My 5-year-old daughter has adenoid hypertrophy measuring 2.4x2.2 cm and keeps getting frequent colds and coughs. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried can this be treated with medicines instead? I'd like to avoid surgery if possible, what are our options?

View allIs there any way to fix a deviated septum without surgery? My breathing is really bad through one nostril and I'm wondering if exercises or massages could help
While exercises or massage can't correct a deviated septum, they may help manage symptoms like nasal congestion and make breathing easier. Surgery (septoplasty) is the only definitive treatment for a deviated septum

I'm currently on cephalexin for my tonsillitis and I'm just curious, is it okay to smoke marijuana while taking this medication? I'm worried if it might make the cephalexin less effective or if there could be any bad reactions.
I would not recommend smoking marijuana while taking cephalexin for tonsillitis. Smoking marijuana can potentially decrease the effectiveness of cephalexin and may also increase the risk of certain side effects. It is best to avoid smoking marijuana while on this antibiotic.

I've been dealing with a throat infection for like 45 days now, and I had shivering on that very first day. Ever since then, I've had a 102 fever constantly. I've tried medications like Combiflam and Ronemox 500. The fever's finally calming down, but my throat is still really bothering me, especially when I swallow anything. It's pretty painful. Any idea what's going on or what else I can do?
