Doc, give
me exact guidelines for when a girl will stop gaining ht and till
which age to keep trying. |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
Vishpala,
A girl may get a spurt in growth after puberty ie at 15-16.. |
| Vishpala |
Girls wake
up late and desperately want to gain height |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
It is
futile to expect a girl to grow in height after 18 yrs |
| Vishpala |
Today 2
very pretty girls came- they are 17,5 and desperately want to try.
Till 19 we can try, no? |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
Yes U may
try but don't give hopes |
| Vishpala |
Without
any hope, there is no reason to try, but I feel 6mths more something
may happen |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
There is a
formula by which U can calculate their expected height with reference
to their parents height |

Doctor My
daughter 2 yr old gets lot of itching at the anus that too at
...night. What to do? |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani
|
This could
be threadworm infestation. Tiny thread like white worms, they come out
at night and cause discomfort at night: If you see carefully, you may
be able to see them also. |
| Saloni |
Please
contact your doctor and take some suitable de worming medicine |

Doctor my
6 yr. old child has lot of headache when she gets cold could it be
sinus |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
Yes it is
sinus if headaches occur after getting cold |
| Heena |
& can
it be migraine are the two very different |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
Not
likely. Even though migraine is known to occur in kids too. This
doesn't look like migraine Migraine is a headache due to spasm in a
blood vessel whereas sinus headache is due to blockage of sinuses |
| Cheila |
can you
tell me if a 4 yr. old blood report shows haemoglobin is 8.7 does she
need to be admitted? |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
No not
all. Only if she is bleeding actively than to locate the source of
bleed She would respond as well to oral iron |
| Cheila |
no she's
not bleeding |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
Then
please don't admit |
| Cheila |
what is
the normal level of haemoglobin in the blood at this age |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
Normal
level at any age is between 12-14 |
| Cheila |
So 8.7 is
quite less |
| Dr
C.H. Asrani |
Yes, You
ask the attending doctor as to what he plans to do U must also check
to see if there is OCCULT blood in the stool passage |

will give her a course in iron for 2 months then decide |
