Question 1

My 3-year-old son has been suffering from adenoids for the past 10 months, confirmed by his pediatrician. We saw an ENT who recommended surgery when he was 2 years 8 months old, but we opted for homeopathic treatment instead. He's still struggling with breathing issues, especially in cold weather. Are there any non-surgical or long-term medication alternatives that could help him?

Accepted Answer

Non-surgical alternatives for adenoids include nasal steroids,allergy management,and physiotherapy.ENT consult needed if symptoms persist.

Question 2

My 3-year-old has frequent swelling and infections in the neck area from adenoid issues, along with constant high fever and runny nose. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the adenoids, but we're hesitant because of his age. Are there other options we can try first?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are often alternative approaches to address adenoid issues in young children before considering surgery. Instead of immediate removal, your doctor might recommend a course of antibiotics to address any bacterial infections, along with nasal sprays to reduce swelling. If the adenoids are not causing significant breathing difficulties or infections, they can be monitored to see if they shrink naturally as the child grows older

Question 3

I heard about a new treatment that can fix an eardrum hole without surgery or skin grafts. Is this available in India? How effective is it and where can I find doctors who offer this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the treatment you're inquiring about, typically referred to as "laser myringoplasty" or "laser myringotomy," is available in India. It's a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to repair minor eardrum perforations or meniscal tears without requiring skin grafts or traditional surgery.

I've had Saunf stuck in my throat since this morning and it's constantly irritating me. I've already tried some home remedies like eating banana with honey and gargling with hot water, but it hasn't worked. What else can I do to get rid of it?
