when is the best time to get surgery for a tongue tie issue in babies does this condition commonly happen at birth can you explain more about tongue tie problems
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The ideal time for tongue tie surgery, or frenotomy, in babies is generally recommended within the first few months, often during the first month of life. While some healthcare providers may prefer a "wait-and-see" approach, especially if the tongue tie is mild, early intervention can be beneficial for some babies, particularly if they are experiencing breastfeeding difficulties

View allMy son is 4 years old and he's been having this cough with mucus for a while. Every time he coughs, I can feel and hear the mucus in his lungs, but it just won't come out. It's really worrying me. Our doctor suggested giving him Montair LC Kid syrup for four days, and mentioned that if things don't get better, we'd have to try nebulization. When I looked up Montair LC, it seemed to be more for allergies or asthma. Is it really safe to give him this syrup, and will it actually help with the mucus in his chest?
Yes ,continue same treatment.

Im really worried about my 6-year-old daughter. Shes been running a high fever for the past two days. Our doctor recommended giving her both Calpol and Meftal-P, 6 ml each. Is it okay to administer both of these at the same time?
Yes, it is safe to give Calpol (paracetamol) along with Meftal P (mefenamic acid) for fever in children. Both medications work in different ways to reduce fever and can be given together as per your doctor's recommendation.

I'm really worried about my 6-year-old. He's been having these persistent hiccups for the past three days now. We took him to our regular doctor who didn't find anything wrong, but they just won't stop. He's still really energetic, playing, and eating just fine, but I'm starting to get concerned. Any idea what might be causing this or what we should do next?
Frequent hiccups in children are usually harmless, especially if your son is active and eating well. Persistent hiccups over three days, though, might need further evaluation to rule out irritants like acid reflux or other rare causes. Its worth consulting a pediatrician for a second opinion.
