My 4.6-year-old son has been struggling with adenoid issues for a year now and sometimes can't breathe properly through his mouth. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure what's the latest and safest type of adenoidectomy available? Is going for surgery the right choice for his age?

You can attempt conservative line of treatment(intranasal corticosteroid sprays) till his 5th birthday. If it does not regress by then, please have him undergo Coblation assisted Adenoidectomy under GA.

View allI'm really struggling with sinus issues and just wanted some advice. For the past couple of months, I've been having this pain on the left side of my forehead that goes down to my nose. There's also this yellowish, smelly discharge that keeps coming from the left side of my nose. I just had a CTPNS done and it showed moderate mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus, causing about 70 to 80% of air space to opacify, and it's reaching into the middle meatus through the maxillary ostium. There's also some moderate thickening in the bilateral ethmoid air cells and mild thickening in the bilateral frontal sphenoid sinuses. I've got bilateral concha bullosa with secondary mucosal thickening too. I've been on medication for the past 15 days things like Augmentin 625, Allegra M, Defza 6mg, Ezicas nasal spray, and Enzoflam. They help for a bit, but after 7 to 8 hours, the symptoms just come back. What do you suggest I do now?
Its essential to complete the prescribed medication course, as it can help reduce inflammation and infection and if youre not experiencing lasting relief after 2 weeks of consistent medication.If medications are not resolving the issue, consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

My mom has two vocal cord nodules and her voice isn't clear. An ENT specialist in Moradabad is recommending surgery, but I'm wondering if there's any way to treat this without going for an operation. Are there other options we can try first?
Yes, there are definitely non-surgical options to try before considering surgery for vocal cord nodules. Voice therapy, vocal rest, and sometimes medications can be effective in managing these nodules and improving voice quality.

I've noticed a kind of swelling behind my uvula that I can feel with my tongue. Could this be nasal polyps or something else? I've been kind of worried about it and could use some advice on what this might be.
