Child Health Issues

Hi Doctor, My kid current age is 17 months .So far for my kid we have taken vaccines at Government Health Centres and also additional vaccines which are not available at government health centres those we have taken at Private Hospitals. In private hospital at 18th months age they are giving vaccines — DPT 1st Booster, HIB 1st Booster, IPV 1st Booster. Seems they will give these vaccines as combination of one injection i.e hexavalent vaccine. Is this correct ? If not please let us know the vaccine name. But when we enquired in government health centres, they told for above 1 year kids they will not give Penta(DPT+Hepatitis-B+Hib) vaccine. There they will give only DPT-1 Booster not giving HIB Booster. As we are affordable to take additional required vaccines, So at 18 months, for my kid do we need to take DPT Booster alone at government centre or Can we go to private hospital to take all DPT,HIB,IPV Boosters ? Please clarify on this.

Hi my baby is 11 month old. We shaved his head to remove birth hair. I saw his frontal head bone is bulged. I attached the pic.

Hi, we have given the 2.5month time vaccination to my son at the government hospital on Tuesday and he had fever and pain but that is gone now. But I can see that he is not taking proper feeding which he used to take before that. The first day he used to have a vomiting sensation as well and vomited once. The first month vaccine we had given and private hospital, so it there any change because of that??? And when can I expect that he will start taking food feeding again??
