Can I use a nebulizer for my daughter while she's asleep? She's been taking off the mask when she's awake. The doctor suggested using duolin 1ml mixed with 1ml of NS liquid.

-It's generally not recommended to use a nebulizer while your daughter is asleep because it can be hard to ensure the mask stays in place and she gets the full dose. You can try gently waking her up for the treatment, or consult your doctor for alternativ

View allMy 7-month-old daughter has labial fusion for the past 2 days. My wife cleans her daily but noticed the labia sticking together. She pees fine, but the doctor said it's from infection and prescribed clotrimazole vaginal gel and levofloxacin ornidazole suspension. We started the meds a day ago but no improvement yet. I read it's called labial adhesion should I be worried about surgery at her age? What else can we do?

My 2-year-old daughter has had hydronephrosis in her right kidney since birth, and recent tests show only 44% function. The doctor recommended surgery, but I want to explore other treatment options first are there any medicines or alternatives? If surgery is the only option, what's better traditional or laser? Also, what would be the approximate cost?
Hydronephrosis with reduced kidney function (44%) in a 2-year-old typically indicates obstruction that may not improve with medications alone. Surgery is often the definitive treatment, and delaying it could risk further damage. Laser (minimally invasive) surgery is preferred for quicker recovery and less pain. Costs vary by hospital but may range from ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakh in India.

I'm really worried because my 2-year-old just swallowed an apricot seed. I've heard from someone that giving him bananas and sabudana kheer might help. Is that true, and is there anything else I should be doing right now? What's the best way to handle this?
If your baby has swallowed an apricot seed, it's important to stay calm. Monitor for any signs of discomfort, choking, or difficulty breathing. Feeding bananas or sabudana kheer may help soften the stool, but if there are any concerns or signs of distress, please seek immediate medical attention.
