I'm really worried because my 5-year-old has been having loose motions since yesterday. We have Econorm sachets at home, but I'm not sure about the right dosage for her. Could you advise me on how much I should give her?

View allI'm a bit anxious about my baby boy who's almost 4 months old. He's been having frequent small bowel movements, and I've been giving him Bifilac sachets to help. Is it okay to keep using Bifilac regularly? Is it safe for him?
While Bifilac is generally considered safe for infants, long-term or repeated use without medical supervision can lead to an imbalance of gut flora or dependency on probiotics; consult your pediatrician before continuing Bifilac sachets, as they may recommend alternative probiotics, dietary changes, or investigate underlying causes of frequent small motions

Is it okay to take Montek LC for a whole month? My doctor told me to, but I'm breastfeeding and just want to make sure it's safe.
Very low levels of montelukast appear in breastmilk. Montelukast is approved for use in children as young as 6 months of age and has been used in neonates in dosages far greater than the amounts in breastmilk. Amounts ingested by the infant would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants No special precautions are required.

My 2-year-old daughter has had hydronephrosis in her right kidney since birth, and recent tests show only 44% function. The doctor recommended surgery, but I want to explore other treatment options first are there any medicines or alternatives? If surgery is the only option, what's better traditional or laser? Also, what would be the approximate cost?
Hydronephrosis with reduced kidney function (44%) in a 2-year-old typically indicates obstruction that may not improve with medications alone. Surgery is often the definitive treatment, and delaying it could risk further damage. Laser (minimally invasive) surgery is preferred for quicker recovery and less pain. Costs vary by hospital but may range from ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakh in India.
