I've been dealing with glue ear for a few years and have tried all kinds of treatments, but nothing's helping. It's even affecting my hearing. What should I do next?

View allI've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?
Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.

I'm struggling with nasal congestion and its making it kind of hard to breathe properly. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies that might help with this? Maybe something I can try out to ease the discomfort?
Your sneezing response to cold stimuli is known as "cold-induced sneezing" or "photic sneezing reflex." It's a relatively rare condition. To manage symptoms: - Avoid sudden exposure to cold temperatures - Wear protective gear (gloves, scarf) in cold weather - Use saline nasal sprays to moisturize nasal passages - Consider over-the-counter antihistamines or decongestants Consult a doctor or allergist for further guidance and diagnosis.

I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?
Considering your symptoms: Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene. Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps. Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air. Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult: A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver. An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue. A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.
