Question 1

I'm struggling with recurring tonsil infections whenever I eat spicy foods for several days in a row. Is there any way to deal with this once and for all, aside from opting for surgery?

Accepted Answer

Spicy foods can irritate the tonsils and lead to inflammation or infection. To help prevent tonsillitis, you can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. Additionally, you can use lozenges or throat sprays for relief. If you experience frequent tonsillitis episodes, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics like Amoxicillin to treat bacterial infections. However, if the problem persists, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be considered as a permanent solution.

My 2-year-old son was born with an ear pit in his left ear, and it's gotten infected. We've already gone through a 2-week course of antibiotics and used topical ointments, but there's been no change. What should be our next step?

Accepted Answer

Consult an ENT specialist or a pediatric surgeon for further evaluation and guidance, as recurrent infections in preauricular pits often require surgical excision to prevent future complications; they may recommend imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI to assess the extent of the pit and surrounding tissue, and discuss surgical options to remove the pit and affected tissue.

Accepted Answer

The treatment for nasal polyps typically involves the use of intranasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and shrink the polyps. I recommend using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. In addition, you can also use Nasacort (triamcinolone) nasal spray, 1-2 sprays in each nostril once daily. These medications can help improve symptoms and reduce the size of the nasal polyps.

Accepted Answer

Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate the lump and pains.

Given the lump's long-standing presence and recent pain, it's essential to rule out potential issues.

Possible causes include:

Epididymal cyst
Spermatocele
Varicocele
Testicular torsion (unlikely, given the lump's long history)

Avoid self-diagnosis and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and peace of mind.
