I'm in Bangalore and I'm having trouble finding Otostar drops, which I've been using to clean my 7-month-old baby's ears. One of the stores here suggested I use Otorex instead. Is it safe to use Otorex for my baby's ears? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate your advice.

View allI'm feeling really concerned about my 3-year-old son after getting his ultrasound results. It says his liver is mildly enlarged but has normal echotexture, with no focal lesion or dilation of intrahepatic biliary channels, and the portal vein and CBD are normal. He seems to have weak stamina and gets tired really quickly. What steps should I take to help him get better or should I be more worried about these symptoms?
Elevated Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) can be a concern, especially with Type 1 diabetes and hyperglycemia. _Causes of elevated MPV:_ 1. _Inflammation_: Chronic inflammation, often seen in diabetes, can increase MPV. 2. _Oxidative stress_: High blood sugar levels can lead to oxidative stress, which may contribute to elevated MPV. 3. _Platelet activation_: Hyperglycemia can activate platelets, leading to increased MPV. _Ways to reduce MPV:_ 1. _Improve blood sugar control_: Tighten your blood sugar control to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. 2. _Increase omega-3 fatty acids_: Omega-3 rich foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help reduce inflammation. 3. _Antioxidant-rich foods_: Consume antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and other fruits and vegetables. 4. _Exercise regularly_: Regular physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. 5. _Consider supplements_: Certain supplements like turmeric, ginger, and vitamin D may help reduce inflammation and MPV. However, consult your doctor before adding any supplements. _Monitor and adjust:_ 1. _Regularly check your MPV_: Monitor your MPV levels regularly to track changes. 2. _Adjust your treatment plan_: Work with your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan as needed to achieve better blood sugar control and reduce MPV.

I'm a mother of a 4-month-old baby and I'm currently breastfeeding. I got the Covishield vaccine this morning and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Dolo 650 while I'm breastfeeding. Is that something you'd recommend?
Congratulations on reaching this milestone! At 5 months 6 days, you can introduce Cerelac as a supplementary food. For your baby's age, suitable Cerelac options are: Cerelac Wheat (single-grain cereal) Cerelac Rice (single-grain cereal) Consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and prepare the cereal as recommended.

My daughter's been dealing with cough, cold, and fever since yesterday morning, and her fever spikes up to 101 degrees. When we give her Dolo or Ibugesic syrup, the fever drops but comes back after about 6 hours. She also experiences chills before the fever returns. We've been giving her Timnic for the cold and Tycklix for the cough. Can you tell me how long it might take for her to stabilize? Should we be thinking about antibiotics now? Just last week, she had stomach issues and fever, and was on Rantac and Azee syrup for that. What should we do?
Considering the symptoms of persistent fever with chills, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. Antibiotics may be considered if there are signs of a bacterial infection, such as prolonged fever or worsening symptoms. It is important to complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor. In the meantime, continue with the current medications for cold and cough as directed. If the fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
