My 7-month-old daughter has labial fusion for the past 2 days. My wife cleans her daily but noticed the labia sticking together. She pees fine, but the doctor said it's from infection and prescribed clotrimazole vaginal gel and levofloxacin ornidazole suspension. We started the meds a day ago but no improvement yet. I read it's called labial adhesion should I be worried about surgery at her age? What else can we do?

View allI'm really concerned about my baby who's just 2 months old. My in-laws keep giving him a honey nipple whenever he cries at night. I'm worried he might be getting used to it or needs it to calm down instead of naturally settling. Could there be any side effects from him suckling on a honey nipple? And how can I help him break this habit if it's not good for him?

I'm worried because I noticed this white thembal thing on my baby's face. Is this some kind of infection, or could it just be normal for infants? What should I do to treat it?
It sounds like your infant may have oral thrush, which is a common fungal infection in infants. The best treatment for oral thrush in infants is usually an antifungal medication called Nystatin oral suspension. You can apply a small amount to the inside of your baby's mouth several times a day. It's important to continue the treatment for the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually around 7-14 days, even if the symptoms improve before then. Additionally, make sure to sterilize pacifiers, bottle nipples, and any other items that may come into contact with your baby's mouth to prevent reinfection.

I'm really concerned because my 7-month-old baby poops right after feeding. We're giving her a diet that includes cerelac and milk. Is it normal for her to poop so soon after eating, or is there something we should be worried about?
It is quite common for babies to have bowel movements after feeding, especially when they are consuming milk or cerelac. This is because the gastrocolic reflex is stimulated by the intake of food, leading to bowel movements. However, if your baby's stools are consistently watery, contain blood, or if your baby is showing signs of discomfort or distress, it is important to consult a pediatrician. In the meantime, you can try giving your baby Simethicone drops to help with any gas or discomfort. Remember to always consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.
