I've been experiencing a strange pricking sensation at the back of my tongue, deep in my throat. It's been happening since I had some roasted jeera powder mixed with lemon water. Thankfully, it doesn't hurt and I can still eat normally, but the sensation is definitely there. Do you have any advice on what I can do to ease this?

View allMy daughter is 6 years old and she has adenoids. The main issue we're seeing is that she really snores a lot at night. To try and avoid surgery, someone mentioned that we could use metaspray and give her Montair LC at night. I'm really curious about whether that's a good idea or not. Any advice would be great!
Metaspray is a nasal spray containing Mometasone which is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. Montair LC is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast helps in reducing inflammation in the airways and Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that helps in relieving allergy symptoms. These medications can help reduce nasal congestion, inflammation, and snoring associated with adenoids. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I'm really curious about how nasal congestion might impact oxygen levels in the body. Is it possible that having a stuffy nose could actually reduce how much oxygen my body is getting? I'm a bit worried about this and would love to understand it better.
Yes, nasal congestion can decrease oxygen saturation levels, as it reduces airflow through the nasal passages, leading to reduced oxygen intake, which can cause a drop in oxygen saturation levels, especially in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or sleep apnea.
