Facts- Height is predominantly decided by genetics. Undernutrition will obviously prevent the child from reaching his/her height potential. Overnutrition will cause obesity, secretion of Leptin, a spurt in height, precocious puberty, and cessation of height growth earlier than the peers. So, final height will still be as per the genetic potential. The paediatricians and other doctors who should be advising you to give good food to your child and persist towards healthy eating habits are encouraging you to take short cuts and gas lighting you.

Children who are telling their parents that they haven't grown tall because they have not been given Pediasure will now say they haven't grown tall because their parents have not given them Gritzo super milk!  These milk powders are not recommended by any academy of paediatricians, especially below 5 years of age, and they are also very bad for the teeth. I wish NMC takes action on these doctors endorsing products and misleading parents!

ASHWAGANDHA CAN CAUSE LIVER INJURY IF USED FOR PROLONGED PERIODS, AND THERE ARE MANY CASE REPORTS AMONG ADULTS. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LONG TERM STUDIES WITH THE USE OF ASHWAGANDHA IN CHILDREN. I WONDER HOW THESE DOCTORS ARE PROMOTING THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT CARING WHETHER THE SAFETY PROFILE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED OR NOT, FOR THE CHILD!?

Is there anybody gaining something from the misleading marketing? Yes. The doctors and the influencers who are getting paid in lakhs!

An important point I missed out- please teach the children how to behave with animals, and do not leave your toddlers unattended near a pack of dogs. Tell them to inform you even if there is the slightest scratch.
Try to have community feeding areas. Try and get the dogs sterilized and vaccinated as per the schedule. Together, we can make it safe for everybody. Some love, some commitment, follow up with the authorities, and  awareness is what is needed.

Do I give whey protein powder to my child?
Not necessary, and potentially harmful. Too much protein can put pressure on the kidneys and liver.They can cause dehydration, indigestion, and kidney stones. It's better the child gets used to eating real food from the plate rather than gulping down whey protein.
What if a paediatrician prescribes it for a medical condition?
Select a good whey concentrate made for kids with the least number of ingredients, and no added sugars and artificial sweeteners. It's better it is spread over the day, and the child eats it than drinks it. Ensure good hydration. If you select the one made for adults, you may inadvertently end up giving more protein than that is recommended. 
If there is lactose intolerance or animal milk protein allergy, discuss further with the paediatrician and the dietician, and proceed.

A child 14 years of age is telling his friends that he hasn't become tall because his parents have not given him pediasure or whey protein powders! That is the kind of influence the influencer doctors doing paid promotions, and the other influencers are having on the children. I really wish influencers/educators stick to ethics and not mislead children that these powders will make them grow tall!

Who gave you medical degree? Learn English! You do not know about biomarkers, nutrition, data etc. You are ignorant, fear mongering, misleading, irresponsible. Even hypothyroidism can cause raised creatinine. Whey protein is nothing but water left after making paneer. Learn to pronounce creatinine. It is ok to indulge kids in whey protein.

All these comments after my reel warning parents about the trend among teenagers and young adults to overload themselves with protein and cheap protein powders. More than 2 grams/ kg/day is not recommended by any medical body.  For a sedentary adult, it is 0.8 g/kg/day. If the adult is above 40 years, it is 1 to 1.2 g/kg/day. If the adult is exercising regularly, it is 1.1 to 1.5 g/ kg/day. For those into lifting weights and training for endurance, it is 1.2 to 1.7 g/kg/day. We are not talking about obese individuals trying to lose weight, about individuals into body building competitions, and competitive sports. Excessive protein can tax the kidneys and the liver, can dehydrate, can cause kidney stones, and can tilt the balance and cause CKD in those predisposed to Kidney disease.

It has been my observation with some teenagers and even young adults, an obsession with protein, so much so that they are eating much more than the recommended upper limit and landing up with creatinine values of 1.4 to 1.5 mg/dl. Again, I am not talking about those taking creatine supplements. This is something we have to be careful about. We need to definitely check other biomarkers and measure GFR for these kids and guide them right. Moderation is the key. Do not overload! Do not deprive! This is not some study/data collection. This is my observation. Anything too much is not good! 

When you do need protein powder supplement, select it wisely. Select one with no added sugars, artificial sweeteners, stimulants etc., something you are not allergic/intolerant to. Eat it than drink it. Read the label properly. ENSURE GOOD HYDRATION.

Has your baby been given an expired vaccine by mistake? Do not panic! No harm is going to come to your baby! If it's a live vaccine, it has to be repeated after 4 weeks. If it's an inactivated vaccine, it can be repeated the same day too. To minimize human error, I ask my assistant to check first, I check next, and then the parent checks. I request all paediatricians to follow this protocol, and all parents to check the expiry date.

 Anaphylaxis(serious adverse reaction) to vaccines is extremely rare, but still, paediatricians need to be prepared for it. So, please keep adrenaline ready always. We may not encounter this scenario in our life time, but let us always be prepared!

Rabies is fatal. Make sure your child gets the vaccine in the thigh or in the shoulder based on the age. No vaccine is to be administered in the buttocks. It has a high chance of being ineffective if administered so.

