I'm a bit concerned because just within the last day, I've been feeling this tightness in my throat. Sometimes it even feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen in. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

I'm really unsure about something since my surgery last year to remove a cholesteatoma from my middle ear. I've gotten the all clear from the disease, but I haven't had a follow-up hearing test yet. I'm curious if it's safe for me to use headphones or earphones now. Any advice on that?

Have a follow up with your doctor and follow your doctors advice,ideally you can use your headphones no problem

My 4.5-year-old son has trouble breathing and always breathes through his mouth due to enlarged adenoids. The ENT recommended surgery. I want to understand the difference between normal surgery and coblation technique are there any side effects with coblation? Which one should we go for?

In an adenoidectomy, the main difference between the traditional method (curettage) and coblation technique lies in how the adenoid tissue is removed and the potential for residual tissue. Coblation, while sometimes considered more precise, can still have some side effects like bleeding and infection, and there's a small chance of adenoid regrowth. Ultimately, the best choice for your child depends on your ENT's expertise, your child's specific situation, and your comfort level with the risks and benefits of each technique.
