Is ultrasound showing mild hydrocephalus concerning?
Hi doctor,
My present ultrasound is showing mild hydrocephalus with breech presentation (36 weeks) dilated 13 mm ventricle. No genetic disorder was reported earlier in the second trimester. All the previous ultrasound showed normal and sound growth of the fetus. I had no past problem conceiving my first baby. Reports are attached for your reference. Thank you.

What can be done to manage scalp ringworm in a 5-year old?
Hello doctor,
My 5-year-old daughter has scalp ringworm. I am using head and shoulders intense medicated shampoo and topical 2% Ketoconazole antifungal cream. Her doctor also prescribed an oral antifungal Lamisil packets granules 125 mg to be taken in food for a month. I am terrified of giving my 5-year-old daughter an oral medication with such a scary track record or side effects including liver failure and death as well as vision problems, low white blood cell count, and psychiatric problems. Is there any alternative to this terrifying drug for curing scalp ringworm?

My USG of showed big head with mild prominence. What to do?
Hi doctor,
My earlier ultrasound mentioned a big head in the baby. But, my present ultrasound done in 36 weeks says a big head with mild prominence of bilateral lateral ventricles. My radiosonologist did confirm a big head but on part of hydrocephalus, she was not sure. I have attached the report for your feedback.

How to identify the cause for skin allergy in a child?
Hi doctor,
My daughter was born six months ago with a weight of six pounds. Her current weight is approximately ten pounds now. From 3rd month of her age, she has got skin problem. We started formula feeding along with breastfeeding at that time. She got skin redness and some sort of problem in her cheek. We have visited pediatrician and he proposed not to worry about that and asked me to use baby milk cream. Nowadays we find that the problem has spread all over her face. It cannot be found in the picture as it is taken just after applying baby cream. Her face has been washed with lukewarm water in the morning and night. And again we are confused with her nutrition. Please provide us good and healthy diet plan that can be taken routinely for her healthy life. Thank you.
