My 16-year-old son is visiting Wuhan, China, where he is experiencing daily nosebleeds. He has a history of nosebleeds but had them cauterized, which previously resolved the issue. He is currently staying in an unairconditioned apartment with high temperatures. He has been using a saline solution for the past five days but it hasn't helped much. What can be done to reduce the frequency of his nosebleeds before he returns to the US on August 13?

I had a miscarriage 3.5 weeks ago and have been taking iron supplements since. I've experienced loose bowel movements with dark brown or black sections, bad-smelling stools, and intermittent fresh red bleeding. My pregnancy test is still positive but lighter. Is this normal, and could it be related to the iron supplements or a potential infection?
