I stopped breastfeeding and my breast milk dried up completely . Its been a month and a half. Do you think it’s possible to start again? In brief: Possibly

If you work with a breast feeding coach and your OBGYN they can sometimes re-start lactation with a combination of your work & hormone manipulation.

It is sometimes done for mothers of Premi's after a long neo unit stay.

Is the birth control pill still effective if it gets stuck in your throat? In brief: Stuck ?

If you can drink fluids & they go down easily you don't have a pill lodged in your throat.

You may have an irritated area that feels that way, but with normal fluid flow it is not. If your pill never reaches the intestines, for any reason,it would not add hormone to your system & thus might fail.I suppose you would be in an ER getting your throat scoped if it had a real foreign object stuck in it ...See more

Is low fat milk okay for my two year old baby weighing 10kg? In brief: I wouldn't

The average 1 yo weighs ~10k and a 2 yo another 2k+.

If the kid is average length it would appear he is underweight for size. A kid with a normal weight for length would usually be able to go to skim at 2, but without more information I cannot suggest it. ...See more

At night my nose gets stuffed up, my throat sore, and it gets difficult for me to breathe. i dont have any allergies, dont smoke. could it be anxiety? In brief: Likely environmental

I would look into what is different at night.

Is this some form of environmental irritant in your surroundings ? A plug in emitting a perfume, cooking odors, etc.? Once your nose is congested you mouth breathe and dry out your airway and throat. You are reasonably concerned it might be some problem but that type of anxiety is normal. ...See more

12 week old baby. runny/stuffy nose, wet cough. Giving Prospan, Illiadin jr, calpol, vicks jr rub. Is this sufficient to prevent hospitalization? In brief: Might make it worse

At that age they are more sensitive to environmental irritants like dust or fumes which trigger nasal congestion & cough.

Cough medicines are worthless. Vicks produces fumes which often makes it worse. A good nasal wash out with saline and removing irritants works best. ...See more

Vision very blurry tonight, want to know how to tell if blood sugar is high or low without a tester. so i can treat for low or high. ? In brief: Get a tester

So, you have diabetes and are trying to control it.

Very good. However, without a tester( Glucometer) you are flying blind. There are coupons that help with the cost( Diabetic Association). Blurry vision can be a sign of high sugar but we have the technology to know much more accurate measures. Best of luck. ...See more
