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.

I'm really worried about my 16-year-old son who has a vitamin deficiency. He's been taking Supradyn tablets for a while now, but he's supposed to continue them for a few more months. We're not in the best financial situation, so I was wondering if Neurobion Forte could be a cheaper alternative. Would it provide the same benefits for his deficiency?
Yes, Neurobion forte can be a suitable alternative for vitamin deficiency. It contains essential B vitamins such as B1, B6, and B12 which can help in improving overall health and energy levels. The recommended dosage for Neurobion forte is one tablet per day. It can be a cost-effective option for your family considering your background.
