’s milk is not enough or if she’s a working mother and is unable to feed the child, external milk can be given.</li><li>As external milk, give formula milk. You can give formula milk based on your budget and child’s nutrition requirements. Formula milk is rich in proteins and DHA which help in brain development. There are several formulas for milk available - STANDARD formula like Lactogen and Dexolac. PREMIUM formula is also available in market which is very similar to the mother’s milk with DHA and ARA like Enfamil and Nan Excella pro.</li></ul> <ul><li>In any case, DO NOT give animal milk to your child before one year. The proteins in animal milk and human milk are completely different which can lead to consequences. A child can be given animal (cow/goat/buffalo) milk after 1 year.</li><li>A child can be given semi-skimmed milk after 2 years of age. However, do not give complete skim milk to a child under 5 years.</li></ul> <ul><li>There is no age limit for breastfeeding. A child can be breastfed till one or two years or even more than that as long as both the mother and child are comfortable. But sometimes it so happens that even after one year, the child considers mother’s milk as the sole source of food and does not intake any external food.</li><li>REMEMBER that after one year, the child’s nutrition need should be fulfilled 70% by outer food and 30% by mother’s milk.</li><li>When the child feeds on mother’s milk for a while, his/her hunger is satisfied but the child does not get enough nutrition. Hence, such a child can stay malnourished and can lose weight. In such cases, doctors can advise the mother to wean off the child at least during the daytime so that the child starts eating properly and gets proper nutrition.</li></ul>

It is important to breastfeed a child till 1 year. It is not advisable to give formula milk before the age of 1 year.

Experts are still learning about how to protect the body against coronavirus. There are far fewer cases of the virus reported in children. Most children catch the infection from someone they live with or from a family member. The virus seems to cause a milder infection in children than in adults or older people. Symptoms : Common symptoms: fever, tiredness, dry coughSome children may experience aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, headache, rashes. IN severe cases, there is difficulty in breathing as well. On average it takes 5–6 days from when someone is infected with the virus for symptoms to show, however it can take up to 14 days. Seek medical attention if your child has a fever, a cough, and difficulty in breathing. PrecautionsBelow practices will help you and your child keep safe from Corona Virus:<ul><li>Avoid contact with people who are known patients of coronavirus.</li><li>Wash your and your baby's hands well with soap for at least 20 seconds. Wash them often.</li><li>Avoiding travel and crowded places.</li><li>Teach them not to touch their eyes, nose, and mouth, especially if they haven’t washed their hands.</li><li>Use a sanitiser.</li><li>Avoid close contact with anyone who has a fever or cough.</li><li>Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.</li><li>Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that people touch a lot.</li></ul> FAQs: Can children get infected by coronavirus?Studies suggest that children are equally likely to get infected as adults. However, the severity is less in children. Difference between Coronavirus and Covid-19?Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses known to cause respiratory illnesses in animals and humans. Whereas, Covid-19 is the disease caused by a coronavirus. How does Covid-19 spread?People can catch this infection from someone who has it. It is primarily by the small droplets expelled from the nose or mouth when a person with Covid-19 sneezes, coughs or speaks. These droplets can stay on surfaces so when someone touches those infected surfaces, they might catch the infection. Is there a vaccine, drug, or treatment available?Some traditional medicines and home remedies might soothe the suffering from the infection but there is no specific vaccine, treatment, or drug available as of now. Difference between quarantine, isolation, and distancing?<ul><li>Quarantine means separating people who are not ill themselves but may have been exposed to Covid-19. Self-quarantine means separating yourself even if you are not ill but believe that you might have been exposed to the virus.</li><li>Isolation is separating the people who are ill with Covid-19 symptoms.</li><li>Physical distancing is to stay at a distance of at least 1 metre to avoid catching the virus. This needs to be followed by everyone regardless of whether someone has symptoms or not.</li></ul>

