I'm really worried about my 2-month-old son's hearing. He didn't pass the OAE test, and when we went for the BERA test, the right ear showed no response, and the left only a slight response at higher thresholds. Some folks tell me that hearing can still develop until he's around 1.5 years old, but our pediatrician thinks we should see an ENT for possible interventions once he turns 6 months. I'm torn about what to do. Can anyone recommend a good doctor who specializes in this? Also, are there any effective treatment options we should consider?

Its completely understandable to feel unsure and worried about your babys health, but following the pediatricians guidance to see an ENT specialist after 6 months is a wise decision. Early intervention can significantly improve the chances of normal speech and language development.

I'm dealing with a sore throat and did some hot water and salt gargling. Just wondering, after doing that, how long should I wait before eating?

I've been dealing with sinus issues and nasal polyps for a while sometimes I feel okay, but other times there's constant sneezing, nose swelling, and watery discharge. One side of my nose is almost always blocked, and my nose bone seems slightly bent. Doctors have suggested surgery as the only option, but I'm wondering if there's any way to treat this without going under the knife. Are there non-surgical treatments that could help?
septoplasty is advised to the patient.
