I'm having trouble finding a place in Gurgaon where they give polio drops. We're keeping up with regular immunization like DPT, but I'm wondering if we also need to join these government polio drop programs. Is it necessary?

Since your child is already receiving regular immunizations, including DPT, they are likely protected against polio. However, participating in government-led polio drop programs can provide additional protection, especially since India is still at risk of wild poliovirus importation.

To find a place in Gurgaon where polio drops are administered, you can try contacting local health authorities or visiting the National Health Mission website for more information. Additionally, you can reach out to your child's pediatrician for guidance on polio vaccination and drops.

My 2-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with asthma, and I'm really worried because we've seen multiple pediatricians without much improvement. About a year ago, she started with a severe cough that lasted for around five months, and we treated her for just that before realizing it was asthma. Were currently giving her salbutamol and prednisolone, but I'm concerned about whether this is the best treatment plan or if there's something else we should consider. Could you offer any guidance or suggestions?

refrain from feeding your baby for 24 hrs and later you can feed,even if feed also there is no serious complications for the baby.

I'm really worried because my little one has been vomiting for 8 days now. We've already tried giving ceftriaxone injections, but it hasn't helped at all. What should I do next? I've run out of ideas, and it seems like nothing is working. Any guidance would be really appreciated.
