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.

View allI'm really worried about my son. He's been dealing with a cough and chest congestion for almost a month now. We went to see the doctor, and after a throat swab test, they said it's staphylococcus aureus, a type of gram positive cocci. Hes also not eating well these days and has lost about 2 kgs. What kind of treatment should we be looking at for this?
