My 3-year-old son was diagnosed with mild hydrocele with no hernia. The pediatrician referred us to a surgeon, and we have an appointment today. I wanted to know if surgery is the only option or if there are medications available too. Also, is it safe to wait a year or two until he's older for the surgery?

Usually 3 years is too late for conservative management. So most likely a survey will be required . However no medication are available to treat this condition

my aunt is scheduled for laparoscopic gallstone removal surgery tomorrow at 4 pm can she have something light like biscuits at 7 am or does she need to stay on an empty stomach until after the surgery
No, your aunt should not eat anything at 7 am. For laparoscopic gallstone removal surgery, patients typically need to be NPO (nothing by mouth) for a specific period before the procedure, usually around 6 hours. Since her surgery is scheduled for 4 pm, she will likely need to stop eating and drinking well before 7 am. It's crucial to follow the specific instructions provided by her surgeon and the hospital about fasting times.
