I'm really worried about my dad, who's 63. He's having this problem where there's a strong smell, like mucous, when he breathes out, both from his mouth and nose. He's never been into drinking alcohol or smoking, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand what's causing this and maybe recommend a good mouthwash or something that might help with his breathing?

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.
