I'm really worried because my niece accidentally swallowed a coin yesterday. We had an x-ray done, and it showed that the coin is now in her stomach. The doctor advised us to just wait, but today she went to the bathroom and passed stool, and the coin still hasn't come out. She's acting normally and doing all her usual activities, which is a relief, but I'm still concerned. Should I be doing anything else, or when should I be worried?

View allMy son has had a hydrocele for about a year now and sometimes complains of pain in his testicles when he plays or exercises Is there any way to treat this with medication instead of surgery
No, there are no medications to shrink or eliminate a hydrocele. If a hydrocele is not resolved on its own, surgery is the primary treatment option. However, if the hydrocele is associated with an infection or inflammation (like epididymitis), antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications might help address the underlying cause and potentially alleviate some associated pain and swelling.

Since your baby's temperature is slightly elevated, it's crucial to monitor their overall health. Ensure your baby is well-hydrated by breastfeeding or formula feeding as usual. *Possible Causes:* - _High metabolic activity_: Babies have a higher metabolic rate, which can cause their heads to feel hotter . - _Infection or illness_: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out any underlying infections or illnesses. *Next Steps:* 1. *Monitor temperature*: Continue to check your baby's temperature regularly. 2. *Hydrate*: Ensure your baby is well-hydrated. 3. *Consult a pediatrician*: Schedule a
