My 4-year-old was told he needs adenoid and tonsil removal plus grommets for ear fluid. Are there other options we could try before surgery? I'm worried about putting him through all that and wondering if there's a less invasive approach

I've had this strange thing happening with my nose recently, where a water-like fluid just starts running from it, but I don't have any cold symptoms at all. This happened once before going to bed and another time while I was exercising. There's no pain around my nose, but I'm curious about what could be causing it. I did have nosebleeds when I was a kid, though they don't happen much anymore. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?

Do you have any history of trauma to nose ? And how often do this happen ?

I'm really struggling with tinnitus and I'm desperate to find a solution. It's been about 4 months now and I've already tried Otocap, Goonj Forte, Lecope, and Cefakind 250, but they only helped reduce the sound by about 50%. My tinnitus started from depression, high blood pressure, and constipation. I'm curious if there's any doctor in India who's successfully treated someone with tinnitus and they fully recovered. I've attached my audiogram report too. Can you share any advice or experiences with treatments that really worked?
