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

Is it okay to give Sizodon syrup to my 3.5-year-old who has autism? The doctor recommended it for his hyperactivity, and he's been on it for the past six months.

I'm really worried because the fever is stuck at 102-103 Fahrenheit since this morning. We went to the hospital, and the general physician prescribed antibiotics and DOLO, but the fever just won't go down. Do you think he might need a different diagnosis?
