I'm wondering about what's happening with my 6-month-old baby. We've been putting coconut oil in his ears every day, and now it seems like there's this wax-like substance covering them. Should we keep doing this, or is it something we should stop?

View allMy kid has this cough that kicks in about 3-4 hours after she falls asleep at night. It's pretty frequent, and we just give her water, which seems to work after a 2030 second coughing fit. The cough just comes back every few hours throughout the night, and we're honestly exhausted from this routine. What could be causing this, and is there anything more we could do to help her?
give syrup ascoril twice daily for 5 days

I'm really worried because my two-year-old swallowed an apricot seed. Should I give him a banana or is there something else I should do? I'm not sure how to handle this.
Penile traction devices*: These are FDA-approved, non-surgical devices that may help increase penis length. However, results are generally modest (around 1-2 cm). 2. *Penile exercises*: Some exercises, like jelqing or penile stretching, may help improve blood flow and potentially lead to slight increases in penis length. However, these claims are largely anecdotal and not scientifically proven. 3. *Surgical options*: In some cases, surgical procedures like penile lengthening or enlargement may be considered. However, these procedures carry risks and are typically reserved for individuals with micropenis or significant penile trauma. _Important Reminders_ 1. *Be realistic*: Understand that significant increases in penis length are unlikely. 2. *Prioritize overall health*: Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, balanced diet, and good mental well-being. 3. *Avoid unproven products*: Steer clear of products or supplements claiming to dramatically increase penis length, as they are often ineffective and may be harmful.

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!
