Can I delay hydrocele surgery for non-verbal 19-month-old?
Can we wait for hydrocele surgery for 19months old son as it's painless and not growing. It will be difficult to manage him post surgery as he is non verbal. Also we think it may resolve on its own.

Answered on 12th June '24
Hydrocele is when fluid accumulates around the testicle and produce swelling in the scrotum. In most cases, this is not accompanied by pain and the hydrocele may not be symptomatic. Sometimes, hydroceles can resolve on their own without treatment. Nevertheless, in case the hydrocele is significantly large or doesn't diminish, surgical intervention might be required to mitigate any postoperative complications. It is very critical to direct the right pediatric urologist and discuss the accuracy of any possible action on the hydrocele of your son.

Answered on 8th June '24
Your daughter and your pet have been vaccinated so the chances of a serious infection are low. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or pain in the scratch. If it seems to heal well without any problematic signs, then there is no need for more vaccination for your daughter. Make sure that the wound is kept clean and observe any changes.

Why Won't My 1-Month-Old Baby Poop?

Answered on 6th June '24
It seems like the kid is constipated. This is when they find it hard to pass stool. It may be due to the type of formula they are taking or insufficient intake of fluids. You can give them some water in between feeds or massage their stomach gently to relieve the discomfort. If it persists, it would be best for you to take them to a doctor who can check for any underlying problems.

Is baby diagnosed with MCDK during ultrasound normal?
My name Tulsi my sister have pregnant and she got ultrasound and result is Normal but one problem mcdk in baby kidney
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 6th June '24
The doctor saw in an ultrasound that it had a Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK). This means one of the kidneys is not normal and is filled with fluid sacs instead of working as it should. Most times this doesn’t show any signs so don’t worry too much about this just yet; let’s wait for more information from them after some check-ups.
Can jaundice in a 6-month-old lead to liver failure?
My 6 months baby is suffering from jaundice since 4 months and it's leads to liver failure. Can this problem solves.....??
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 4th June '24
Jaundice in babies can occur when their liver is not working properly. This makes their skin and eyes turn yellow. Sometimes it may cause serious liver failure. You need to take your baby to a hepatologist for proper treatment. The physician may prescribe drugs, suggest changes in diet, or severe cases recommend liver transplantation. Ensure you adhere to what the doctor tells you to help your child feel better.

Why is my child suddenly getting face bruises?
Strange bruises show up on child's face out of the blue
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 3rd June '24
It's normal for kids to wake up with some facial bruises & not even remember how they got there. Most of the time it's because they bumped into something or got hurt while playing. But also, like, if your child is on certain meds or has certain health problems, bruises are more likely. If they don't go away or you get other signs of something weird going on in the child's body seek medical attention from a physician.

Will my baby recover from low oxygen level?
My baby was born on 15 May 2024 but his oxygen level was very low and he did not even cry. Now he is on ventilator support. It has been 5 days. Can you tell us whether the health of the baby will improve and what will happen next? What problems will the baby face? And how many days will it take for the baby to become mature?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 30th May '24
Low levels of oxygen at birth can cause a variety of problems. Ventilation support will be necessary to help the infant breathe. It’s a difficult time but with good care the baby’s condition should improve. There might be complications such as lung issues or delays in development. The baby will need more time to grow and mature than usual – usually about 40 weeks from when they were due for delivery.

Why isn't my 4-year-old speaking properly?
My daughter is 4 years old and still she is not talking properly. She sometimes talks but nobody understands what she speaks. It feels as if she is talking in some other language. Sometimes she speaks to herself. She repeats whatever she watches in the mobile or TV. What do you think could be the problem? I don’t think she has hearing problem then why is she not growing like regular kids. What do you think her condition is? Whom should I consult?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 29th May '24
Your daughter may have a speech delay. There could be different reasons for this. Sometimes the mouth muscles are still too weak. In other cases, the problem may be with hearing or some other condition underneath. It’s good to see a speech therapist. They’ll be able to evaluate her and offer suitable treatment that will help improve her speaking abilities.

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 28th May '24
Your daughter might be struggling with her height. Missing out on food and going to sleep early could be bad for her health. Kids need to eat well for growth. She could be lacking certain nutrients or having a sleeping pattern that affects how much she eats. You should take her to see a pediatrician who will advise you on proper feeding and healthy practices that help in growing up.

Why Is My Weight and Height Not Growing?
I AM YEAR OLD GIRL. MY WEIGHT IS 17.9 KG AND MY HEIGHT IS 121 CM. MY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT NOT GROWING WELL AS WELL AS I DO NOT HAVE SO MUCH HUNGRY. I FEEL TO SLEEPY AT 8 P.M EVERYDAY SO I CAN NOT CONTINUE MY STUDY AT NIGHT.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 27th May '24
My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.

Why is my baby congested and unsettled today?
Baby very unsettled not acting as he usually does / a lot of congestion in nose, crying more than usual and not passing as much poo as usual today
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 27th May '24
Your infant is suffering from either a cold or a slight infection. The stuffiness in their nose may obstruct breathing, thus causing more frequent crying spells. Such a condition can also bring about restlessness. Babies tend to have fewer bowel movements when they have a cold. Ensure that they take enough fluids and get additional sleep. You can relieve the congestion by using a nasal saline spray. However, should these signs continue or worsen, it is imperative to consult a pediatrician.

My husband is 67 years old. He has a problem of urination due to prostate enlargement. Doctor has suggested laparoscopic surgery
Samruddhi Bhartiya

Answered on 23rd May '24
If the doctor suggested laparoscopic surgery then it means that he has prostate cancer. This kind of surgery is carried out by making small 5 incisions as opposed to a traditional surgery which would necessitate a very large incision, it also uses a special kind of camera to invade the patient's body so that it can help doctors get a clear picture of the state of their internal organs. It's less painful and barely requires a stay of 1-2 days, but it will have its own set of side effects post surgery which would be solved with not lifting anything heavy, having adequate walk & rest, and being on a liquid diet. He would be eligible for same only if the cancer isn't aggressive or if he doesn't has a history of open or laparoscopic pelvic surgery. Average cost may come around Rs.3,60,000. There are some options available for this kind of organ specific cancer treatment. We pray for his faster recovery & healing!

I advise you to take your child to a doctor. Based on proper evaluation and diagnosis, the doctor will be able to determine whether the problem faced is due some underlying medical issue such as food intolerance, infection or some other reason. Based on that, treatment may be suggested which may include certain dietary and lifestyle changes, medications etc.
