Question 1

My 4-month-old baby boy has redness and pus near the tip of his penis. He was diagnosed with hypospadias but surgery was postponed because of his age. What could be causing this infection and how can we manage it at home until he's old enough for surgery?

Accepted Answer

dermat opinion is advised.

Question 2

I'm wondering how much it usually costs for nebulization at a hospital for my baby. We need to do it twice a day for a whole week, and I'm not sure what to expect price-wise. Can you give me an idea?

Accepted Answer

Nebulization typically costs between 200 to 500 per session in hospitals, depending on the facility and location. If your baby requires it twice a day for a week, you might be looking at a total of 2800 to 7000 for the week, though prices can vary. I would suggest confirming with your hospital for more precise rates.

Question 3

My 5-month-old baby is having really bad loose motions, probably because of the antibiotics Advent that he's taking for ear pain. I'm giving him Enterogermina, but he's still having loose stools about 7 to 8 times a day. I'm really worried since he's so little, and the antibiotic course is still going on. What should I do to help him?

Accepted Answer

Fever for 4 days can be concerning.

_Parasitamol (Acetaminophen)_

1. _Temporarily relieves fever_: Parasitamol can help reduce fever, but it doesn't address the underlying cause.
2. _Not a cure-all_: While parasitamol can provide temporary relief, it's essential to identify and treat the underlying cause of your fever.

_Consult a Doctor_

1. _Prolonged fever_: Fever lasting more than 3-4 days requires medical attention.
2. _Underlying cause_: A doctor can help determine the cause of your fever, which could be a viral or bacterial infection, or another underlying condition.
3. _Cough and other symptoms_: Although your cough is rare, it's still important to mention it to your doctor, as it could be related to your fever.

_Please consult a doctor to_:

1. Determine the underlying cause of your fever.
2. Receive proper treatment and guidance.
3. Rule out any complications or underlying conditions.

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?

Sputum for AFB,microscopy, x-ray chest pa view,complete blood count,esr and C-reactive protein are advised to the patient.
