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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allMy kid is 4 years old and he's still not talking as much as I'd expect. I've been to the pediatrician, and he recommended two syrups called Forts B and Neotoserum. I've been giving them to my child for the past six months, and while I've noticed some improvement, he still isn't understanding everything and can't always reply properly. What else should I be doing?
Nipple Discharge: Normal or Abnormal? _Normal Reasons:_ 1. *Hormonal fluctuations*: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can cause nipple discharge. 2. *Stimulation or squeezing*: As you've experienced, squeezing or stimulating the nipples can cause a clear discharge. 3. *Pregnancy or breastfeeding*: Hormonal changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding can lead to nipple discharge. _Abnormal Reasons:_ 1. *Galactorrhea*: A hormonal imbalance can cause spontaneous nipple discharge, often accompanied by other symptoms like irregular periods or infertility. 2. *Prolactinoma*: A benign tumor in the pituitary gland can cause an overproduction of prolactin, leading to nipple discharge. 3. *Breast cancer or other tumors*: In rare cases, nipple discharge can be a symptom of breast cancer or other tumors.

My baby girl just turned 4 months old and started her 5th month. Our pediatrician suggested we start her on solids. I'm wondering what the best solids are to begin with at this age. I've already made some ragi malt and boiled rice kanji at home. What's the best way to prepare kanji for my baby? Is it okay to add formula or expressed breast milk to it? If I introduce solid food once a day, how many milk feeds should she still have? What other solids would be suitable for her age? I'm also curious about the best way to feed her ragi kanji. She really doesn't like palada. Would using a bottle, cup and spoon, or sipper be better for her? I'd appreciate some guidance.

I'm concerned about my three-year-old son. I gave him this medicine called Macpod 50, and I'm noticing that his lips are getting bigger. Can you help me understand why this might be happening?
As you have mentioned that your three-year-old child's lip portion is getting big after taking Macpod 50, this could be a sign of an allergic reaction to the medication. Macpod 50 is a brand name for Cefpodoxime, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections. In some cases, allergic reactions to antibiotics can manifest as swelling of the lips or other parts of the body. I recommend stopping the medication immediately and contacting your child's healthcare provider. They may prescribe an antihistamine to help reduce the swelling and provide further guidance on how to manage the allergic reaction.
