I've been dealing with a throat infection for the past four days now and started antibiotics two days ago, but I'm not experiencing much relief. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Is there anything else I could be doing to help speed up the healing process?

I'm experiencing some issues with my nose lately. It feels really itchy, and there's been more dirt buildup than usual, which even caused it to bleed once. Today, I noticed there's an extra muscle growth inside my nose that hurts when I touch it. I also find it hard to be in cold weather, and sometimes my eyes tear up for no apparent reason. I don't have sinus issues though. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Your symptoms could be related to nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis AND keep the nose moisturized, avoid irritants, and consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment. They can help diagnose the cause of the muscle growth and any underlying issues.

I've been experiencing some strange sensations in my ear, like occasional sounds and this feeling like something's stuck inside. It's really unsettling, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Could you shed some light on what might be happening?

Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions. Explore sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relaxation techniques to manage symptoms. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) can help your brain habituate to tinnitus. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding loud noises and managing stress, can also help. While there's no cure, these strategies can alleviate symptoms.

My 5-year-old daughter has adenoid hypertrophy measuring 2.4x2.2 cm and keeps getting frequent colds and coughs. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried can this be treated with medicines instead? I'd like to avoid surgery if possible, what are our options?

If she is getting symptoms like mouth breathing and snoring, recurrent ear infection, it's better to go for surgery adenoidectomy.
