I've been dealing with constant phlegm in my throat for quite a while now. I hardly ever cough, but the phlegm just keeps showing up every day. I don't feel weak or anything, but it's really starting to annoy me. There's no reduction even though I don't have a cold. What could be causing this and how can I get some relief?

I've noticed a kind of swelling behind my uvula that I can feel with my tongue. Could this be nasal polyps or something else? I've been kind of worried about it and could use some advice on what this might be.

Can you help me figure out how effective adenoid surgery is for kids, both in the short term and long term? And is it true that once the adenoids are removed, they won't grow back? I'm really curious about this.

Adenoid surgery can provide both short-term and long-term benefits for children, especially in terms of relieving chronic nasal and ear problems. It's very unlikely that the adenoids will grow back to the same size after surgery. Most children experience significant and sustained improvements, but if any symptoms return, it would likely be due to other underlying issues, not the regrowth of the adenoids.
