My child has been dealing with a cough for almost a year now, and we've tried multiple government hospitals, but nothing seems to be working. I can't afford private doctors or medication. Is there anything you suggest we can do?

My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?
Normal Causes* 1. *Overproduction of cervical mucus*: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge. 2. *Ovulation*: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus. 3. *Hydration*: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Abnormal Causes* 1. *Yeast infection*: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor. 2. *Bacterial vaginosis*: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor. 3. *Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)*: Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge. 4. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production. *Solution* To address the issue: 1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches. 2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system. 3. *Use panty liners*: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment. 4. *Consult a doctor*: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

My 2-month-old baby was diagnosed with moderate hydronephrosis in the left kidney showing a dilated renal pelvis and mild cortical thinning, possibly due to PUJ obstruction. The ultrasound showed the left kidney is 5.5x2.4 cm with a 14mm AP diameter of the renal pelvis and slightly reduced cortical thickness. The right kidney looks normal. Do you think surgery is needed or are there other treatment options we should consider first?
For a 2-month-old with moderate hydronephrosis due to a possible ureteropelvic junction (PUJ) obstruction, initial treatment often involves watchful waiting and monitoring, along with strategies to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Surgery may be considered if the condition worsens, kidney function is compromised, or if other complications arise
