I'm a bit concerned about my 4-month-old baby. He's up to date with all his vaccinations up to his 16-week mark. Could you let me know which vaccines hell need once he hits 6 months?

Persistent meatus swelling with unusual coloration.

Given your treatment history and normal test results (urine routine & culture, ultrasound), consider the following possibilities:

  1. Chronic inflammation: Prolonged inflammation might be causing the swelling and discoloration.
  2. Vascular anomalies: Abnormal blood vessels could be contributing to the dark blue color.
  3. Meatus stenosis: Narrowing of the meatus might be causing swelling and discomfort.

Discuss the following with your surgeon:

  1. Biopsy: To rule out underlying conditions like cancer or granulomas.
  2. Doppler ultrasound: To evaluate blood flow and potential vascular anomalies.
  3. Alternative treatments: Consider options like corticosteroid injections or topical creams to reduce inflammation.

Seek a second opinion from a urologist if you're not satisfied with your current treatment progress.

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 concerned because my 7-month-old baby poops right after feeding. We're giving her a diet that includes cerelac and milk. Is it normal for her to poop so soon after eating, or is there something we should be worried about?

It is quite common for babies to have bowel movements after feeding, especially when they are consuming milk or cerelac. This is because the gastrocolic reflex is stimulated by the intake of food, leading to bowel movements. However, if your baby's stools are consistently watery, contain blood, or if your baby is showing signs of discomfort or distress, it is important to consult a pediatrician. In the meantime, you can try giving your baby Simethicone drops to help with any gas or discomfort. Remember to always consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.
