I'm really worried about my 5-year-old son's frequent nosebleeds. It's been happening for about a month now, and even though the amount of blood isn't much, sometimes it happens twice a day. We saw an ENT doctor around 15 days ago, and they said it was anterior and suggested using paraffin drops and saline. It did help a bit at first, but then the nosebleeds started becoming more frequent again over the past few days. He's currently taking Oleptal DT 150 twice a day for childhood epilepsy. Do you think we should go back for another check-up?

View allI'm dealing with Meniere's disease and I've noticed that whenever I take Vertin, my dizziness, shakiness, and ear fullness get much better. But when I skip it, these symptoms really kick in. Is it okay if I take Vertin every day to manage this, or should I just deal with the dizziness? A 16mg dose per day seems to work well for me.
YES you can take vertin tablet for long periods also no problem.

I've been having trouble breathing, and my CT scan showed DNS towards the left with a spur in the right and enlarged nasopharyngeal tonsil. I've attached the scan could you check if the DNS is severe enough for surgery or if it might improve with meds? I've been using fluticasone spray for a month with slight improvement, but the issue persists. Should I wait longer or consider adenoidectomy if the adenoids are maximally enlarged?

I've been dealing with this strange issue where one nostril is always blocked, but it switches sides every now and then. Thing is, I don't have a cold or the flu or anything like that. It's been going on for about six months now. A few doctors have mentioned it could be an allergy, while others think it's sinusitis. I'm just really confused and would like to know what might be really causing this. Any insights?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis. This condition can cause alternating nostril blockage without the presence of a cold or flu. I recommend using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to help reduce inflammation and improve airflow. You can use 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray can help keep your nasal passages moist and clear. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier in your room to help with congestion. If symptoms persist, it's best to follow up with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
