My 9-year-old daughter always has a stuffy nose, even though she is active and eats well. Could her outdoor play in the evening be contributing to this, or is there another underlying cause? What could be the potential reasons for her persistent stuffy nose? Are there any safe medications or treatments that would help? Should I encourage her to play indoors, or would wearing a mask when playing outdoors help?

Ans: It is most probably allergic rhinitis due to the weather and pollution. Another cause could be enlarged adenoids. You will need to get her checked by her pediatrician who may advise X rays and blood tests. She will most probably need steroid spray intra nasally.

I am 21 years old girl and I am preparing for my banking exam. I have completed my bachelor's and currently I am pursuing m.com . I am having an affair with a guy who is married having two children and we have together spent 4 years. We love each other alot and he also takes care for me everytime. My mother abstained me from talking to him last year as we committed her that we want to marry but now everything is ok My mother is also talking to him and I am also . My mother is not agree with this marriage but his mother is agree . What should we do now???
Ans: Hello mam,
I understand your dilemma mam. Let's look at both aspects of this relationship.

If you go ahead with this relationship, what have you thought about his previous family? His marital status and family commitments can't be ignored. Have you considered the potential impact on his children and wife? Their life will be ruined and kids future will be at stake.

Secondly, your mother concern is very important and correct. The person who already has family commitments will not be able to invest the same amount of financial and emotional resources in your relationship.

I understand that you have invested four years in your relationship and you both care for each other. But in this case, it is advisable for both the families to sit and discuss every aspect and problems of this situation. The situation will get clear and you ll be able to take a better decision. You can also try couple counsellings.

In case the things dont work out then accept the reality and move on gracefully and welcome the opportunities that are waiting for you with open arms.
Take care !
