I'm a teenager and I'm really curious about whether masturbation affects my height growth. Also, is there a limit on how often I should do it in a week?

Masturbation does not affect height or growth during teenage years; it's a normal part of development. You can masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, but overdoing it might affect your focus on studies or daily activities, so moderation is key.

Question

My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

Question

My child was given 4 ml of Ondem syrup for vomiting, and after 6 hours, we gave the syrup again. But this time, he got really itchy and his lower lip started to swell up. Can you help me understand what might have gone wrong and what we should do now? This has me pretty worried.

I'm 4.0 and I'm worried because my height isn't increasing. I'm not sure why this is happening, and I really want to know what I can do about it. Is there something I'm missing or should be doing to help my height grow?
