My child has been dealing with a cough for almost a year now, and we've tried multiple government hospitals, but nothing seems to be working. I can't afford private doctors or medication. Is there anything you suggest we can do?

View allI'm a bit concerned and curious because my 12-year-old brother had his first ejaculation when he saw a picture of a naked girl on a friend's phone. He even felt an orgasm without even touching his penis. Is that normal?
it's natural

I've been taking Cherifer PGM food supplement for a month now, and I'm wondering what time of day is best to take it. Also, I had to stop for a week because I was on another medication and resumed two weeks later. Is that okay?
You can take Cherifer PGM food supplement at any time of the day, but it is generally recommended to take it after a meal to maximize absorption. As for your situation, it is okay that you stopped taking it for a week and resumed after two weeks. Just continue taking it as directed on the packaging for the best results.

My 2-year-old daughter has had hydronephrosis in her right kidney since birth, and recent tests show only 44% function. The doctor recommended surgery, but I want to explore other treatment options first are there any medicines or alternatives? If surgery is the only option, what's better traditional or laser? Also, what would be the approximate cost?
Hydronephrosis with reduced kidney function (44%) in a 2-year-old typically indicates obstruction that may not improve with medications alone. Surgery is often the definitive treatment, and delaying it could risk further damage. Laser (minimally invasive) surgery is preferred for quicker recovery and less pain. Costs vary by hospital but may range from ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakh in India.
