I've been dealing with breathing issues because of a deviated nasal septum, and my last doctor recommended a minor surgery to fix it. Is this something your clinic offers? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure and wanted to check if it's an option here.

View allI'm really feeling under the weather with this throat pain. It's been tough dealing with a dry throat and I'm also having this fever that's got me shivering quite a bit. What's strange is that there's no cough along with these symptoms. Can you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what I should do? I'm just not sure how to handle this.
Throat pain, cold, fever, and chills with dry throat but no cough can be symptoms of a viral infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take acetaminophen for fever and pain relief. Additionally, you can try lozenges like Strepsils for throat pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

my 3.5 year old has enlarged adenoids and tonsils and the doctor recommended surgery is it safe for a child this young what should I do
It's understandable to be concerned about the safety of surgery for a 3.5-year-old with enlarged adenoids and tonsils. While surgery is generally considered safe, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks in your child's specific case. A more conservative approach of watchful waiting and medical management until the child is 6-7 years old is often recommended, as adenoids and tonsils tend to naturally shrink by this age

I've been dealing with a sore throat for the past two days. I tried taking Monteklc, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any idea why it might not be working and what else I could try for relief?
Since Montek-LC (a combination of levocetirizine and montelukast) is primarily an antihistamine and anti-asthmatic medication, its effectiveness for throat pain may be limited; consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and alternative treatments, such as antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected, or pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help alleviate throat pain.
