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'm having this weird issue where my ears make sounds after I sneeze. I've already finished my cold meds, but my nose is still blocked, especially in the mornings. Plus, I have this minor cough that comes and goes. What should I do?
your symptoms seem to be consistent with residual effects from a cold, like nasal congestion and Eustachian tube dysfunction, but if they persist or worsen, its important to seek further medical advice. In the meantime, using saline sprays, staying hydrated, and addressing the congestion with decongestants or steam inhalation should help improve your symptoms.

I am suffering from allergy sinusitis from 5yrs but I have done allergy test but no allergy but nasal spray is not effective but some doctors telling do surgery but some doctors telling not required congestion is more night and early morning
It's understandable that you're seeking clarity on your chronic sinusitis, especially with conflicting opinions about surgery. Since your allergy tests are negative, the cause might be non-allergic rhinitis or other factors affecting your sinus drainage. If nasal sprays are not effective, and your symptoms persist, further evaluation and possible surgical intervention could be considered.

I've been feeling this film of mucus on the right side of my throat, almost down to my chest, for the past few weeks. I remember having the same feeling last year. My right nostril is blocked, and there's pressure on my right ear. I used to smoke a lotabout six cigarettes a day for seven yearsbut quit last year. Since then, there's no cough, but the mucus feeling is still there. Could it be cancer? Sometimes, it seems like this sticky feeling on the right side even goes down to my stomach. I'm not experiencing heartburn though. I'm curious, what's the risk of throat cancer at 27 in India? Also, I used to smoke marijuana but stopped that last year too. What do you think?
That could be GERD, visit Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management
