I've had a blocked nose for 10 years after a nose injury that made my bone tilt to the left side. Could this be the main reason I keep getting colds? Is there a permanent fix like surgery that could finally clear this up for good?

My son has an adenoids issue and the doctor suggested surgery, but we're really hesitant about going that route. Is there any other alternative treatment or option available for this that doesn't involve surgery?

You can opt for conservative management as well but getting operated and removed fas it is the solution for it.

I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?

It looks like acute tonsillitis with pharyngitis.

I've been dealing with swollen tonsils for around 3 years now, and every so often, there's this thick yellow stuff that comes out from the tonsil crypts. I've tried various antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. There's no pain or fever, just the swelling. What could be going on, and is there something else I should try?

The persistent swollen tonsils with occasional thick yellow discharge from tonsil crypts, despite multiple antibiotic treatments, suggest a chronic condition, possibly chronic tonsillitis or recurring tonsilloliths (tonsil stones); consider consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough evaluation, which may include a tonsillectomy, cryptolysis, or other procedures to address the underlying cause and alleviate symptoms.
