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.

I'm wondering if it's okay to give levolin 1 mg syrup to my 8-month-old baby. He's been dealing with a dry khasi and sardi since yesterday, and I'm not sure if this medication is appropriate for his age. Is it safe to use levolin for such young infants, or should I be considering other options to relieve his symptoms? I'm worried and just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

Can I give my 10-year-old son the dynapar tablet more than three times a day for his ear pain? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

It's not safe to give Dynapar more than 3 times a day for a 10-year-old, as it may cause side effects like stomach irritation or kidney issues. Stick to the prescribed dosage, and if the pain persists, consult a doctor for further guidance.

My little one is 15 months old and she seems to catch colds really easily. At first, the doctor suggested using a steamer for hot steam, but I'm worried about her getting burned. Then, another doctor recommended using a nebulizer with saline water, which gives cold steam. I'm a bit confused. Which method would give her better relief, or do they both work the same way?

Both steam inhalation and nebulization with saline can help manage cold symptoms, Nebulization is typically safer
