Kids are very innocent, very delicate emotionally. They love their mother, they love their maid too.
Whenever they are away from their maid, they become sad. They are very attached with their caretaker, in her absence they even stop eating. Sometimes they weep and cry non stop.They miss their loved one.
Kids are much more emotional than we are. Do not be rude with them... Do not leave them alone... Do not forcefully feed them. Every hurt leaves them with some imprint on their hearts and minds...

Celiac disease...
Our daily diet has more than 50 percent of carbohydrates. And main carbohydrate is wheat or products made through wheat.
Bread, sujee, maidaa are all derived from Wheat.
Wheat has a protein, known as Gluten.
Few of us are genetically sensitive to this protein and cannot tolerate even little amounts of it. It results in Celiac disease. 
These patients manifest as Persistent Diarrhea...
Anaemia...
Growth Failure...
Even Constipation...
Skin disease...
And it may present in other ways too.
Unfortunately there is no cure and fortunately all disease manifestations reverse after stopping wheat from food list...
Disease is more common in Punjabis and North Indians in our country...

Poor appetite is more of perception than a disease...
Who knows better than a Doctor?
Parents and grand parents are usually too worried about the appetite of their child and always look for fast solution...
Answer is with parents only, they need to think differently...
If doctor says, cut down on milk intake or cut down on soft drinks and juices, follow him rather than following your whims...
Every child is unique but their problems are not unique...
All children behave similarly age-wise like One to Walk, Two to Talk... same goes for their appetite also...
Doctor always gives advice for the good...

To discuss the treatment on phone is a Big Mess...
As child is not in front of Doctor, it is very difficult to judge on behalf of complaint narrated by parents...
It is further complicated as even common medicines are not available everywhere and parents are not confident about the name of drug as it was discussed on phone...
So it creates a vicious cycle of confusion.
Dear Friends it is the proper examination which decides the correct treatment...
It is always better to consult a nearby available doctor rather than discussing it on Phone...
It is more peaceful and feasible...

Knowledge about recurrent infections is no substitute to clinical examination... as children deteriorate faster...
Investigations or no investigations should be prerogative of a Doctor...
In most situations unnecessary tests confuse disease plan... e.g. often children with viral infections have high counts...
But if a child has fever but without classical viral symptoms, one must rule out urinary tract infection as it has potential for recurrence...
Antibiotic if started under some doubt, it's better to complete the course as suggested by doctor...
Do trust your doctor otherwise simple problem turn in to complex one...

Is blood transfusion a cure for anemia??
No ways dear friends...
It does pass some time and of course at times, it's life saving.
What's more important to know is why the Hemoglobin dropped so much?
Is it a disease?
Or is the cause poor nutrition?
We can only improve as parents and well-wishers if we are ready to shed off our myths...
Otherwise it's easy to always blame something else for our mistakes...
Dear friends, it is time to change and learn beyond what we already know...

Recurrent pain in abdomen, recurrent headache or Vomiting in an otherwise normal child is pretty close to diagnosis of some emotional issues.
If child has a normal clinical examination, normal investigation under supervision of an experienced child specialist, parents must think out of the box. 
They should find out some trivial emotional issue, which may be heavy on child's soul...
Doctor fears in going deep into this paradoxical situation because it disturbs his time schedule often along with a compliment - " Doctor Sahab, we believe you are a good doctor but this time you have failed.
Do not think much, give your child emotional support and talk to your child confidently... 'You are fine, sometimes few illnesses last for few extra days...'
