My 1-month-old son has a bigger belly button that's about 2 cm in height. Also, his right testicle sometimes swells up to almost double the size of the left one. The doctor says it might go away on its own within a year or else he'll need surgery. I'm really worried do these issues usually resolve by themselves?

A 2 cm umbilical hernia in a newborn usually resolves by itself within the first year, but if it doesn’t, surgery may be required. The testicular swelling should be monitored, but often resolves without intervention.

I'm really worried about my 9-year-old daughter. She fell down the stairs and hurt her back. It's swollen about 3 cm above the base of her spine, and she's complaining about pain in her knees, even though she didn't hit them. She also feels pain in her back when she lifts small things like her iPad. We've been using an ice pack on the swollen area, and she's lying on her belly right now. She can still walk and sit, but her back is very painful. The swelling is starting to go down a bit. I'm worried and not sure what to do next or what to watch out for. Could this lead to something serious? What should I be looking out for?

I'm wondering how much it usually costs for nebulization at a hospital for my baby. We need to do it twice a day for a whole week, and I'm not sure what to expect price-wise. Can you give me an idea?
Nebulization typically costs between 200 to 500 per session in hospitals, depending on the facility and location. If your baby requires it twice a day for a week, you might be looking at a total of 2800 to 7000 for the week, though prices can vary. I would suggest confirming with your hospital for more precise rates.
