My 6 months old son has been advised by his Pediatrician for TongueTied surgery. I wanted to understand that whether this is done by Surgeons or Pediatricians also can conduct this. How long is the surgical procedure and cost of it.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Tongue-tie surgery, or frenotomy/frenuloplasty, can be performed by both surgeons and pediatricians. The procedure is typically quick, lasting only a few minutes, and can be done in a doctor's office. The cost of the procedure can vary depending on the location and the chosen method, but in India, it typically ranges from 5,000 to 25,000 INR.

This Widal test report suggests that you may have a typhoid infection. The elevated titers for S Typhi 'O' (1160) and S Typhi 'H' (1180) indicate exposure to Salmonella Typhi. The report also shows some reactivity to S Para Typhi 'AH' and 'BH', which may indicate a past or concurrent Paratyphoid infection. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation and guidance.

My son accidentally drank some diluted Dettol a couple of days ago. I reacted quickly by brushing his teeth and making him drink a lot of water. Thankfully, he seems normal now and I haven't noticed any effects yet. Should I be worried about any side effects showing up later?
The oily substance you noticed could be due to: 1. *Excess sebum*: Anal glands produce sebum, which can mix with stool. 2. *Mucoid discharge*: The anus naturally produces mucus, which can appear oily. 3. *Dietary factors*: Consuming oily foods or supplements (e.g., fish oil) might contribute to the oily appearance. 4. *Gastrointestinal issues*: Certain conditions, such as malabsorption or pancreatitis, can cause oily stools. _When to be concerned_ 1. *Persistent or excessive oil*: If the issue persists or worsens. 2. *Other symptoms*: Diarrhea, abdominal pain, or blood in stool. 3. *Changes in stool color or consistency*: If stools become pale, greasy, or floating.
