View allmy 3.5 year old has enlarged adenoids and tonsils and the doctor recommended surgery is it safe for a child this young what should I do
It's understandable to be concerned about the safety of surgery for a 3.5-year-old with enlarged adenoids and tonsils. While surgery is generally considered safe, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks in your child's specific case. A more conservative approach of watchful waiting and medical management until the child is 6-7 years old is often recommended, as adenoids and tonsils tend to naturally shrink by this age

I'm dealing with BPPV and it's been really tough. Every time I turn my head towards the left, it feels like the room is spinning and I lose my balance. I've seen two doctors about it. The first said there's no medication for this, but the second prescribed Valium 2 and Vertin 24 for a couple of weeks and suggested some tests. They also performed the Epley Maneuver and taught me how to do it at home. My schedule is pretty hectic since I work 23 days weekly, mostly overnight due to different time zones, and the doctor advised me not to stay up all night. I'm just really anxious about when this will get better because it's affecting my daily life and I'm worried about whether these medicines will help or if something more serious might happen.
BPPV can be uncomfortable and worrying, but with the right treatment (including the Epley Maneuver), most people recover fully. It may take some time, so try to be patient and follow your doctor's instructions. The medications you are taking are supportive in managing symptoms, but the physical therapy (Epley) is key to addressing the root cause. If the problem continues or worsens, dont hesitate to revisit your doctor for further advice.
