I'm really concerned about my child who's under 12 and has been complaining of stomach pain. I heard about Anafortan injection with camylofin hydrochloride, but I'm not sure what the right dose would be for someone that young. Can you help me figure this out?

The dose of Anafortan injection (camylofin hydrochloride) for children below 12 years old with stomach pain is usually 0.5 mg per kg of body weight, given intramuscularly. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for the exact dosage based on the child's weight and condition.

My 11-month-old son's foreskin doesn't fully retract, but he pees fine. Will this fix itself over time or will he need surgery? If surgery is needed, can we wait a year or two?

Physiologic phimosis often resolves by age 5; surgery can be delayed if urination is normal.
