Question

I'm really worried about my son. He's been dealing with a cough and chest congestion for almost a month now. We went to see the doctor, and after a throat swab test, they said it's staphylococcus aureus, a type of gram positive cocci. Hes also not eating well these days and has lost about 2 kgs. What kind of treatment should we be looking at for this?

Question

My baby is only a month old and has a nose block which makes it hard for him to breathe. I am worried about him and want to know if it's okay to use Nasivion 0.025 for a little one his age. The doctor said to use Nasoclear, but I couldn't find it anywhere. What should I do? Can you recommend anything else that's safe?

Question

I'm really worried about something my girlfriend told me. Back when she was in 2nd grade, there was this boy just a few months younger than her who tried to have sex with her. She mentioned that he tried to put his penis inside her, but she can't remember if he was actually successful. I'm just trying to understand if that means she lost her virginity back then or not. Is it possible she's still considered a virgin?
