My son had some beetroot rice this afternoon, and now his urine has turned a pinkish color 34 times. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Don't worry, the pink color in your son's urine is likely due to the betalains, a pigment found in beetroot, which can temporarily change urine color; this condition is harmless and should resolve on its own within 24 hours as the pigment is excreted from the body.

View allI'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.

My baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?
Its not uncommon for babies, especially breastfed infants, to go for a few days without having a bowel movement. The milk of magnesia your doctor prescribed can help temporarily, but its important not to rely on it for long-term use. Keep monitoring your babys comfort, hydration, and feeding, and follow up with your doctor if the problem persists or if your baby seems to be in discomfort.

My 2-year-old has been having a fever for the past 4 days. We went to the doctor, and he prescribed noble plus and zifi 50, but for the last couple of nights, I've noticed his head gets really hot while the rest of his body stays cold. What could this mean?
Your child may be experiencing fever spikes, where the temperature rises significantly in certain parts of the body. This can sometimes happen during the course of an infection. The medications prescribed by the doctor are noble plus (Paracetamol) for fever and zifi 50 (Cefixime) as an antibiotic. Make sure to give the medications as per the prescribed dosage and frequency. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
