Question 1

My 6-year-old son has been dealing with allergic bronchitis and it seems like he gets it frequently. He had a little bit of cold curd yesterday and now he's started coughing. I've been using a nebulizer for him and I remember his doctor once mentioned that it's okay to nebulize him every half hour if things get severe. I'm just worried though, is it really safe to do that or are there potential side effects I should be aware of? His father's side of the family does have a history of asthma.

Accepted Answer

yes you can nebulize every half an hour , of symptoms gets reduced then you can take

Question 2

My 1-month-old son has a bigger belly button that's about 2 cm in height. Also, his right testicle sometimes swells up to almost double the size of the left one. The doctor says it might go away on its own within a year or else he'll need surgery. I'm really worried do these issues usually resolve by themselves?

Accepted Answer

A 2 cm umbilical hernia in a newborn usually resolves by itself within the first year, but if it doesn‚Äôt, surgery may be required. The testicular swelling should be monitored, but often resolves without intervention.

Question 3

My toddler, whos 18 months old, has been passing pale yellow stool regularly. He has a slight cold right now, but even before the cold, his stool was the same color. He eats mung dal khichdi, Cerelac 4th stage, vegetable soup, and dal rice often. Should I be concerned about his stool color, or is this normal?
