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?

The experience your girlfriend described is a traumatic event, and it's essential to prioritize her emotional well-being; regarding virginity, it's a complex and personal concept, but from a medical perspective, if penetration occurred, her hymen might have been damaged, but if penetration didn't occur or was incomplete, her hymen might still be intact, though it's essential to remember that the hymen's state doesn't definitively determine virginity.

My son's been coughing for more than 20 days now and he's been taking zest syrup and some antibiotics, but it just won't go away. It's not a dry cough and he also starts sneezing when he coughs. What should I do?

It seems he is suffering from respiratory tract infection. Any cough of more than 21 days duration can be due to Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
