I'm really worried about my 5-year-old. He's got these prominent bronchovascular markings, and his ESR is at 13. Is this serious? He's been coughing non-stop and always seems to have a fever. His recent blood test shows an absolute lymphocyte count of 5500 and a monocyte count of 9. We've been giving him normal flu medicines and using a nebulizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could it be some kind of allergy?

View allI'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!

My 2.3-year-old son only says 1 or 2 letter words like mummy, papa, ayu, bhavu. He also mixes up words, saying 'taj' instead of 'raj.' His pediatrician suggested surgery for extra skin under his tongue is this really necessary? What else can I do to help his speech development?
1. Buy simple cardboard books like animals, fruits,transport books and read together, this will improve vocabulary. Then buy books like Bubble series.. and together read every night . Also ,Singing rhymes with actions is fun way to improve language. 2.Talk to him everything you are doing in daily activities eg: if you are chopping veggies, tell him so.. 3.Send him to Play group/preschools. 4. Wait for a month and If this doesn't help then go to pediatricians to evaluate in details.
