I'm a bit concerned about my baby's digestion since I started giving them powdered milk. Is it normal for infants to have digestive issues with it? I've been using Lactogen 1, and I'm unsure if that's the best choice. Could you share some advice or solutions for these digestion problems?

Treatment and cure:_
- Antifungal creams: Continue using the prescribed fungal cream, as balanitis is often caused by fungal infections like candida.
- Good hygiene: Practice good genital hygiene, including gentle cleaning with soap and water, to prevent bacterial or fungal growth.
- Topical steroids: Your doctor may prescribe topical steroids to reduce inflammation and itching.
- Antibiotics: If the infection is bacterial, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.
Scars on the foreskin:
- Fungal infections can cause scarring: Repeated fungal infections can lead to scarring on the foreskin.
- Circumcision may be recommended: In severe cases, circumcision may be recommended to prevent future infections and scarring.
Why it's not yet fixed:
- Inadequate treatment duration: 15 days might not be enough to fully clear the infection.
- Insufficient hygiene practices: Make sure to practice good genital hygiene to prevent re-infection.
- Underlying conditions: Certain conditions, such as diabetes or immune system disorders, can increase the risk of recurring balanitis.

My son has had a fever since yesterday afternoon and I gave him paracetamol, which seemed to help for a bit. This morning, we saw a doctor nearby who advised on cidaflox 100 and macfast syrup. But now, his fever is up to 102. What should I do?
Cidaflox-100: This is an antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin) that is often used for bacterial infections. Ensure that you give the full course as prescribed, even if the fever improves. Don't stop the medication early unless instructed by the doctor. Macfast Syrup: This is typically used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms or inflammation if the fever continues to rise despite medication, or if new symptoms develop (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, severe headache, or persistent pain), consult a doctor immediately. If your son experiences any side effects or signs of an allergic reaction to the medication (such as rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing), stop the medication and seek medical attention right away.Continue paracetamol as per the prescribed dosage for fever control. Ensure hydration and rest. Monitor symptoms regularly, especially if the fever persists or worsens. Consult the doctor if the fever does not respond to treatment, or if new symptoms develop.

I'm wondering about my baby's mundan ceremony. He's 4 months old right now. Is it okay to do the ceremony when he's 5 months, or should we wait longer for his head scalp to become harder? What do you recommend?
