View allI'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?

I'm trying to understand my daughter's situation better. Her platelet count was 2.55 lakh on the 22nd of September. Today it dropped to 1.85 lakh, though her fever's reduced, and she's still on medication. Is her platelet count within normal range? Could you explain what this means for her health?
A normal platelet count ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs per microliter (L); your daughter's current platelet count of 1.85 lakhs is within the lower normal range, which is a good sign, especially since her fever has subsided; however, it's essential to continue monitoring her platelet count and overall health under the guidance of her healthcare provider to ensure the underlying condition is being effectively managed.

My 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.