During the fit, a child might experience jerking/twitching of a hand, arm or leg or jerking/twitching of the whole body. They may or may not become unconscious. Seizures are either epileptic (caused due to epilepsy) or non-epileptic that are caused by factors such as drops in blood sugar or pressure, changes in heart rhythm, or emotional stress. Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes a child to have seizures. The brain consists of nerve cells that communicate with each other through electrical activity. A seizure occurs when one or more parts of the brain have a burst of abnormal electrical signals that interrupt normal brain signals. Types of seizures:The type of seizure depends on which part and how much of the brain is affected and what happens during the seizure. The 2 main categories of epileptic seizures are focal (partial) seizure and generalised seizure. Focal (partial) seizures:Focal seizures take place when abnormal electrical brain function occurs in one or more areas of one side of the brain. Before a focal seizure, your child may have signs that a seizure is about to occur. The most common signs are deja vu, impending doom, fear, or euphoria. The 2 types of focal seizures are: <ul><li>Simple focal seizure: The symptoms of this seizure depend on the area of the brain getting affected. If there is an abnormal electrical brain function in the vision part of the brain, your child’s sight may be altered. The seizure activity is limited to an isolated muscle group. For example, it may only affect the fingers, or larger muscles in the arms and legs. Your child may also have sweating, nausea, or become pale. Your child won’t lose consciousness in this type of seizure.</li></ul> <ul><li>Complex focal seizure: This type of seizure often occurs in the area of the brain controlling emotions and memory. Your child will likely have altered consciousness. Your child may or may not pass out, or just stop being aware of what's going on around him or her. Your child may look awake, but have a variety of unusual behaviours. These may range from gagging, lip smacking, running, screaming, crying, or laughing. Your child may be tired or sleepy after the seizure.</li></ul> Generalised seizure:A generalised seizure occurs in both sides of the brain. Your child will lose consciousness and be tired after the seizure (postictal state).&nbsp;Types of generalised seizures include: Absence seizure: This seizure causes a change in consciousness and staring. Your child will likely maintain posture. His or her mouth or face may twitch or eyes may blink rapidly. The seizure usually lasts no longer than 30 seconds. The child may not recognise the seizure and go on about their activity without feeling different. These seizures may occur several times a day. Absence seizures start between ages 4 to 12. Atonic seizure: This is also called a drop attack. During an atonic seizure, your child experiences a sudden loss of muscle tone and may fall from a standing position or suddenly drop his or her head. During this seizure, your child will be limp and unresponsive. Generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTC): Also known as grand mal seizure. In this seizure, your child’s body, arms, and legs will flex (contract), extend (straighten out), and tremor (shake). After this, muscles contract and relax (clonic period). The child then enters postictal period (after seizure). During the postictal period, your child may be sleepy. He or she may have problems with vision or speech, and may have a bad headache, fatigue, or body aches. Myoclonic seizure: This type of seizure causes quick movements or sudden jerking of a group of muscles. These seizures tend to occur in clusters. This means that they may occur several times a day, or for several days in a row. Status epilepticus: is a life-threatening condition in which a child has prolonged seizures or one seizure after another without regaining consciousness in between them. You should always get emergency medical help if a seizure lasts more than five minutes. Symptoms:<ul><li>Staring</li><li>Tremors, convulsions or jerking movements in the arms and legs</li><li>Stiffening of the body</li><li>Loss of consciousness</li><li>Breathing problems</li><li>Loss of bowel or bladder control</li><li>Falling suddenly</li><li>Not responding to noise or words for short periods of time</li><li>Appearing confused or in a haze</li><li>Extreme sleepiness and irritability when waking up in the morning</li><li>Periods of rapid eye blinking</li><li>Vomiting</li><li>Changes in vision, speech or both</li></ul> Causes:<ul><li>Head injuries</li><li>Birth trauma</li><li>Congenital conditions</li><li>Poisoning</li><li>Fever or infection</li><li>Brain tumours</li><li>Maternal illness during pregnancy</li><li>Genetics</li><li>Degenerative brain disorders</li></ul> Diagnosis:Diagnosing a seizure can be tricky. Seizures are