I'm a 16-year-old girl and I've read on Google that girls stop growing two years after they get their period. But I've also seen other research saying that's not true, and now I'm really confused. Can you tell me if it's still possible for me to grow taller at 16? I'd really appreciate some information on this, so I can know what to believe.

It's a common misconception that girls stop growing after two years of menstruation. While growth typically slows down after puberty, many girls can still grow taller in their late teens, up to around age 18. It depends on individual factors like genetics and nutrition. If you're 16, there's still a chance for some growth!

View allI'm really worried because my 12-year-old daughter accidentally swallowed a date seed. I'm not sure if it will pass through her system safely or if we should consider any specific medication to help with digestion. Can you let me know if there's anything I should watch out for or any precautions we should take?
If your daughter has swallowed a date seed, it is likely to pass through her digestive system without causing any issues. However, it is important to monitor her for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, or breathing difficulties. Make sure she stays hydrated and eats high-fiber foods to help the seed pass through her system. If she experiences any severe symptoms or if you are concerned, you can give her a mild laxative like Dulcolax to help move the seed through her system.

I'm worried because I noticed this white thembal thing on my baby's face. Is this some kind of infection, or could it just be normal for infants? What should I do to treat it?
It sounds like your infant may have oral thrush, which is a common fungal infection in infants. The best treatment for oral thrush in infants is usually an antifungal medication called Nystatin oral suspension. You can apply a small amount to the inside of your baby's mouth several times a day. It's important to continue the treatment for the full course prescribed by your doctor, usually around 7-14 days, even if the symptoms improve before then. Additionally, make sure to sterilize pacifiers, bottle nipples, and any other items that may come into contact with your baby's mouth to prevent reinfection.

My 4-year-old has had a continuous fever for the past 5 days. The doctor prescribed Meftol P and paracetamol, but he still seems to have a high fever. We did a basic blood test which showed no issues. How long might it take for him to recover?
