I'm really worried about my child who has adenoids. Do they absolutely need surgery, or are there any medications that could help shrink or cure them? I would appreciate any guidance you could offer.

Hey, I'm really worried about my mom. Shes been dealing with vertigo, and our family doctor says its related to her middle ear. For the past two days, shes been stuck in bed. Every little move makes her so dizzy, and she even vomits when trying to get up. On top of that, staying in bed has caused her shoulder and back to hurt terribly. What can we do to help her feel better and get rid of this quickly? This is all so sudden and she's never had these issues before. She's on vertistar md8 as prescribed. Any advice would be appreciated.

For vertigo symptoms related to the middle ear, it is important to continue taking Vertistar MD-8 as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, I recommend keeping her well-hydrated and ensuring she gets plenty of rest. To alleviate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, she can also take 'Stugeron' which helps in relieving vertigo symptoms. For the shoulder and back pain, she can take 'Flexon' to help with the discomfort. It is advisable for her to avoid sudden head movements and to slowly change positions to prevent triggering vertigo episodes. If her symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

My 4-year-old son has grade 3 to 4 adenoids for the last 9 months. He weighs 14.6 kg and has had no fever or infections except once last month. His only symptom is slight mouth breathing without snoring. Is surgery really necessary, and if so, what's the least painful option for him?

While slight mouth breathing and grade 3-4 adenoids in a 4-year-old can indicate a potential issue, adenoidectomy (surgery to remove the adenoids) is not always necessary. In many cases, enlarged adenoids resolve on their own, especially as the child grows. A qualified ENT doctor should assess your child's specific situation and symptoms to determine the best course of action
