Here’s a more polished and structured version for posting on Practo:
Hi Doctor,
I am a father of 3.5-year-old twins — a boy and a girl. Earlier, their pediatrician had prescribed AtoZ Mango Flavour drops as a general health tonic/multivitamin. However, during the recent visit, he mentioned that it is no longer necessary.
My children are starting school next week, and we are concerned that they may frequently catch colds, coughs, or infections from other children during the initial months.
I wanted to understand:
1. Is it advisable to give any multivitamin, immunity booster, or health tonic at this age?
2. Are supplements like Vitamin C, Zinc, or any pediatric immunity syrups recommended?
3. Is there anything else we should do proactively to help strengthen their immunity naturally?
4. Are there any signs of nutritional deficiency we should watch out for before considering supplements?
Both children are otherwise healthy and active.
Thank you.
Doctor, I'm 18 years old and currently weigh only 38 kg. I'm trying to gain weight in a healthy way because but I fall sick very easily.
I recently had cold, throat pain, and fever. I think eating too many heavy foods like paneer paratha, ghee, and dry fruits increased my body heat and triggered the fever.
Could you please guide me
What foods can I eat to gain weight without causing fever or throat infection?

For a 31-year-old woman and would like guidance regarding supplements for general health maintenance.
I am considering taking Omega-3 and Magnesium supplements to support overall health, stress management, and sleep quality. I would like to know:
1. Are Omega-3 and Magnesium supplements recommended for someone like me?
2. What dosage is generally suitable for long-term maintenance?
3. Which forms of Magnesium (e.g., glycinate, citrate, etc.) are preferred?
4. How should these supplements be taken (daily or on alternate days, with food or without food, morning or night)?
5. Are there any side effects or precautions I should be aware of?
6. Should I get any blood tests done before starting these supplements?
Goal is to maintain a healthy body, support regular sleep, and address general nutritional needs rather than treat a specific medical condition.
