For your 10-year-old son's hypospadias repair surgery in Kochi, you can consider consulting Dr. Mohan Abraham or exploring Aster Medcity. You can also check with Sree Sudheendra Medical Mission Hospital or Lourdes Hospital, as these facilities often have experienced pediatric urologists.

View allI'm just wondering about the right dosage for Zincovit tablets for a 10-year-old kid and for adults. And I'm also curious about the right dosage for Celin 500mg in both kids and adults. Is the Celin tablet chewable?
For Zincovit: - Children (10 years old): 1 tablet (containing 20mg zinc, 100mg vitamin C, and other multivitamins) once daily after meals, - Adults: 1-2 tablets once or twice daily after meals. For Celin 500mg: - Children (10 years old): 250-500mg (12 to 1 tablet) once daily, - Adults: 500mg (1 tablet) once daily. Celin 500mg tablets are not chewable; they should be swallowed whole with water.

I'm really worried because my 7-year-old's platelet count just dropped from 172,000 to 130,000 in just a day, and on top of that, their WBC count shot up from 6,400 to 25,000. They're dealing with Dengue right now. Could this be risky? What's the threshold for platelet levels to become dangerous? What should we do?
This rapid change in blood counts indicates a worsening condition. In Dengue fever, a platelet count below 20000 is considered dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. I recommend immediate hospitalization for close monitoring and management. The child may require intravenous fluids, platelet transfusion, and other supportive care as deemed necessary by the healthcare provider. It is important to closely monitor the child's condition and follow the healthcare provider's recommendations for further treatment.

Management of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) includes treatment of underlying infections as well, since AGE may be an atypical presentation of urinary tract infection (UTI).
