My 26-month-old son's penis head balloons when he pees but urine flows continuously without breaks. The ballooning only lasts about 10 seconds while he's urinating. He doesn't seem to be in pain or straining. Our pediatrician suggested circumcision, but due to our religious beliefs, our family is against it. We're really worried the doctor also mentioned trying to gently pull back the foreskin with oil or becnovet cream. My wife and I are stressed, especially since I had tight foreskin too as a teen and remember how uncomfortable it was. Is this ballooning a serious issue? We really want to avoid surgery if possible.

View allMy baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?
Its not uncommon for babies, especially breastfed infants, to go for a few days without having a bowel movement. The milk of magnesia your doctor prescribed can help temporarily, but its important not to rely on it for long-term use. Keep monitoring your babys comfort, hydration, and feeding, and follow up with your doctor if the problem persists or if your baby seems to be in discomfort.

I'm a bit worried about how safe it is to use a nebulizer for my baby. The doctor recommended using Astalin with a small sachet-like bottle for 5 minutes, then stopping for 15 minutes before using it again for another 5 minutes, and repeating this process three times in one session, twice a day. I'm really concerned if this could be toxic for my baby's heart.
Administering nebulization with Asthalin (salbutamol) via a nebulizer is generally safe for babies when done correctly and under medical supervision; the recommended dosing schedule of 5 minutes of nebulization, followed by a 15-minute break, repeated for a total of 3 cycles, twice a day, is a common and effective regimen; however, it's essential to monitor your baby's heart rate and overall condition during and after nebulization, as salbutamol can increase heart rate and cause palpitations;

How much Flexon syrup should I give my child who weighs 12 kilograms? Should I calculate the dosage like we do for paracetamol at 15ml per kg? I'm a bit confused about how to get this right for my little one.
-For a child weighing 12 kg, the dose of Flexon syrup should generally be calculated based on the recommended dose per kg, similar to how you calculate paracetamol. However, the exact dosage of Flexon syrup varies, so it's best to follow the instructions
