vel - my doctor called up mentioning about this vaccine and yes its nasal spray that he mentioned. intha week en daughter-ku kudukkalam nu irukken.....as suganthi says prevention is better....i asked my doc if this will 'really' help - he says something is better always.....before monsoon it's good to try.....if your kid is cold prone, pl. go for it....

its for kids above 3 years... so you can give to anu...

you  and ur hubby also can take it...

prevention is better than cure.. !!!

Better go with Paed's advice Vel.

My Paed has adviced for H1N5 influenza virus inj. for my kids,he said it'll be better to give them if they have more attacks of cold.It'll be available arnd September.

Even i have plans to go this Saturday..already she has caught with cold....2 days back thaan poi x-ray,heamogram and monotax test ellam eduthutu vandhom...then my doctor said abt this nasal dosage..but indha cough pona she will give that nu sonanga..

consult ur pediatrician Vel

naraye vishayam therinjuthu!!!1

even i go vth amala.. my brother is a paed doc  he said no for this as it is not that much effective... but doctrs differ in opinions.. my local pad has asked me to adminster.. iam totally confused.. finally i dropped this idea... but if u hve many cases in pune.. u can think abt it.. kids visheyamm we vl be concerned... gather more details from ur paed and proceed vel..

wht ever ur paedi says .. th other day wen i went to gynaec to get cervical cancer vaccination (for myself).. i saw swine flu vaccination to come soon ..

so sooner or later .. every one will get vaccinated .. so don worry

n my friends in US .. ve already got vaccinated (kid of 3 years)

Yeah Sangi...even my sis's kids got vaccinated in US...now swine flue vaccine is available in Pune but also in lesser quantities...

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she  can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
