Accepted Answer

Administering nebulization with Asthalin (salbutamol) via a nebulizer is generally safe for babies when done correctly and under medical supervision; the recommended dosing schedule of 5 minutes of nebulization, followed by a 15-minute break, repeated for a total of 3 cycles, twice a day, is a common and effective regimen; however, it's essential to monitor your baby's heart rate and overall condition during and after nebulization, as salbutamol can increase heart rate and cause palpitations;

Accepted Answer

Ballooning of the penis during urination in uncircumcised males is a common condition known as phimosis. It occurs when the foreskin balloons out due to a tight foreskin that does not retract properly. This condition is usually not harmful and may improve with time as the child grows. However, if it persists and causes discomfort, topical steroid creams such as Betamethasone can be applied to help reduce inflammation and allow the foreskin to retract more easily. Ballooning of the penis itself does not typically damage the kidneys. If you have concerns about your son's condition, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
