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?

I'm a teenager and I'm really curious about whether masturbation affects my height growth. Also, is there a limit on how often I should do it in a week?

Masturbation does not affect height or growth during teenage years; it's a normal part of development. You can masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, but overdoing it might affect your focus on studies or daily activities, so moderation is key.
