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.

After eating chicken about a year ago, I felt like a bone got stuck in my throat. I went to an ENT specialist and got an X-ray, which turned out normal. A few months ago, I felt that same stuck sensation in the same spot after eating something and ended up coughing and vomiting, which made me feel better. Today, I had food and felt the same thing again, same spot, and I coughed and vomited again, but this time, I noticed some bloody sputum, and I've had a cough for the last two days. Im wondering why its the same spot every time and if the blood could be related to this cough and cold. What do you think might be going on?

I've had enlarged tonsils for over a year now - can homeopathy actually shrink them back to normal size or is surgery better? The doctor just glanced and said I have big tonsils without any tests, but I've been taking meds. What symptoms do people usually get with enlarged tonsils - like trouble swallowing or sore throat all the time?

tonsilectomy is advised .
