Question 1

I'm really worried because my two-year-old swallowed an apricot seed. Should I give him a banana or is there something else I should do? I'm not sure how to handle this.

Accepted Answer

Penile traction devices*: These are FDA-approved, non-surgical devices that may help increase penis length. However, results are generally modest (around 1-2 cm).
2. *Penile exercises*: Some exercises, like jelqing or penile stretching, may help improve blood flow and potentially lead to slight increases in penis length. However, these claims are largely anecdotal and not scientifically proven.
3. *Surgical options*: In some cases, surgical procedures like penile lengthening or enlargement may be considered. However, these procedures carry risks and are typically reserved for individuals with micropenis or significant penile trauma.

_Important Reminders_

1. *Be realistic*: Understand that significant increases in penis length are unlikely.
2. *Prioritize overall health*: Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and good mental well-being.
3. *Avoid unproven products*: Steer clear of products or supplements claiming to dramatically increase penis length, as they are often ineffective and may be harmful.

Question 2

I'm wondering if it's safe to use the old cough syrup and pain relief syrup for my toddler that we opened and used a bit of about 6 months ago. Should I be worried about its effectiveness or safety now?

Accepted Answer

Losartan (Losar 50) is typically taken once daily.

_Recommended Dosage Timing_

1. _Morning_: Take Losar 50 in the morning, with or without food, to help control blood pressure throughout the day.

_Why Morning?_

1. _Blood pressure control_: Morning dosing helps maintain blood pressure control during the day.
2. _Reduced nighttime effects_: Taking Losar 50 in the morning may minimize potential nighttime side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness.

_Previous Medication (Amlodipine 5)_

1. _Stopping medication abruptly_: Suddenly stopping Amlodipine 5 without consulting a doctor may lead to rebound hypertension.

1. _Monitor blood pressure regularly_: Regularly check your mother's blood pressure to ensure the medication is effective.

Question 3

My 3-year-old has been complaining about stomach pain for the past 30 minutes, pointing to their stomach. I tried giving them Pudin Hara, but it hasn't helped. They've never had this kind of pain before. For lunch, they ate dal made from raw gram. Could you advise on what I should do right away?
