I just had ear wax removal today. The doctor gave me ear drops to use for a week, and then they took care of the wax manually. It wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some pressure and pain in my ear. Is this something that usually happens afterward? The doctor mentioned Calpol and Zoxwax drops, and also prescribed an Allrite DC tablet. I'm wondering how long I might feel this way.

My 6-year-old keeps having recurring ear and nose issues with enlarged adenoids. The doctor recommended surgery, but their cold allergies and bronchitis keep getting worse. Should we go ahead with the surgery or try other treatments first?

For recurrent adenoid issues, surgery may be advised if breathing or sleep is severely affected. However, allergy management and medications can be tried before opting for surgery.

I've been dealing with constant phlegm in my throat for quite a while now. I hardly ever cough, but the phlegm just keeps showing up every day. I don't feel weak or anything, but it's really starting to annoy me. There's no reduction even though I don't have a cold. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

it can be post nasal drip due to allergy or chronic sinusitis.
