I've been noticing yellow mucus when I sneeze, and it's weird because I don't actually have a cold right now. It's been a while, like three months, dealing with this stuffy nose. I'm a smoker and I've never had issues with my sinuses before. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

Question

I'm dealing with something really concerning and would love some advice. Whenever I get super stressed, like genuinely overwhelmed to the point of crying, my throat and tonsils start swelling up. It's like I'm right on the brink of an infection, and within a few days, I'm usually stuck going to the hospital for antibiotics. It just becomes so difficult to breathe, and the swelling never seems to subside, no matter how much I try to rest. It really feels almost exactly like strep throat, but it only happens after really stressful or traumatic events. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Question

I recently started taking Mucolite SR for the sticky mucus at the back of my nose. I'm unsure whether it's better to take it in the morning before food or in the evening. Could you advise on the best time to take it? I'm really eager to know what would work best for my situation.

Question

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?
