My baby boy is 9 months old and he's been having loose motions since last Friday. We saw a pediatrician who recommended giving him Nutrolin B twice a day and a Zinc Dry Powder Suspension once a day. Over the weekend, he had about 7 to 8 stools each day. Today, it's been 5 times so far. What's really worrying me is that his last 3 stools have been dark green in color. Should I be concerned about this? Do you think I should take him back to the pediatrician right away?

View allI'm really concerned about using Practin syrup for loss of appetite. Could it actually lead to side effects like hair loss, hair whitening, or even skin blackening? Is there any truth to these worries?

I'm really concerned about my son. He's having skin itching but there aren't any rashes. He's been scratching his head, arm, behind his neck, and foot, and there hasn't been any fever or infection recently. I've noticed his appetite seems to be increasing all of a sudden, and he sometimes complains of abdominal pain. I discovered white particles in his stool, but I did deworm him last month. Right now, he's on an antihistamine. This same kind of itching happened last year, and he was advised to take Banocide syrup along with the antihistamine, and it took almost a month to clear up. I'm really worried. What could be causing this, and what should I give him for the itching and abdominal pain?
Thats Urticaria,identify the allergen and avoid it,also visit dermatologist for appropriate management

My son has one testicle that hasn't descended and the doctor recommended surgery to remove the undescended one. Is there any homeopathic treatment that can help with this instead? We're based in Hyderabad and looking for alternatives before going for surgery.
While homeopathic remedies are available, they don't have a proven track record for treating undescended testicles. Surgery is generally recommended for this condition, and the sooner it's done, the better. orchiopexy, a surgical procedure to move the undescended testicle into the scrotum.
