I'm really curious about the pcv and rv vaccines for my 1.5-month-old baby. Are these vaccines essential at this age? I'm feeling a bit anxious, so any advice would be appreciated.

For a 1.5-month-old baby, the PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) and RV (Rotavirus Vaccine) are indeed recommended vaccinations.

  • PCV Vaccine Schedule: Typically administered in two primary doses at 6 weeks and 14 weeks, followed by a booster dose at 9-12 months of age.
  • RV Vaccine Schedule: Usually given in three doses at 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and 14 weeks.

It's essential to consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and to ensure your baby receives the necessary vaccinations on time.

My 7-month-old daughter has labial fusion for the past 2 days. My wife cleans her daily but noticed the labia sticking together. She pees fine, but the doctor said it's from infection and prescribed clotrimazole vaginal gel and levofloxacin ornidazole suspension. We started the meds a day ago but no improvement yet. I read it's called labial adhesion should I be worried about surgery at her age? What else can we do?

sx opinion is advised.
