My 15-year-old brother has DNS concha bullosa and the doctor recommended surgery. Is there no other treatment option or should we get a second opinion? His reports show the condition clearly but I'm unsure if surgery is the only way.

View allI'm really concerned about my almost 6-year-old daughter. She's been struggling with a constant cough and cold, and she was doing well for a while on montair lc and some sprays, but now with the weather changes over the last few months, she's caught a cold multiple times and needed antibiotics almost every month. We've been using seroflo and otrivin sprays regularly, but she still has blocked nose and snores at night. Her weight is normal, and she's active otherwise, but our doctor mentioned her adenoids are at grade 4 and suggested surgery. We did a CT scan too. I'm aware she might improve once the weather gets better, but I'm worried about keeping her from catching more colds and infections until then. Should I consider surgery, or is it okay to wait? I've tried homeopathy for a few weeks, but there's no improvement, and it gives her stomach pains. Im really hoping to avoid the surgery route. Is there a chance her adenoids might shrink on their own, or is surgery the only way forward? Any advice would be really appreciated.

my brother has a hole in his right eardrum and hears sounds but they're muffled. he's been on nutramore tablets and azeflo nasal spray for a year as prescribed by the doctor. is there any other treatment besides surgery or meds that can help heal the eardrum hole
The effectiveness of Ayurvedic or Homeopathic treatment depends on the specific condition and individual response. Some mild cases may improve with alternative therapies, but more serious issues might need conventional medical or surgical treatment. It's best to consult both specialists for a balanced approach.

I've been dealing with tonsil stones for about a year now and keep finding small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove some, but the outer ones won't budge. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat. I don't have ear pain, fever, trouble swallowing, or a sore throat just a dry throat. What can I do to relieve this without surgery? I gargle with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis?
Tonsil stones can cause discomfort and bad breath. While you can try home remedies like salt water gargles and coughing to dislodge them, if they persist or cause severe symptoms, consult a doctor. If you have chronic tonsillitis, they might recommend a tonsillectomy to remove the tonsils.
