I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis since 2006 and usually take allercet tablets when needed, sometimes with flomist nasal spray though it doesn't always work. I'm worried about long-term side effects of taking allercet regularly - are there any risks? Mornings are the worst with constant sneezing, runny nose and itchy red eyes. The allercet makes me feel drowsy too. Are there better treatment options or even surgery that could help me live more normally without these symptoms

Long-term Allercet use may cause drowsiness; consider immunotherapy or consulting an ENT for possible surgical correction of chronic allergic rhinitis.

View allMy 2.9-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with adenoids, and we've started antibiotics. The doctor mentioned surgery if the meds don't work, but I'm really hesitant about putting her through surgery at such a young age it's only moderate right now. Any suggestions? I'm really worried as a mom.
adenoidectomy is advised.

I've been having this weird sensation where it feels like my uvula is always touching my tongue. It's like there's something stuck in my throat and I keep feeling the need to swallow it down. I dont have any trouble swallowing or issues with my voice right now, but its getting a bit uncomfortable. What could be causing this?
Usually that's not possible visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm having some major issues with my left ear that are really affecting my sleep. I found out I have a middle ear infection and after going through a bunch of tests like X-rays, blood work, an echocardiogram, ECG, and a CT scan of the mastoid, my doctor is suggesting a major surgery. Can you tell me what this surgery is called? I'm also really worried about any health risks that might come with it.
