I'm breastfeeding my baby who's 2.5 months old, and for the past four days, I've been dealing with a runny nose and cough. Can someone recommend a good medicine I can take?

My 1-month-old son has a bigger belly button that's about 2 cm in height. Also, his right testicle sometimes swells up to almost double the size of the left one. The doctor says it might go away on its own within a year or else he'll need surgery. I'm really worried do these issues usually resolve by themselves?

A 2 cm umbilical hernia in a newborn usually resolves by itself within the first year, but if it doesn‚Äôt, surgery may be required. The testicular swelling should be monitored, but often resolves without intervention.

Why do babies cry before sleeping?

Because babies have not yet learned how to get them to sleep so they seek out for help and their only form of expression is crying.

My 6-year-old started vomiting this morning right after drinking water, and now he's not able to eat much. By this afternoon, he's also complaining about stomach pain. I'm really worried. What could be causing this, and what should I do to help him feel better?

I recommend giving him syrup Ondansetron for vomiting, syrup Domperidone for stomach pain, and syrup Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid. These medications are commonly available in India and can help alleviate his symptoms.
