Hey, I'm 15 and sometimes I masturbate. I've noticed that my height isn't really increasing. I'm currently 5 feet 6 inches and I'm wondering if this could be the reason why I'm not getting taller. Is this something I should be worried about?

Masturbation does not have any direct impact on your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and overall health. If you are concerned about your height, I recommend focusing on maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep to support your growth.

I'm really worried about my 4-month-old. After every feeding, they seem to have loose motion, and I've noticed it's a yellowish color. Plus, theres some coughing happening. Could this be something serious? What can I do to help my baby?
Your baby may have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. For loose motions, you can give your baby oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can also give probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.
