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.

View allMy child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else? I'm really worried and could use some advice.
The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my 2-month-old son who's been on formula milk since birth. He recently got pneumonia and was hospitalized. Sometimes, I hear crackling sounds when he breathes, and I'm concerned there might be fluid in his lungs. Could it be a lung abscess? He's generally playful and feeds well, but sometimes he breathes fast after feeding. His chest seems fine most of the time, so I'm confused. Is lung abscess something that develops after chest congestion, or can it happen without any obvious congestion?

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?