over so quickly that your doctor probably will never see your child having one. Your description of the seizure is important to help your doctor with the diagnosis. If your child falls suddenly or shakes, it is impossible to not notice it. But absence or staring seizures may go unnoticed for years. You shouldn't worry if your child gazes open-mouthed at cartoons on TV, or stares out the window in the car. Most kids who appear to be daydreaming really are just daydreaming. But be careful when your child is in the middle of speaking or doing something, and suddenly stops. Medical tests are an important part of diagnosing seizures. These include blood tests, an EEG (Electroencephalogram) to check the electrical activity in the brain, or request a brain scan such as an MRI with a specific epilepsy protocol. Treatment:The goal of treatment is to control, stop, or reduce how often seizures occur. Treatment is often done with medicine. Medicines are selected based on the type of seizure, age of the child, side effects, cost, and ease of use. Your healthcare professional might conduct regular blood tests to check the level of the medicine in the blood and its effects on the organs. (S)he might also do an EEG by which you will know how the medicines are helping the electrical problems in your child’s brain. Your child may not need medicine for life. Some children are taken off medicine if they have had no seizures for 1 to 2 years. This though, is determined a healthcare provider. Other treatments include: <ul><li>A ketogenic diet: This type of diet is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. The diet causes the body to make ketones. The brain and heart work normally with ketones as an energy source. Researchers cannot identify how exactly this diet helps. DO NOT undertake this diet for your child unless it is advised by your child’s doctor.</li></ul> <ul><li>Surgery: Surgery may be done to remove the part of the brain where the seizures are occurring. Or the surgery helps to stop the spread of the bad electrical currents through the brain. Your child may be awake during the surgery. The brain itself does not feel pain. If your child is awake and able to follow commands, the surgeons are better able to check areas of his or her brain during the procedure. Surgery is not an option for everyone with seizures.</li></ul> Factors that trigger a seizure:<ul><li>Stress, anxiety, or other emotional issues</li><li>Change in sleep schedules or significant sleep deprivation</li><li>Change in medications, or skipping or missing a dose of anti-seizure medication</li><li>Things that over-stimulates the senses, like lights that flash brightly, watching television, playing video or computer games</li></ul> Preventing seizures:<ul><li>Plenty of sleep each night</li><li>Regular medications as prescribed by your doctor</li><li>Avoid bright, flashing lights and other visual stimuli.</li><li>Skip TV and computer time whenever possible.</li><li>Avoid playing video games.</li><li>A healthy diet.</li></ul> Fits or seizures can be really difficult to deal with. Keep the following in mind while your child is having a fit: <ul><li>Stay calm: When you stay calm, you can think of how to help your child.</li><li>Prevent injury: Keep your child away from sources of danger, for example, if you are on the road, take him/her to some safe place. Try to keep them away from ladders or stairs. Keep hard or pointed objects away from them.</li><li>They may stop breathing temporarily. Their face may become dusky or blue around the mouth. Do not try to give CPR during seizures. They will get normal soon.</li><li>Be aware of the length of the seizure: If it lasts for more than 5 minutes, call an ambulance. Observe minutely so that you can give an accurate report.</li><li>Make your child as comfortable as possible: Remove glasses if any. If the child has food in the mouth, do not try to take it out. Roll them onto their side so that any fluids can drain out of their mouth. Loosen anything around their neck for better breathing. Loosen belts or buttons if they are tight.</li><li>Do not put anything into your child’s mouth like a spoon or pencil or any such thing. It is a common misconception that people can swallow their own tongue but that is just not possible.</li><li>Avoid making a crowd around the child during seizures, give them room for breathing.</li><li>Do not give your child any water, food or pills while they are having seizures.</li><li>Be sensitive and supportive after the seizure is over. Let them know it is okay if they had wet their pants or had bowel movements, as they had no control over their body during the seizure. Provide them with fresh clothes to change if they have spoiled their clothes.</li></ul> After the seizure: If they have injured themselves during a seizure, take them to a doctor.

