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.

View allI'm really concerned about my son. He's having skin itching but there aren't any rashes. He's been scratching his head, arm, behind his neck, and foot, and there hasn't been any fever or infection recently. I've noticed his appetite seems to be increasing all of a sudden, and he sometimes complains of abdominal pain. I discovered white particles in his stool, but I did deworm him last month. Right now, he's on an antihistamine. This same kind of itching happened last year, and he was advised to take Banocide syrup along with the antihistamine, and it took almost a month to clear up. I'm really worried. What could be causing this, and what should I give him for the itching and abdominal pain?
Thats Urticaria,identify the allergen and avoid it,also visit dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm feeling pretty worried because my 6-month-old baby accidentally got a piece of paper in his mouth. I managed to get some of it out, but I'm not sure if he swallowed the rest or if it's still in there. What should I do now? Is there a chance it could cause any harm or should I just keep an eye on him for any symptoms?
Minors ingesting minuscule paper pass them through stools. If the child has any sort of choking, gagging, fast breathing please make sure to go to the local paediatrician.

my 3-month-old baby boy has severe left-sided hydronephrosis due to PUJ obstruction and the doctor recommended surgery. I'm confused between open and laparoscopic surgery which one is better for my baby and can you suggest the best doctor in Mumbai for this procedure
In some cases of hydronephrosis in baby boys, surgery may be necessary to address blockages or correct structural abnormalities that are causing the condition. The most common surgical procedure for hydronephrosis is pyeloplasty, which repairs a narrowed or obstructed ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). Other surgical options may include ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux or removal of obstructions like kidney stones or tumors
