I've been dealing with a constant, light phlegm in my throat for about 4 months now. It all started back during the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown when I used a tissue between my kerchief and nose for 2 days while on duty. By the third day, I had chest and throat pain, and the phlegm got worse. I've stopped using tissues, but the phlegm issue didn't go away. I visited a couple of medical shops, but the medicines they gave me like Amoxycillin, Intase Incoff Forte, Histan B, Kuffdryl, and Amorax didnt really help. Now, apart from those first two days, I havent had any chest or throat pain, no sneezes or runny nose. It's just that the phlegm keeps coming, and sometimes I have to cough it up and spit it out almost every minute. Its not thick or green. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I'm worried about my 10-year-old son because he has some wax built up in his ears. I've heard about using Clearwax ear drops, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Can you give me some advice on how to use them properly to clean his ears? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Instill two drops in each ear three times in a day,the wax would come out on its own,do not attempt to remove it.

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.
