I'm currently breastfeeding my 4-month-old baby and I've been experiencing really severe body aches and feel like I have a fever. Is it safe for me to take a paracetamol tablet while breastfeeding? I'm really concerned about how it might affect my baby.

View allMy 2-year-old daughter has had hydronephrosis in her right kidney since birth, and recent tests show only 44% function. The doctor recommended surgery, but I want to explore other treatment options first are there any medicines or alternatives? If surgery is the only option, what's better traditional or laser? Also, what would be the approximate cost?
Hydronephrosis with reduced kidney function (44%) in a 2-year-old typically indicates obstruction that may not improve with medications alone. Surgery is often the definitive treatment, and delaying it could risk further damage. Laser (minimally invasive) surgery is preferred for quicker recovery and less pain. Costs vary by hospital but may range from ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakh in India.

I'm really worried because my wife started taking Cabgolin 0.25 mg to stop breastfeeding our daughter, but now our little one isn't feeling well and is really upset, constantly asking for breast milk. We couldn't do much else, so my wife ended up breastfeeding her again. Is this going to be harmful to our daughter?
usually there are no such complications no need to worry

I'm really worried because my 7-year-old's platelet count just dropped from 172,000 to 130,000 in just a day, and on top of that, their WBC count shot up from 6,400 to 25,000. They're dealing with Dengue right now. Could this be risky? What's the threshold for platelet levels to become dangerous? What should we do?
This rapid change in blood counts indicates a worsening condition. In Dengue fever, a platelet count below 20000 is considered dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. I recommend immediate hospitalization for close monitoring and management. The child may require intravenous fluids, platelet transfusion, and other supportive care as deemed necessary by the healthcare provider. It is important to closely monitor the child's condition and follow the healthcare provider's recommendations for further treatment.
