I'm really concerned about my 10-month-old who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Is it safe for me to continue breastfeeding him? And is it okay to give him a bath while he's sick with this disease?

Yes, it is safe to continue breastfeeding your 10-month-old baby even if they have hand, foot, and mouth disease. In fact, breast milk can provide important nutrients and antibodies to help your baby recover faster. Yes, it is okay to bathe a baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Keeping the baby clean can help prevent secondary infections. Just make sure to pat the skin dry gently after bathing to avoid irritating any blisters.

View allI'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 about my baby. A few days back, he had yellow fluid coming from his eyes and they seemed watery. The doctor suggested we use ciplox eye drops for five days, which cleared up the fluid, but now he's blinking a lot like his eyes are dry and he keeps rubbing them. I even tried massaging to open the blocked duct, and while the redness and fluid went away, his gaze seems off, like his vision might be blurry. And he also had a fever last week, which was relieved with macpod syrup, but his eye issue is still there. What should I do about it?

I'm really concerned because my mom, my 17-month-old son, and I ate a mango that had these white maggot-like worms in it. My mom and I ended up vomiting afterward, and we even saw some of the worms still moving. I'm really worried about whether this could have any effects, especially on my son. Can you offer any advice on what I should do?
The worms you are describing may be parasitic worms that can cause health issues. You should consult a healthcare professional to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can consider taking Albendazole 400mg tablet as a deworming medication for adults. For your 17-month-old son, you can give him Albendazole suspension in a dosage appropriate for his weight. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare professional.
