I have a 12-year-old daughter experiencing cold/flu symptoms, including high fever (103-105 degrees), cough, chills, nausea, and diarrhea. Her breathing is okay, and she recently tested for asthma but has no diagnosis yet. Her brother has been coughing for about a week. At what point should I bring her to the hospital, and what treatment should I administer?

I am a 72-year-old man, and my wife and I still have an active sex life. My problem is that when I have an orgasm, very little semen comes out. My wife is not happy about that, and I don't know how to fix it. I hope I am not just old and drying up. How long has this been a concern for my wife, and is she currently using any medications? Anything else in her medical history you think the Doctor should know?
