View allI'm a bit concerned about my 4-month-old baby. He's up to date with all his vaccinations up to his 16-week mark. Could you let me know which vaccines hell need once he hits 6 months?
Persistent meatus swelling with unusual coloration. Given your treatment history and normal test results (urine routine & culture, ultrasound), consider the following possibilities: 1. _Chronic inflammation_: Prolonged inflammation might be causing the swelling and discoloration. 2. _Vascular anomalies_: Abnormal blood vessels could be contributing to the dark blue color. 3. _Meatus stenosis_: Narrowing of the meatus might be causing swelling and discomfort. Discuss the following with your surgeon: 1. _Biopsy_: To rule out underlying conditions like cancer or granulomas. 2. _Doppler ultrasound_: To evaluate blood flow and potential vascular anomalies. 3. _Alternative treatments_: Consider options like corticosteroid injections or topical creams to reduce inflammation. Seek a second opinion from a urologist if you're not satisfied with your current treatment progress.

I've just had wax removed from my five-year-old's ear yesterday, but now he's suddenly experiencing pain in one ear and can't sleep. I'm looking for any immediate solutions that might help him get some rest tonight. I'll be taking him to the doctor tomorrow, but what can I do for him right now?

I'm really concerned about my baby who's just 2 months old. My in-laws keep giving him a honey nipple whenever he cries at night. I'm worried he might be getting used to it or needs it to calm down instead of naturally settling. Could there be any side effects from him suckling on a honey nipple? And how can I help him break this habit if it's not good for him?