Do not go by the misleading videos being circulated where vaccines are being given at the wrong sites and very quickly just to show off to the followers that child is happy. Vaccines have to be given slowly with the needle length being appropriate and at appropriate sites.
Antibody injection at the wound site, is needed for category 3 bites as per WHO guidelines and for all bites/scratches as per CDC guidelines (asap, but atleast within 7 days of the 1st dose of the vaccine). If multiple bites are there, the calculated dose of the antibody has to be diluted with Normal Saline and be administered at all the sites of bite. If the child had received anti Rabies vaccine (complete schedule), he won't need anti Rabies vaccine again for 3 months even if there is a bite. After 3 months, if there is a bite/scratch, he has to be given only 2 doses of the vaccine, and not the antibody.
*CATS, CATTLE, HORSES, BATS, MONKEYS  CAN GET RABIES, AND BITES/SCRATCHES BY THEM CAN CAUSE RABIES TOO.
TEACH THE KIDS HOW TO BEHAVE WITH THE DOGS, AND ALSO TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE SLIGHTEST SCRATCH. ONE OF OUR SENIORS, A DOCTOR VISITING INDIA FROM THE US, HAD A SLIGHT SCRATCH BY A DOG, AND PASSED AWAY THREE MONTHS LATER BECAUSE OF RABIES. DO NOT IGNORE THE SLIGHTEST SCRATCH! WASH THOROUGHLY FOR 15 MINS WITH SOAP AND WATER, AND VISIT THE DOCTOR.

I am not endorsing the SC ruling. WHO guidelines are ideal, but they are not working in India, the reason most probably being the officials not showing enough commitment. Seeing children mauled head to toe is traumatic for us paediatricians, and imagine the plight of the child and the parents! SC didn't order mercy killing but relocation to shelter homes. Correct me if I am wrong. There is this reel by an educator I really like, about herd immunity, which is not exactly right, and one dose of vaccine doesn't really offer the dog good protection from rabies. So, the guidelines hv to be made keeping all these in mind. Can't allow kids to get mauled to death. I am not against dogs at all. Infact, some people from my community hate me for working with the dog lover community towards adoption of the strays. If the authorities had done their job of sterilization and vaccination of dogs  diligently over the years, India would have been in a better position with regard to this serious matter. 2025-08-13 12:00:57 #straydogs #rabies #supre.. 2,420 +67% 0 -100%

When I asked parents not to get misled by influencers and doctors endorsing jaggery containing milk mixes as sugar free, there was a lot of resistance! I was even accused of promoting Cerelac and Bournvita! 
When I asked parents not to give honey with Balprashan/Suvarnaprashan till 1st birthday because of the risk of Infantile botulism, there was a lot of resistance. Please understand that Clostridium botulinum spores can get killed only at very high temperatures of 121 to 130 degrees centigrade.

Most of the cases of severe Dengue are due to something called capillary leak. Correct hydration is the key to managing Dengue. Platelet transfusions are needed only when the count is less than 10000 per mm3 or less than 20000 per mm3 with bleeding manifestations. There is something called macrophage activation syndrome which may need certain IV medications. Papaya leaves or their extracts have absolutely no role in Dengue. They may worsen the condition if u give them when the person is very sick.There are absolutely no medicines to prevent Dengue. Vaccine gas not yet been approved in India.

Thank you foodpharmer (Revant)! Wishing you all the best!
I really liked it that you have emphasized that the daily usage shouldn't exceed the recommended level, and that it's not a replacement for a varied diet. I am sure you will stick to ethical marketing, keeping in mind that many teenagers are taking protein supplements randomly without guidance, and are getting into major problems. 

Thank you for promising to help me in my fight against the  high sugar drinks misleadingly labelled as ORS! These drinks have jeopardized the health and lives of millions! 

Yes, if we all join hands, we can make India healthy again! 
Thank you! Best Wishes once again to 'OWN'-'Only What's Needed'!

Please please do not get carried away with the social media posts about natural deliveries! Baby and mother have to be safe and healthy! That's the outcome we all want. Doing caeserian unnecessarily is not acceptable. Not doing a caeserian when indicated and forcing a forceps delivery (not documenting it), inducing labour at 35/36 weeks without a proper indication for the same, causing birth asphyxia/intracranial bleed/neonatal death when it could have very well been avoided- it is criminal! 2025-07-30 16:40:19 #caeserian #naturaldelive.. 455 -69% 29 -43%

Candid cream, Candid B cream, and Candid powder are being so widely used and abused that Clotrimazole is not working for many fungal infections. Parents too are using Candid powder, Candid cream, and Candid B cream like regular skin care products, right from the newborn period, for various rashes including diaper rash. Steroid creams are being used left right and centre, and creating havoc! Many other antifungals are being prescribed/used without the right indications. Resistance to antifungals has reached the peak stage!  We have to stop this abuse of antifungals and steroids! Otherwise, we won't be able to treat fungal infections anymore!

In case of a complicated ring worm infection, please consult only a qualified dermatologist pls!
