Question

My 5-year-old son snores a lot and keeps getting cold, cough, and fever with small weather changes. One doctor suggested an X-ray to check for adenoid issues, and now an ENT specialist is recommending adenoid surgery. Is surgery really necessary for a kid his age, and if so, which hospital would be best for this procedure?

Adenoid surgery, or adenoidectomy, is often recommended for children experiencing persistent snoring, recurrent infections, or breathing difficulties due to enlarged adenoids. While 5 years old is a common age for this procedure, the decision to proceed with surgery depends on the severity of symptoms and the child's overall health. If your son's symptoms are impacting his sleep, development, or causing frequent infections, an ENT specialist may recommend adenoidectomy

I'm experiencing some ear pain and it kind of feels like there's water sloshing around in my head. The doctor prescribed me drep drops and Swich CV tablets. Should I be concerned about this feeling or these medications? How do they actually help with what's going on?

Question

I'm dealing with acute tonsillitis and have only throat pain, no fever, cold, or cough symptoms. It started on Monday, May 7th. For the first three days, I did saltwater gargles and had ginger honey, but only saw minimal improvement. So, I went to the doctor who prescribed me Zocef 500 to take twice a day. I've been taking it since Thursday, but the recovery has been really slow; today's the third day and I still feel the throat pain. I'm wondering, if I had taken Azithromycin 500 instead, would it have worked faster on the pain and bacterial infection? I've used it before and noticed a quicker recovery. Is Zocef 500 better than Azithromycin 500? If so, why am I still experiencing throat pain after taking 5 tablets?

Question

Is BPPV something I should be worried about? I've been feeling really dizzy when I go to bed or get up, and the doctor mentioned it's BPPV. Is this a serious issue?
