I've had these red bumps on the back of my throat for about a month now, but they don't hurt. I've also been having digestion issues, and I'm wondering if it's all connected. I've been smoking around five cigarettes a day too. What could be going on? Should I be worried?

My 7-year-old son has been suffering from tonsil and adenoid issues for a year now. The doctor recommended a coblation tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, but I'm worried about long-term side effects. Is this procedure safe for kids his age? Should we go ahead with the surgery or explore other options?

Coblation is the safest method for adenotonsillectomy in the current practice.

I'm getting a bit concerned because my mom has been snoring really loudly for the past six months, and the sounds are, well, kind of unusual. Could this be a sign of thyroid issues, or might it be something else altogether?

No it is not
