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 allI'm really worried because the doctor mentioned that my daughter is allergic to climate change. We're currently giving her nebulization, but she's still coughing quite a bit. Is there anything else we can do to help her manage this?
It sounds like your doctor suspects an allergy triggered by changes in the weather, which can worsen symptoms like coughing. Nebulization should help with breathing, but if the coughing persists, it's important to follow up for additional treatments or medications to manage the allergy better.

My 3-year-old son has had a runny nose and viral fever frequently over the past two years. Weve been to the doctor, and they prescribed some meds, but they don't seem to be working. For his fever, they've given us Ibugesic, and for his cough and cold, they suggested something else. I'm really concerned, could you give us some advice on what else we might try or what could be going on?
It seems your son may have recurrent viral infections, which can sometimes be common in young children due to their developing immune system. I recommend discussing with your pediatrician about further investigations, such as assessing for allergies or other underlying conditions. In the meantime, maintaining good hydration, rest, and using prescribed medications as directed can help manage symptoms.

My child recently had a fever, so we took him to the child care hospital. They did some blood and urine tests, and the doctor told us everything was normal. However, I noticed that the neutrophil count in his WBC was quite low. The tested count came in at 12, whereas I believe the actual count should be around 1744. Should I be worried about these low neutrophil levels?
A low neutrophil count, also known as neutropenia, can make your child more susceptible to infections. In this case, since the tested count is 12% and the normal range is 17-44%, it is slightly below the normal range. To help increase the neutrophil count and boost your child's immune system, you can consider giving them supplements like Neupogen (Filgrastim) at a dosage recommended by the doctor. Additionally, ensuring your child maintains good hygiene practices and eats a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables can also help improve their immune system. It is important to follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of your child's neutrophil count to ensure it returns to the normal range. Regular check-ups and blood tests may be recommended to track the progress.
