My 12-year-old daughter has been coughing for over a week now. No other symptoms, negative COVID test. The coughing comes and goes throughout the day and night, is dry, and there is no tightness in her chest. She has tried allergy medicines (Benadryl and Zyrtec), Advil, and cough and cold medicines. What can I do to help her get rid of this cough?

I have been experiencing consistent bloating and trapped gas, especially before my menstrual cycle, which worsens with certain foods like fatty foods and dairy products. I have been diagnosed with GERD and have a lot of bacteria in my urine. I am currently taking Nexium and probiotics. I am also under a lot of stress and have allergies that cause nausea. I am 49 years old and had my tubes tied after my last child. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms, and can stress make my stomach feel hard?

My finger is swollen and won’t go down, and my bone hurts constantly for the past 3 months, especially during winter. The pain is achy and sometimes feels like pins and needles. I’m 16 years old, on Adco-etoricoxib 90mg, and have a gluten intolerance, nut allergy, and am anemic. I also experience stiffness in my spine and shoulders. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
