I'm dealing with regular throat infections and I'm not sure what I should stay away from or what I should eat on a daily basis to help with it. Are there any medicines or maybe some kind of chewables or syrups that I should consider using regularly? I'm really looking for some advice on how to manage this.

Given the persistent, intermittent jaw pain and normal X-ray results, consider the following next steps:

  • Consult a dentist to rule out dental issues (e.g., TMJ disorder, tooth grinding)
  • Schedule an appointment with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for further evaluation
  • Discuss with your ENT specialist about potential referrals to other specialists (e.g., neurologist, rheumatologist)

While the pain may not be severe, it's essential to investigate the underlying cause to prevent potential complications.

Possible causes:

  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding)
  • Jaw misalignment
  • Nerve issues
  • Arthritis or other inflammatory conditions

My 6-year-old daughter has had enlarged adenoids for the last 4 years, and we really want to avoid surgery. We've seen multiple doctors in Bangalore, but nothing has helped. She constantly has a runny nose and breathes through her mouth. We take extreme care she only eats homemade food, drinks warm water, avoids milk and curd, and can't even play outside or wash hands with normal tap water. Her immunity seems very weak, and she struggles with basic things like taking a head bath without staying indoors the whole day. It's heartbreaking to see her like this. Is there any way to improve her condition without surgery? How can we strengthen her immunity and help her live a normal life?

Adenoidecomy is advised to the patient.Ent opinion is adcised .

I'm waking up every morning with a sore throat, and I notice white mucus, plus my mouth and lips feel really dry. On top of that, I'm getting pain in my teeth and jaw, and feeling fatigued, with headaches sometimes. What could be causing all these symptoms?

May indicate symptoms of a possible sinus infection or post-nasal drip. I recommend taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the mucus production and throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages and relieve dryness. For the pain in your teeth and jaw, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and get adequate rest to help with fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
