My 4.5-year-old daughter has adenoid issues and is currently on medication. I'm really worried about surgery are there any effective non-surgical treatments we can try? Her symptoms are bothering her, and I'd love to explore other options before considering surgery. What would you recommend?

Adenoidectomy is a safe procedure in the pediatric population and leads to excellent outcomes. Adverse events are rare, and hospitalization is uncommon. Children with sleep disturbance from nasal airway obstruction, ear disease, or chronic rhinosinusitis are the best operative candidates for this procedure.

View allI'm a bit worried. I've been using Eytex Kajal to put a bindi on my baby's forehead, and now there's a white spot appearing in that area. I also put a small kajal dot on her cheek, but there are no white spots there. Could you help me understand why this is happening and if there's any medication I can give my 5-month-old baby girl?
The white spot that has appeared on your baby's forehead may be a reaction to the ingredients in the kajal. It is possible that the skin on the forehead is more sensitive compared to the cheek, which is why the white spot only appeared in that area. I recommend stopping the use of the eyetex kajal on your baby's forehead to see if the white spot improves. You can apply a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion on the affected area to help soothe the skin. If the white spot does not improve or if it worsens, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 5-year-old son Maxtra syrup. How much should I give him, and are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, is Sinarest syrup a better option? I'm really curious about which one is safer and more effective for my child.
-Yes, you can give **Maxtra syrup** to your 5-year-old for cold symptoms, but the dosage depends on weight, usually 2.5-5ml twice daily. It might cause mild drowsiness or an upset stomach. **Sinarest syrup** is also effective, but consult your pediatricia
