My 3-year-old son has been suffering from adenoids for the past 10 months, confirmed by his pediatrician. We saw an ENT who recommended surgery when he was 2 years 8 months old, but we opted for homeopathic treatment instead. He's still struggling with breathing issues, especially in cold weather. Are there any non-surgical or long-term medication alternatives that could help him?

View allI'm kind of worried about my recent neck x-ray. It showed enlarged adenoids, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be concerned about? I don't really have any symptoms, but I do feel like there's something swollen in my neck. Does this sound like something serious?
ince you are not currently experiencing significant symptoms, it is likely that the enlarged adenoids are not a cause for immediate concern. However, it is still a good idea to discuss your X-ray results with your doctor for further evaluation. They can help determine if any follow-up is needed or if simple measures can manage the condition effectively.

I'm hearing these weird sizzling sounds in my throat, it's almost like a slow sizzle or maybe like water trickling really slowly. I've done all the tests, even for covid, and they all came back negative. I also feel like I need to cough, but I never actually do. What's going on? Can you help me figure this out?
That could be post nasal drip, visit ENT doctor to rule out any signs of DNS or Sinusitis.

I've been dealing with this dry cough for over two weeks whenever I'm drinking water or eating, and it lasts for at least a minute or breaks up as I eat. I used to have intercostal muscle pain for a couple of months, but that's a lot better now. Recently, I've noticed a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck, though it doesn't hurt. My throat's also started getting itchy and swollen now. I don't have a fever or problems with swallowing or breathing, but I can't help but wonder if these issues are connected somehow. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of postnasal drip, which can lead to a dry cough, throat irritation, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. The intercostal muscle pain you were experiencing could also be contributing to the discomfort. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the throat irritation and postnasal drip. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your throat as needed. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke or strong odors. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
