Cough variant asthma is a very common and specific type of asthma. Patients generally have a high likelihood of experiencing it clinically. For instance, when some young people suffer from cough variant asthma, the frequency of attacks may be relatively lower because their immune function is comparatively better. Therefore, for those whose condition is due to genetic factors, it is best to avoid environmental triggers that could provoke an attack of cough variant asthma. Usually, if adolescents have cough variant asthma, they cannot be completely cured, primarily because the triggering factors are very complex, involving both known and unknown elements. However, if adolescents engage in regular exercise, the frequency of cough variant asthma attacks can be reduced, and the symptoms that do appear may be milder.

How to Manage Bad Breath During Adolescence

There are various causes of bad breath, generally, it might be due to an accumulation of dental stains, plaque, and tartar in the patient's mouth, which are not cleaned in time, failing to develop a good habit of brushing teeth morning and night. It could also be due to the patient staying up late frequently, leading to internal heat in the body and gastrointestinal dysfunction, which might result in bad breath. Or it could be irregular eating habits, often consuming spicy and irritating food, causing the patient's body to have excessive internal heat. In such cases, dietary adjustments can be made, adopting a light diet and regular living habits. If the patient has a lot of dental stains, they can visit a formal dental hospital for treatment and teeth cleaning. Removing dental stains, tartar, and plaque can eliminate bad breath and also provide good protection for the health of the teeth themselves.

What does normal vaginal discharge look like during puberty?

Normal vaginal discharge during adolescence is a mixture of vaginal mucosal exudate, cervical canal secretion, and endometrial gland secretion. Its formation is mainly related to the action of estrogen. Normal vaginal discharge is white, transparent, thin or egg white-like, highly viscous, odorless, and generally in small amounts. If inflammation occurs in the female reproductive tract, especially vaginitis and cervicitis, or in cases of cancer, the amount of discharge significantly increases, and its characteristics change. It is crucial to actively seek medical attention in such cases. Additionally, a type of discharge that appears similar to normal but is significantly more abundant and viscous should prompt consideration of chronic cervicitis, ovarian dysfunction, vaginal gland diseases, or highly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the cervix. Other types of discharge, such as frothy, curd-like, fishy, purulent, bloody, or watery discharges, also require active hospital visits for systematic examination, as these are pathological discharges. It is advisable to consult a doctor at a hospital for specific guidance.

Does massaging breasts have any disadvantages for adolescent girls?

Massaging the breasts during adolescence has certain benefits, and the effects of massaging the chest are numerous. For example, appropriate breast massage can raise the temperature of the local skin and tissues, speeding up the blood circulation in the mammary glands. This helps provide more blood and nutrients to the breasts, which can promote breast enlargement and development. During the massage, essential oils can be applied. The massage stimulates the skin of the breasts and causes the pores to expand, allowing the ingredients of the essential oils to be absorbed by the breasts. This can improve conditions such as breast sagging and loosening of the breast skin.
