I have a 14-month-old daughter, and since yesterday her palms and feet have been really warm. Her temperature was 102.3, but now it's around 100. She's only got two teeth so far and her gums seem sore. Could this be because of teething? What do you think?

It is possible that your daughter's symptoms are related to teething. To help alleviate her discomfort and reduce her fever, you can give her infant acetaminophen suspension. Consult the medication label or your pediatrician for specific dosing instructions. Additionally, you can provide her with teething toys or a cold washcloth to chew on to help soothe her sore gums. If her symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with her pediatrician for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about my 5-year-old daughter. Her recent urine test showed pus cells in the range of 8-10 per HPF. Is this something we should be worried about? What's considered normal for a child her age? I'm worried if this could be dangerous. Could you help me understand what this means and how we can address it?
The normal ratio of pus cells in the urine of a 5-year-old girl is usually less than 5 per high power field (HPF). Therefore, 8-10 pus cells per HPF may indicate an infection. While a UTI is not usually dangerous, it is important to treat it promptly to prevent complications such as kidney infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

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
