I'm trying to figure out the right Lactogen 1 mix for my 3-week-old. Is it alright to use 2 scoops with 50ml of water?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 3-week-old infant, the recommended Lactogen 1 ratio is 1 scoop (8.5g) in 30-40ml of water; using 2 scoops in 50ml water may make the mixture too concentrated, potentially causing digestive discomfort,

View allI'm on the 11th day with chicken pox and all my blisters seemed to have scabbed over, but now I've noticed two new ones popping up. Should I be worried about this? Is it normal for new blisters to appear at this point?
It is not uncommon for new blisters to appear even after the initial ones have scabbed over. This does not necessarily mean that the chicken pox is returning. However, it is important to continue practicing good hygiene to prevent any potential complications.You should continue to take anti-virals and practice self isolation to prevent further spread of the virus.

I'm a bit worried. I've been using Eytex Kajal to put a bindi on my baby's forehead, and now there's a white spot appearing in that area. I also put a small kajal dot on her cheek, but there are no white spots there. Could you help me understand why this is happening and if there's any medication I can give my 5-month-old baby girl?
The white spot that has appeared on your baby's forehead may be a reaction to the ingredients in the kajal. It is possible that the skin on the forehead is more sensitive compared to the cheek, which is why the white spot only appeared in that area. I recommend stopping the use of the eyetex kajal on your baby's forehead to see if the white spot improves. You can apply a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion on the affected area to help soothe the skin. If the white spot does not improve or if it worsens, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my 2-year-old son. He had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and the doctor prescribed him 5ml of Advent twice a day. Now it's been about three weeks post-surgery, and today he's having really bad diarrhea and headaches. I've tried giving him oranges to help, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next?
Stop advent, diarrhoea is its side effect.
