Question 1

I'm worried about my 11-month-old baby who weighs 9kg and has vomited twice. How much Calpol suspension should I give her? Is there any specific dosage I need to follow?

Accepted Answer

For an 11-month-old baby weighing 9kg, the recommended dosage of Calpol Suspension (containing paracetamol) is:

- 2.5-5 mL (60-120 mg) every 4-6 hours, as needed.

However, since your baby has vomited twice, consider the following:

- Consult your pediatrician before administering Calpol Suspension.
- Start with a small dose (2.5 mL or 60 mg) to check for tolerance.
- Monitor your baby's temperature and vomiting.
- If vomiting persists or worsens, seek medical attention.

Question 2

My child was born with penoscrotal hypospadias and delivered in a government hospital. The doctors recommended a two-stage surgery but I'm really worried since it's a complex procedure. Can you suggest a good private hospital in Chennai that specializes in hypospadias treatment and provides careful handling? I want to make sure my child gets the best care possible.

Question 3

I'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?

Accepted Answer

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.
