It's gotten to the point where our six-month-old son and I can't sleep either since we all share the same room. I'm really concerned and was wondering if theres a way to help manage his cough so we can all get some rest. What should I do?

Question 2

I'm dealing with costochondritis and I'm really feeling some pain around my rib. I've noticed a small lump above the skin on my rib too. Is this possibly a sign of cancer? I'm quite worried.

Accepted Answer

The small lump you noticed could be a benign cyst or muscle-related, but its always a good idea to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any other concerns and get peace of mind.
