Why isn't my 4-year-old hungry?
There could be a few reasons for your 4-year-old son not feeling hungry and having difficulty eating. Sometimes, children at this age can be picky eaters or have a decreased appetite due to growth spurts. However, if it's persistent, it's good to rule out any underlying issues like digestive problems or nutrient deficiencies. To help, try offering small, frequent meals with a variety of foods and avoid pressuring him to eat. It might also be helpful to consult with a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance on how to support his eating habits.

Why do my vaginal lips itch during periods?
During your period, hormonal changes can sometimes alleviate these symptoms temporarily. However, if the itching persists, it's essential to consider potential causes such as a yeast infection, irritation from products like soaps or detergents, or even a skin condition like eczema. I recommend avoiding scented products, wearing cotton underwear, and scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist for a proper evaluation. They can determine the exact cause and provide you with the best treatment plan.

Why Do I Excrete Yellow Phlegm and Have Diarrhea?
It seems that you have the stomach flu. The yellow phlegm might be a result of the mucus from your stomach coming up while you are straining to pass stool. Also, diarrhea can be caused by a stomach bug. Staying hydrated is what you need to do by drinking plenty of water. Keep eating bland food until your body gets better like rice and toast. Rest and let your body have the time to heal. If symptoms do not resolve, go for medical assistance.

Is Diaformula effective for treating Type 2 diabetes in Uganda?
Managing type 2 diabetes typically involves lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sometimes medication. Medications can assist in controlling blood sugar levels. Regarding Diaformula, there is limited clinical evidence to support its effectiveness, so it’s crucial to evaluate such treatments carefully. Common symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. I recommend discussing any new medication with your endocrinologist to ensure it aligns with your overall treatment plan. They can offer personalized guidance and support as you manage your condition.
