I'm really concerned about my 10-year-old daughter. She has this adenoid issue, and the problem is mainly at night when she starts breathing through her mouth as she sleeps. During the day, everything seems normal. Is there a way to treat this with medicine instead of surgery?

Prolonged mouth breathing would cause Dryness of mouth,dental caries etc., surgical correction is the treatment of choice better plan for surgery.

View allI'm experiencing a bit of hoarseness in my voice that I'm thinking might be from all the shouting I did recently. There's some swelling in my voice box, and I'm wondering if I should consider getting an endoscopy on my throat. What do you think? Is it necessary, or could it be something that'll just go away on its own?
it can be due to vocal nodules you can diagnose it by laryngoscopy

I've been experiencing this weird click sensation in my throat whenever I swallow, almost like something is shifting around in there. It's not painful, but there's this constant feeling of something being there, and its seriously annoying, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I have this lingering cough sensation too, but it's mostly just an odd feeling rather than a full cough. I did drink a lot of alcohol for over a year, which I thought might be the cause, but Ive stopped drinking for the last month and a half, yet the problem persists. I've tried looking up stuff on Google but ended up more confused. Any idea what might be going on or how I can get rid of this discomfort?
That could be mucosal congestion, consume warm foods and take warm fluids which will help you,if it bothering you much visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I've noticed some blood in my saliva and it's starting to worry me. Could this indicate something serious, and what precautions should I take? Also, are there any specific medicines I should consider?
Blood in saliva can be caused by various reasons such as gum disease, mouth sores, or respiratory infections. To prevent further bleeding, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. You should also avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can irritate the mouth and gums. For treatment, you can use mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to help reduce bacteria in the mouth and promote healing. In case of gum disease, you can use a gum paint containing chlorhexidine and metronidazole to reduce inflammation and infection. If the bleeding persists, it is important to consult a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
