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.

I'm really concerned because whenever my kid cries, I've noticed the tears are kind of sticky but there's no pus. Could this be related to diabetes? I know that might sound strange, but I am a diabetic myself, and I'm just wondering if that could have anything to do with it. It's been worrying me a bit. What do you think?
