my 3.5 year old has enlarged adenoids and tonsils and the doctor recommended surgery is it safe for a child this young what should I do
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be concerned about the safety of surgery for a 3.5-year-old with enlarged adenoids and tonsils. While surgery is generally considered safe, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks in your child's specific case. A more conservative approach of watchful waiting and medical management until the child is 6-7 years old is often recommended, as adenoids and tonsils tend to naturally shrink by this age

View allI'm having this odd issue where my voice changes a little after I've been speaking for a while, and people often mention it sounds like I have two different voices. It's not causing any pain or problems with my neck, but it's just really bothering me. Do you have any idea why this might be happening and what I could do about it?

I'm trying to understand how to use Tufpro suspension. Is it meant to be swallowed like a regular medication, or is it supposed to be used just for rinsing the mouth and then spit out? I'm a bit confused about how to take it properly.
Tufpro Suspension is typically an oral medication that is meant to be swallowed. It is not intended for gargling and spitting out.

my mom has about 30% hearing loss and we're wondering if surgery is the only option or are there other treatments that could help her
For 30% hearing loss, hearing aids are usually the primary treatment option, rather than surgery. Hearing aids amplify sounds and improve speech understanding, especially in quiet environments. While surgery, like a cochlear implant, might be considered for more severe hearing loss, it's not the initial approach for moderate hearing loss
