If your child is frequently snoring and getting colds, it may be due to enlarged adenoids or tonsils. Consult an ENT specialist to assess whether surgery (like adenoidectomy or tonsillectomy) is needed.

View allI've been having this sharp pin-pricking sensation in my throat whenever I swallow saliva. It usually happens the first time after it goes away, but then the same pain comes back after a little while. It's been like this for the past two weeks. Could you tell me what's going on and what I should do?

I'm experiencing a weird sound in my right ear every now and then. It kind of sounds like a motor running or a continuous 'gu gu gu' noise. I can't quite figure it out. It mostly happens when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it just stops on its own. I'm really confused about what's going on. Any idea what this could be?
The whooshing sound in sync with your heartbeat is likely due to: 1. Pulsatile tinnitus 2. Eustachian tube dysfunction 3. Vascular issues (e.g., abnormal blood flow) Consult an ENT specialist or an audiologist for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.

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
