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 11-month-old son's foreskin doesn't fully retract, but he pees fine. Will this fix itself over time or will he need surgery? If surgery is needed, can we wait a year or two?

Physiologic phimosis often resolves by age 5; surgery can be delayed if urination is normal.

I'm really concerned about my baby. A few days back, he had yellow fluid coming from his eyes and they seemed watery. The doctor suggested we use ciplox eye drops for five days, which cleared up the fluid, but now he's blinking a lot like his eyes are dry and he keeps rubbing them. I even tried massaging to open the blocked duct, and while the redness and fluid went away, his gaze seems off, like his vision might be blurry. And he also had a fever last week, which was relieved with macpod syrup, but his eye issue is still there. What should I do about it?

I'm really concerned about my son. He's been having a lot of irritation and redness on the tip of his penis, and it's been giving him trouble when he tries to pee for about two weeks now. I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to worry me. Could this be something serious? What should we do about it?
