I'm really concerned about my almost 6-year-old daughter. She's been struggling with a constant cough and cold, and she was doing well for a while on montair lc and some sprays, but now with the weather changes over the last few months, she's caught a cold multiple times and needed antibiotics almost every month. We've been using seroflo and otrivin sprays regularly, but she still has blocked nose and snores at night. Her weight is normal, and she's active otherwise, but our doctor mentioned her adenoids are at grade 4 and suggested surgery. We did a CT scan too. I'm aware she might improve once the weather gets better, but I'm worried about keeping her from catching more colds and infections until then. Should I consider surgery, or is it okay to wait? I've tried homeopathy for a few weeks, but there's no improvement, and it gives her stomach pains. Im really hoping to avoid the surgery route. Is there a chance her adenoids might shrink on their own, or is surgery the only way forward? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?

I'm really having a tough time with my headphones. I can't manage to keep them on for more than 5 minutes because they cause discomfort and sometimes even a slight pain in my ears and throat. It's okay when I'm not using them, but I can't figure out if I will ever be able to use headphones again without this issue. I've noticed dryness in my ears, so I tried using a few drops of coconut oil which helps temporarily, but then after 30 minutes of headphone use, my ears are dry again and the discomfort returns. Could it be the headphones causing the dryness, or is there something else going on? I'm really looking for a permanent solution to this ear and throat discomfort from using headphones. Any suggestions?
Normal, nothing to worry ok.
