Can kids eat apples when they have a cold and cough? I'm really curious about which fruits are safe and beneficial for them right now. Could you also suggest the best diet or foods to include during a cold and cough for kids? I just want to make sure I'm doing the best for their health.

Yes, kids can eat apples during a cold and cough as they are easy to digest and contain vitamin C, which can help boost immunity. For a soothing diet, offer soft fruits like bananas, oranges, and pears, along with warm soups, broths, and plenty of fluids like water and herbal teas to stay hydrated and relieve congestion.

my 3-month-old baby boy has severe left-sided hydronephrosis due to PUJ obstruction and the doctor recommended surgery. I'm confused between open and laparoscopic surgery which one is better for my baby and can you suggest the best doctor in Mumbai for this procedure
In some cases of hydronephrosis in baby boys, surgery may be necessary to address blockages or correct structural abnormalities that are causing the condition. The most common surgical procedure for hydronephrosis is pyeloplasty, which repairs a narrowed or obstructed ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). Other surgical options may include ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux or removal of obstructions like kidney stones or tumors

I've noticed that my nipples are getting swollen, and they're soft to the touch. When I press them, they return to normal for a bit, but then they swell up again after a few minutes. I'm 16, and I'm wondering if this is just a part of puberty or something I should be concerned about. Also, I've felt small clots behind both nipples, but there's no pain. Is this normal?
