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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Tonsils only need surgery if recurrent infections or breathing issues—monitor and use home care if mild.

View allI'm really worried about my 6-year-old. He's been having these persistent hiccups for the past three days now. We took him to our regular doctor who didn't find anything wrong, but they just won't stop. He's still really energetic, playing, and eating just fine, but I'm starting to get concerned. Any idea what might be causing this or what we should do next?
Frequent hiccups in children are usually harmless, especially if your son is active and eating well. Persistent hiccups over three days, though, might need further evaluation to rule out irritants like acid reflux or other rare causes. Its worth consulting a pediatrician for a second opinion.

My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?
Normal Causes* 1. *Overproduction of cervical mucus*: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge. 2. *Ovulation*: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus. 3. *Hydration*: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Abnormal Causes* 1. *Yeast infection*: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor. 2. *Bacterial vaginosis*: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor. 3. *Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)*: Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge. 4. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Solution* To address the issue: 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches. 2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system. 3. *Use panty liners*: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment. 4. *Consult a doctor*: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
