My 5-year-old has enlarged adenoids and keeps getting ear infections. The doctor mentioned surgery but I'm worried can medicines shrink adenoids or is surgery the only option? What are the risks if we delay surgery?

Mild to moderate adenoid issues might improve with nasal steroids and avoiding allergens. Persistent infections may require adenoidectomy.

Good morning. I have septoplasty with facial endoscopic sinus surgery on Tuesday what should i do or precautions. I am little bit nervous
It's understandable to feel nervous before a surgery. For your septoplasty and facial endoscopic sinus surgery, focus on following your surgeon's instructions, which will likely include avoiding strenuous activity, keeping the surgical site clean, and potentially using saline rinses. Rest, hydration, and a gentle approach to recovery are key

Hey, I'm really worried about my mom. Shes been dealing with vertigo, and our family doctor says its related to her middle ear. For the past two days, shes been stuck in bed. Every little move makes her so dizzy, and she even vomits when trying to get up. On top of that, staying in bed has caused her shoulder and back to hurt terribly. What can we do to help her feel better and get rid of this quickly? This is all so sudden and she's never had these issues before. She's on vertistar md8 as prescribed. Any advice would be appreciated.
For vertigo symptoms related to the middle ear, it is important to continue taking Vertistar MD-8 as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, I recommend keeping her well-hydrated and ensuring she gets plenty of rest. To alleviate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, she can also take 'Stugeron' which helps in relieving vertigo symptoms. For the shoulder and back pain, she can take 'Flexon' to help with the discomfort. It is advisable for her to avoid sudden head movements and to slowly change positions to prevent triggering vertigo episodes. If her symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.
