I'm a heavy snorer at 46 years old, 5'10 and 89 kgs. I've been using a CPAP machine but find it uncomfortable. Different ENTs have given me mixed advice some recommend surgery while others say I should lose weight. Is there a permanent solution for snoring that actually works?

Snoring with CPAP intolerance can be treated with UPPP or weight loss—ENT evaluation with sleep study is key.

I'm really worried about my 3.5-year-old daughter. She's been breathing through her mouth for over two years now. We saw an ENT specialist, and they mentioned her air veins are blocked. We did the whole treatment with cepodem, delcan, aerodil syrups, and nebulisation for five days. She seemed to breathe better afterward but still through her mouth. The doctor listened again and heard something that led us to get a nose X-ray. It showed she has adenoid hypertrophy, Grade 4. Theyre suggesting we consider an endoscopic debrider adenoidectomy. Im really unsure about going through with this. Are there any risks with this surgery? Can medication alone treat this, and is she too young at 3.5 for such a procedure? Any advice would be appreciated.
Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.

I've noticed that my tongue and the roof of my mouth have this white to yellowish color. There aren't any white or red spots, but I'm kind of worried about what it might be. Is it something serious? Also, I've had this weird feeling like there's hair or something at the back of my throat for a while now, but it goes away when I eat or drink. Are these two things connected? If not, what could be causing this strange sensation?
PCOS can be complex, and I'll address your concerns: *Having PCOS with Regular Periods* 1. *Yes, it's possible*: PCOS is a spectrum disorder, and some women may experience regular periods despite having other PCOS symptoms. 2. *Ovulation may still be irregular*: Even with regular periods, ovulation might be infrequent or irregular, affecting fertility. *Infertility Risks* 1. *Increased risk*: PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women due to ovulation issues and hormonal imbalances. 2. *Not inevitable*: Many women with PCOS can conceive with proper treatment and management. *Acne Treatment* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Discuss your acne concerns with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment approach. 2. *Hormonal treatments*: Birth control pills or anti-androgen medications might be prescribed to regulate hormones and reduce acne. *Normal DHT Levels and PCOS* 1. *DHT not always elevated*: Some women with PCOS may have normal DHT levels. 2. *Other hormonal imbalances*: PCOS is characterized by multiple hormonal imbalances, not just DHT. *Bilateral Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) vs. PCOS* 1. *PCO is a characteristic of PCOS*: Bilateral PCO is a common feature of PCOS, but not all women with PCO have PCOS. 2. *PCOS diagnosis requires multiple criteria*: A diagnosis of PCOS requires a combination of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings.
