My 2.9-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with adenoids, and we've started antibiotics. The doctor mentioned surgery if the meds don't work, but I'm really hesitant about putting her through surgery at such a young age it's only moderate right now. Any suggestions? I'm really worried as a mom.

I'm looking for some advice because I often get a throat infection when I eat curd or buttermilk, even if I leave it out of the fridge for a bit before eating. It makes me feel feverish and causes body pain, and the whole thing can last for about 45 days. The doctor usually gives me medicine or even antibiotics, and sometimes I have to get a shot for weakness, but I still feel weak for a week afterward. So I've been avoiding curd and buttermilk. I also seem to get throat infections with fever frequently throughout the year, especially during the rainy season. Do you know what's causing this or what I can do right away when I start feeling like I'm getting a throat infection?

I've been diagnosed with cholesteatoma in my left ear and there's a growth that needs to be removed. The doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any other treatment options or if surgery is the only way to get rid of it completely. Is there anything else that can be done?

cholesteatoma surgery also known as mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty ,a surgical procedure to remove non caancerous skin growth in the middle ear.

I'm really concerned about my ear. I had a tympanoplasty about a month ago, and now I'm noticing pus coming from the area. Could this mean that the surgery didn't work, or maybe there's a rupture? I followed all the post-op care instructions my doctor gave me. Can you help me understand what's happening and how I can get better?

That could have got reinfected,you have to use one more course of antibiotics, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management
