My daughter is 4 years old, she sweats a lot more than normal during summers. Infact, she sweats a lot more than a normal adult. Is this normal? What is the best remedy?

Ans: Excessive sweating could be a hereditary issue. Ask her pediatrician to check the heart for any abnormalities. A blood test to rule out hyperthyroidism and low calcium level may be advised. If all normal then application of talcum powder helps. Once older, other preparations are available to reduce it.

What are the foods we must avoid to control acidity? Is lack of sleep one of the big reasons for acidity? Does non veg food cause more acidity than veg? Thank you

Ans: Avoid high fat and sugar foods, fries, spices, chocolates, garlic, raw onions, coffee (caffeine) as these are triggers for acidity. Restrain from soft drinks, fruit juices, alcohol which would add to your fat percentage and act as triggers for acidity. Reduce the total consumption of fat in the diet. Lack of sleep does cause gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). As non veg food contains high fat levels, it may cause heart burn especially if consumed in large quantities.

My mother has been suffering from non-stop coughing all night since the last 10 days. Is it because of the viral fever currently going on in Mumbai or could it be some infection? What could be the possible line of treatment? She has completed one course of antibiotics and is now taking cough syrups and other tablets.

Ans: Kindly check if there were any new medications changed in the last two weeks with respect to high blood pressure, or for heart issues, can cause dry cough.
If that's not the case then keep giving her warm sips of fluids, early dinner, no oily or spicy food. She would feel better

Do you expect home loan rates to go down in the near future? Or do we expect more hikes this year? Thanks

Ans: Hi Harish, considering inflation around, Repo rates will be on a upward move for a while and then may remain at the sane level. But rate cut is not seen in near future. This is my belief. So home loan rates too will bahave exactly like Repo rate.

My Daughter is 4 years old. I give her milk twice a day with Pediasure powder one spoon each other. Is it safe to give pediasure twice daily? Thanks

Ans: My observation with Pediasure is that it leads to weight gain. So if your daughter is underweight then it is fine. But if she has weight which is above average then give it just once.
