I'm having trouble with a blocked nose that makes it hard for me to breathe, especially when I'm lying down. I don't have a cough, fever, or runny nose, but I can feel a bit of chest congestion. It's like the inside of my nose, near the bone area, is all blocked up. What can I do to feel better?

View allMy 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.

My 3-year-old son has been suffering from adenoids for the past 10 months, confirmed by his pediatrician. We saw an ENT who recommended surgery when he was 2 years 8 months old, but we opted for homeopathic treatment instead. He's still struggling with breathing issues, especially in cold weather. Are there any non-surgical or long-term medication alternatives that could help him?
Non-surgical alternatives for adenoids include nasal steroids,allergy management,and physiotherapy.ENT consult needed if symptoms persist.
