In some cases of hydronephrosis in baby boys, surgery may be necessary to address blockages or correct structural abnormalities that are causing the condition. The most common surgical procedure for hydronephrosis is pyeloplasty, which repairs a narrowed or obstructed ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). Other surgical options may include ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux or removal of obstructions like kidney stones or tumors

My 3-year-old, who weighs 13 kilos, has been experiencing vomiting and indigestion. I'm wondering what the right dosage of Emeset syrup would be for them. Could you guide me on this?

My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

My 3-year-old is very active but someone mentioned they might have tonsils. How can we treat tonsils without surgery since the baby seems fine otherwise?

Tonsils only need surgery if recurrent infections or breathing issues‚Äîmonitor and use home care if mild.
