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.

View allI'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days, and the pediatrician said it might be WALRI. We started him on clarithromycin and nebulizer treatments, and we're on day three now. When I check his SPO2 while he's asleep, I'm seeing it fluctuate between 89 and 92, and sometimes it jumps to 95 or 96. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about these fluctuations? What should I do next?

My baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?
Its not uncommon for babies, especially breastfed infants, to go for a few days without having a bowel movement. The milk of magnesia your doctor prescribed can help temporarily, but its important not to rely on it for long-term use. Keep monitoring your babys comfort, hydration, and feeding, and follow up with your doctor if the problem persists or if your baby seems to be in discomfort.

I'm really worried about my 3-and-a-half-year-old girl who's been having a dry cough for a week. Luckily, there's no fever or cold, but now there's this gur gur sound coming from her chest. Should I give her an expectorant or try nebulization? We have a prescription for Alex Jr. from the doctor, but I'm unsure if I should keep using it. It's tough to get to the hospital right now because of the lockdown and distance. What should I do?
Continue same treatment.
