my 10 year old daughter breathes through her mouth while sleeping due to adenoids - can this be treated with medicines alone or is surgery the only option
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mouth breathing due to enlarged adenoids can sometimes be treated with medication, but surgery (adenoidectomy) is often recommended for severe cases or if other treatments fail

View allI've been having this pain in my neck and the upper side of my chest, and sometimes it hurts when I swallow. I'm kind of worried and not sure who I should reach out to for help. Could you give me some advice on what this might be and what kind of specialist I should see?
You can use throat lozenges for throat pain. It is also recommended to drink plenty of warm fluids and avoid spicy or acidic foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a medical professional for further evaluation and management. Pain in the neck and upper side of the chest, along with pain during swallowing, could be due to inflammation or infection in the throat or esophagus. This could be caused by conditions such as pharyngitis, esophagitis, or even muscle strain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain relief.

I've been dealing with an echo issue for the past two months and saw two doctors who said it's because of a sinus problem, recommending surgery as the only fix. Is there any other alternative treatment I could try before considering surgery?
2d echo is advised,also cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I have this lump on my neck that I've noticed for about a month now. I've already done FNAC twice. The first result said it was lymphadenitis and the second one mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid. I'm really concerned about whether I might need surgery for this. Could you please advise?
Surgery is usually not required unless there are complications or the swelling does not improve with conservative treatment. I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (500mg, as needed) to help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
