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've been having this sore throat for the past day, and it really hurts when I sleep or take a sip of water. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm starting to worry a bit. Could this be a sign of something I should be concerned about, or maybe something I need to do to make it better?
Throat pain that worsens during sleep and while drinking water could be due to inflammation or infection. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (e.g., Cepacol) to help numb the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists for more than a few days or if you develop other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

I'm noticing blood in my saliva occasionally, but there's no cough accompanying it. My IgE levels were elevated a couple of months ago. I'm really curious about what might be causing this. Any ideas?
Consult with a general physician or pulmonologist for proper assessment..get a chest x-ray, blood count and montoux test to rule out tubercular infection..

I've been dealing with a sore throat and notice redness along with little pimples, but they don't seem to have that yellow stuff. A doctor once suggested I use lorfast Am and it seemed to help. Is it safe to take lorfast Am every day for allergies, or should I wait and only use it when those symptoms start up?
use medicine
