My 4-month-old son has been coughing badly with a lot of phlegm for the last three days, mostly at night and after feeding, but he has no fever. Is the coughing constant or does it come and go? Is it a dry or wet cough? Are there any signs of chest tightness? Are there any other medical issues the doctor should be aware of?

What should I put on this? Is it yeast or dermatitis? Additionally, is it normal to feel lymph nodes by your collarbone, and are they soft but noticeable? Also, I'm concerned about a potential breast cancer-related issue as I've been experiencing morning irritation and a slight dull ache in that area. Could this be related to inflammatory breast cancer (IBC)?

My 15-and-a-half-year-old son recently had a blood test showing low creatinine levels (39) and estradiol (39.19). The doctor ordered the test to check for growth hormones as he is going through puberty late. He is not currently on any medications. What should I know about these results?

I'm a 29-year-old female with a history of ear and sinus issues. After a recent cold, I developed eustachian tube dysfunction, which I've been treating with antihistamines and sinus rinses. Now, despite my ears seeming to open, I'm experiencing more ear and sinus pain. Additionally, I have tingling in my cheek and sometimes feel an electric shock sensation down my right cheek when trying to pop my ears. I also have a peculiar ability to relieve ear itchiness using my tongue. What could be causing these symptoms and should I be concerned about anything serious?
