I'm really concerned about this polypoidal mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus that showed up on my MRI scan. I've already tried antibiotics and antihistamines for a month, but they didn't help. I'm worried and wondering what other treatments or options might be available. Could you advise on what else I can do to address this issue?

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.
