I'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.

View allI've been dealing with frequent sinusitis that keeps coming back, and it's causing pain and sensitivity in my upper left teeth. Antibiotics help for a bit, but the issue returns after a few days. Could this be linked to something specific? I've attached images of my nostrils do you think surgery might be necessary, and if so, what would the cost look like?
kindly share report images

How much does SMR and FESS surgery usually cost and do they often get done at the same time? I'm also worried about potential complications what should I be aware of before deciding on these procedures? Is it common to combine SMR with FESS, and what's the typical price range for both? I've heard there might be risks what are the most serious ones I should know about? I'm considering SMR and FESS but not sure about the costs or if they're usually performed together. Also, what kind of complications could happen after these surgeries? What's the average cost for SMR and FESS, and do surgeons typically do them together? I'm a bit nervous about possible side effects what are the big risks? Trying to figure out the expenses for SMR and FESS and whether they're often done in one go. Are there any major complications I should watch out for post-surgery?
Yes , if the symptoms of nasal blockage are due to allergy not due to DNS , you wil still feel nasal block after surgery .. It's your body's immune response towards allergens .. you should get tested for allegry . it can controlled but not cured.

I'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?
Take anti-allergic tab and steroid nasal spray for 3weeks...it seems it's due to post nasal drip...
