I've noticed a swollen area in my throat, and I recently had an FNAC test, which showed something called reactive lymphoid. I used to have breast cancer, but I'm doing well now. Could you explain what reactive lymphoid means and what kind of treatment I might need? I'm really worried about what this could mean, especially considering my history with cancer.

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?
Adenoid surgery, or adenoidectomy, is often recommended for children experiencing persistent snoring, recurrent infections, or breathing difficulties due to enlarged adenoids. While 5 years old is a common age for this procedure, the decision to proceed with surgery depends on the severity of symptoms and the child's overall health. If your son's symptoms are impacting his sleep, development, or causing frequent infections, an ENT specialist may recommend adenoidectomy
