My 5-month-old baby has been diagnosed with PUJ obstruction in the left kidney and needs pyeloplasty surgery. Can you suggest the best hospitals in India for this procedure and what the estimated cost might be? I'm really worried about finding the right place for my little one's surgery.

My 1-month-old son has a bigger belly button that's about 2 cm in height. Also, his right testicle sometimes swells up to almost double the size of the left one. The doctor says it might go away on its own within a year or else he'll need surgery. I'm really worried do these issues usually resolve by themselves?

A 2 cm umbilical hernia in a newborn usually resolves by itself within the first year, but if it doesn‚Äôt, surgery may be required. The testicular swelling should be monitored, but often resolves without intervention.

How long do fevers last?

Fever is just a symptom of any underlying bacterial or viral infection and so, duration of fever depends on that particular causative organism. Usually, most fevers usually go away in 1 to 3 days in adults.

my 6-month-old baby has undescended testicles on both sides - is there any way to treat this without surgery or will he need an operation? I'm really worried about putting him through surgery at this age

For undescended testicles in a 6-month-old, surgery is typically recommended if the testicles haven't descended on their own by that age. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, leaving them undescended can increase the risk of future health problems
