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.

I'm having trouble finding a place in Gurgaon where they give polio drops. We're keeping up with regular immunization like DPT, but I'm wondering if we also need to join these government polio drop programs. Is it necessary?
Since your child is already receiving regular immunizations, including DPT, they are likely protected against polio. However, participating in government-led polio drop programs can provide additional protection, especially since India is still at risk of wild poliovirus importation. To find a place in Gurgaon where polio drops are administered, you can try contacting local health authorities or visiting the National Health Mission website for more information. Additionally, you can reach out to your child's pediatrician for guidance on polio vaccination and drops.

I'm a bit worried about my son who's just 2 months and 16 days old. He doesn't really show any obvious symptoms of a cold but I've noticed he sneezes once or twice in the evenings and sometimes I hear a sound from his chest, although not consistently. Could this mean he has a cold or cough, even though he doesn't have a runny or stuffy nose? What should I do?
