My son has had a hydrocele for about a year now and sometimes complains of pain in his testicles when he plays or exercises Is there any way to treat this with medication instead of surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No, there are no medications to shrink or eliminate a hydrocele. If a hydrocele is not resolved on its own, surgery is the primary treatment option. However, if the hydrocele is associated with an infection or inflammation (like epididymitis), antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications might help address the underlying cause and potentially alleviate some associated pain and swelling.

View allMy baby's lips have started turning a blackish color over the last couple of days. She's eating normally, and everything seems fine in that department. However, she's passing liquid stool, and I'm concerned it might be related to the heat here. Could you provide some guidance on what might be happening?
It's good to hear that your baby is feeding well. Blackish lips can sometimes be due to dehydration or a lack of oxygen, but its important to monitor if this persists. The liquid stools could indeed be due to the heat; keep her well-hydrated, and if the symptoms continue or worsen, Id recommend a pediatricians consultation for a thorough checkup.

I'm a breastfeeding mom and my baby is just 2 months old. I've been wondering if drinking ginger tea is safe for my little one. If it is safe, how many cups would be okay for me to have?
if safe but take only one cup

I'm really worried about my 6-month-old son. It's been raining a lot, and he ended up with a cold. We didn't clean his ears properly, and we also kept a cap on him, which I think might have led to some pus in his ears. The pediatrician gave us Clavam Bid drops, and we're giving him 2.5 ml three times a day for a week. But now, on the second day of taking it, he's experiencing loose motions after drinking breast milk, and we're not feeding him any solids. What should we do?
