My 11-month-old was diagnosed with left PUJ obstruction and mild hydronephrosis. His split renal function is 62/38, and the doctor recommended surgery. Will his kidney function improve to normal after surgery, or are there other treatment options we should consider?

View allI'm really worried because Sidrah has been dealing with a cold and cough for the past three days. It's more of a wet cough. I've been giving her Relent plus for two days and started Asthakind DX yesterday. Could you give me some advice on how to help her get better?
She seems to be suffering from common cold which is a common type of nose and throat virus infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can continue giving medications. No specific treatment is really needed. Self medications are better avoided
