Neurodevelopment has remained an underresearched and less understood implication. Vitamin B-12 deficiency has long been associated with poorer neurodevelopment. Only recently has the data on supplementation impact on infant neurdevelopment starting to emerge.

VIDEO | Delhi: Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research Deputy Medical Director and Head of Pediatrics, Dr. Jitender Nagpal, on pollution says, “Children are the most affected by pollution. During this season, especially around Diwali, respiratory problems are more common among them. Cough and cold tend to persist longer. The key precaution is to keep children away from polluted air as much as possible and avoid taking them outdoors in cold weather.”

VIDEO | Delhi: On cough syrup linked deaths, Jitender Nagpal, Deputy Medical Director, HOD Pediatrics, Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research, says, “During flu season, many children develop coughs and colds, but cough syrups should not be used casually. They often contain multiple drugs with uncertain effectiveness, can worsen conditions like chest congestion, and are frequently misused through self-medication. Their actual benefit in curing cough is doubtful, and children usually recover on their own. Therefore, cough syrups should generally be avoided, especially for young children.”
