I'm really concerned about my face looking thin and elongated even though I'm gaining weight on my body. It kind of makes me look older, and Id really love to have chubby cheeks that make my face look healthier and fuller. Could you give me some advice on what kind of diet I should be following to achieve this? And would taking protein supplements like Protex help with making my face look healthier?

Blood in Sputum with Viral Infection: Possible Causes
Infections and Inflammation
- Viral Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tubes can cause bleeding.
- Viral Pneumonia: Infection can cause inflammation and bleeding in the lungs.
- Secondary Bacterial Infection: A bacterial infection on top of the viral infection can increase the risk of bleeding.
Mechanical and Environmental Factors
- Coughing and Irritation: Prolonged coughing can cause blood vessels in the airways to rupture.
- Mucus Accumulation: Mucus can accumulate in the airways overnight, leading to increased pressure and bleeding.
Morning-Specific Factors
- Morning Coughing: Morning coughing can dislodge mucus and cause bleeding.
- Overnight Mucus Buildup: Mucus can build up in the airways overnight, increasing the risk of bleeding in the morning.
What to Do
- Consult Your Doctor: Report the bleeding to your doctor, especially if it persists or worsens.
- Monitor Your Symptoms: Keep track of the frequency, amount, and color of the blood in your sputum.
- Rest and Hydration: Stay hydrated, rest, and avoid strenuous activities to help your body recover.

View allI'm dealing with oily and acne-prone skinwhat I can use Venusia cream as a moisturizer? I'm really worried about whether it might block my pores and lead to more acne. What do you think?
Venusia cream is not specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It may be too heavy and could potentially clog pores, leading to more acne breakouts. I recommend using oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to clean skin twice a day for best results.

I'm really concerned about my wife's handsthey're turning purple, especially on the knuckles. They look like they're dirty, but there's actually no dirt on them. She mentioned that they feel really dry, probably because of the cold winter air. Is this just dry skin, or could it be something more serious?
The purple discoloration on your wife's knuckles, despite appearing clean, could be due to Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition causing blood vessel constriction in response to cold temperatures, or it might be a sign of poor circulation, dry skin, or a nutritional deficiency; to rule out any underlying conditions, consult a dermatologist
