I'm dealing with a sore throat and a persistent cough, and it's making it really hard for me to talk properly. Could it be that my voice box is infected? Im worried and would love some advice on what I can do to feel better.

I've been dealing with this heavy feeling in my left eye and the area around it for the past six months and they're often teary. I already saw an eye specialist but they said everything's fine with my eye. Then I went to an ENT and found out it's sinusitis. I'm really curious, can sinusitis really affect eyes like this? And what can I do to cope with it?

Yes, sinusitis can affect the eyes, causing symptoms like heaviness, teary eyes, and pressure around the eyes due to inflammation in the sinus cavities. To cope, treatment may include decongestants, nasal sprays, steam inhalation, and possibly antibiotics if an infection is present. Consult your ENT specialist for further management.

My son has an adenoids issue and the doctor suggested surgery, but we're really hesitant about going that route. Is there any other alternative treatment or option available for this that doesn't involve surgery?

You can opt for conservative management as well but getting operated and removed fas it is the solution for it.

I've been feeling a funny sensation in my throat. Theres no fever, cough, or cold, and Im not coughing up any mucus either. It's just this constant irritation, a sort of "kich kich" in the throat. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
