I'm having trouble finding a place in Gurgaon where they give polio drops. We're keeping up with regular immunization like DPT, but I'm wondering if we also need to join these government polio drop programs. Is it necessary?

Since your child is already receiving regular immunizations, including DPT, they are likely protected against polio. However, participating in government-led polio drop programs can provide additional protection, especially since India is still at risk of wild poliovirus importation.
To find a place in Gurgaon where polio drops are administered, you can try contacting local health authorities or visiting the National Health Mission website for more information. Additionally, you can reach out to your child's pediatrician for guidance on polio vaccination and drops.

View allI've got a little one who's just turned 2 months and 15 days old, and I've heard something about giving babies vitamin D. Is it really necessary for my baby? Also, if it's needed, what other meds should I consider? I had a C-section, and my baby arrived a bit early at 8 months and 15 days, so I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Any advice on what might be good to take would be appreciated!

My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?
Normal Causes* 1. *Overproduction of cervical mucus*: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge. 2. *Ovulation*: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus. 3. *Hydration*: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Abnormal Causes* 1. *Yeast infection*: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor. 2. *Bacterial vaginosis*: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor. 3. *Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)*: Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge. 4. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Solution* To address the issue: 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches. 2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system. 3. *Use panty liners*: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment. 4. *Consult a doctor*: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
