I've been dealing with a persistent runny nose for almost a year now that just keeps coming back. What medicine could I take for this? It's really becoming frustrating at this point.

Your symptoms suggest:

  1. Post-COVID-19 complications (e.g., otitis media, sinusitis)
  2. Acid reflux (GERD)
  3. Anxiety-related symptoms
  4. Possible pulmonary issues (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia)

Consult your doctor or a specialist (ENT, pulmonologist, or gastroenterologist) for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

In the meantime, consider:

  • Staying hydrated
  • Using a humidifier
  • Elevating your head while sleeping
  • Avoiding irritants (e.g., smoke, dust)

I've been dealing with silent reflux for the past 4 months, and nothing seems to help not even medications like esomeprazole, pantoprazole, or antacids. I've tried lifestyle changes too, but my sore throat won't go away, and my voice keeps getting worse because of vocal cord damage. I've heard mixed opinions about surgery for LPR some say it doesn't work. What do you suggest I do?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

My 5-year-old son snores a lot and keeps getting cold, cough, and fever with small weather changes. One doctor suggested an X-ray to check for adenoid issues, and now an ENT specialist is recommending adenoid surgery. Is surgery really necessary for a kid his age, and if so, which hospital would be best for this procedure?

Adenoid surgery, or adenoidectomy, is often recommended for children experiencing persistent snoring, recurrent infections, or breathing difficulties due to enlarged adenoids. While 5 years old is a common age for this procedure, the decision to proceed with surgery depends on the severity of symptoms and the child's overall health. If your son's symptoms are impacting his sleep, development, or causing frequent infections, an ENT specialist may recommend adenoidectomy