Many people use the word depressed very casually. Never assume that your child is depressed if you haven’t got your child assessed by a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist. If your child is functioning fine but remains upset or irritated, this might be some stress. You can talk to your child and understand the reason behind it. If your child, along with being sad or irritated, does not eat and sleep well, (s)he needs evaluation done by a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist. Depression in children is different from their developing emotions. Sadness does not equal depression. If your child’s sadness becomes constant and interferes with his/her daily tasks and routine, family life, schoolwork, or friendship, it may indicate that your child needs professional help. Symptoms:<ul><li>Irritability or anger</li><li>Continuous feelings of sadness and hopelessness</li><li>Social withdrawal</li><li>Increased sensitivity to rejection</li><li>Changes in appetite – increased or decreased</li><li>Changes in sleep – reduced or excessive</li><li>Vocal outbursts or crying</li><li>Difficulty concentrating</li><li>Fatigue and low energy</li><li>Physical complaints (such as stomach aches, headaches) that don't respond to treatment</li><li>Reduced ability to function during events and activities at home or with friends, in school, extracurricular activities, and in other hobbies or interests</li><li>Feelings of worthlessness or guilt</li><li>Thoughts of death or suicide</li></ul>Not every child has the same symptoms. Most children display different symptoms at different times and in different settings. Risk factors:Children with a family history of violence, alcohol abuse, or physical or sexual abuse are at greater risk of experiencing depression. Causes:<ul><li>Physical health issues</li><li>Life events</li><li>Family history of depression</li><li>Family conflicts</li><li>Genetic vulnerability</li><li>Substance abuse</li></ul> Diagnosis:<ul><li>A doctor’s visit needs to be scheduled for your child if the symptoms of depression have lasted for at least two weeks. Remember that a visit to a mental healthcare professional – either a psychiatrist or a psychologist – is needed to have a plan of action for your child properly.</li><li>A mental health evaluation usually includes interviews with you (the parent or primary caregiver) and your child. Information from teachers, friends and classmates can help show that these symptoms are consistent during your child's various activities and are different from previous behaviour.</li><li>There are no specific tests that can clearly show depression. Still, tools such as questionnaires (for both the child and parents) combined with personal information can be very useful in helping diagnose depression in children.</li></ul> Treatment:<ul><li>Treatment includes psychotherapy (counselling) and medication. Your child's doctor may suggest psychotherapy first and consider antidepressant medicine an additional option if there is no significant improvement.</li><li>It is difficult for parents to accept the fact that their child might be depressed. Some parents tend to deny this fact and avoid taking help from a mental healthcare professional. Parents need to understand depression and realise the importance of treatment to grow physically and emotionally in a healthy way.</li></ul> Prevention:Most of the time, it is difficult for parents to prevent depression in children, mainly because depression is a type of mental illness and is invisible. Hence most parents don't see it coming. Many have a great deal in accepting that their child might be depressed. But you can always choose an emotionally healthy lifestyle to reduce your child's chances of going under depression. ﻿Following are a few things to keep in mind:Establish a routine in your child's life. Avoid unnecessary moving of houses and schools. Stick to a schedule.Encourage open and honest communication.Keep a check on your behaviour. Do not constantly nag your child or always telling them what not to do. Opt for constructive feedback and try and understand their perspective towards things.Keep arguments among family and arguments between husband and wife away from children.Support your child's self-esteem.

Low blood sugar is medically called hypoglycemia and this can be resolved in most of the cases, with proper care.Sugar or glucose gives energy and most of this energy is used by the brain. When a child suffers from low blood glucose, it may – in some cases – lead to neurological damage, developmental delay, recurrent seizures and even cardiovascular issues. Symptoms that may indicate hypoglycemia in children:<ul><li>Blush or blue coloured or pale skin</li><li>Breathing problems like pauses between breathing, grunting or rapid breathing</li><li>Floppy muscles</li><li>Problems keeping your newborn warm</li><li>In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all.</li></ul> Causes:When your baby is inside your womb the glucose need is fulfilled by the placenta. Glucose level drops within 1-2 hours of birth and starts rising within the next 12 hours. After birth, your baby receives glucose from breastmilk and the baby's liver also starts making it. In some cases, your baby's liver might not be producing sufficient glucose or baby might use up more glucose than the amount received through breastmilk and produced through liver. Another reason could be that if you are a diabetic mother, your baby’s pancreas would release more insulin when inside the womb to maintain normal glucose level and after birth too, the pancreas continue with the insulin secretion at the same rate. Unfortunately, the liver cannot match this with adequate glucose production resulting in low levels in the blood. What can you do?<ul><li>Breastmilk is best way to regulate blood glucose level in your baby. The colostrum has enzymes that help the liver to release the glucose. Doctors will usually give a feeding plan to maintain the levels.</li><li>Keep your baby in skin to skin contact with you as this will keep your baby warm. Cold is known to worsen glucose levels. Generally, with proper care, the glucose levels in blood will stabilise within 3 days of birth. If the problem persists, the doctor will take the next necessary steps.</li></ul>
