I'm really worried about my 6-year-old who has this strange cough that sounds like barking, but there's no mucus involved. It's been more than five days now, and it gets worse at night, especially when she goes to bed, and sometimes it leads to vomiting. We've been giving her Maxtra, Arsinol, and Ziprox antibiotic syrup for five days, but she's still coughing a lot with that heavy sound. I'm not sure if this could be a dry cough from asthma, or maybe croup caused by a virus or bacteria. There's no cold, just the cough. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this?

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.

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.
