My 5.5-year-old has been getting ear pain every few months, and three different ENT specialists recommended adenoid removal and grommets for fluid based on audiometry and impedance tests. We're hesitant about surgery at his age how do we know if the pain or frequency is severe enough to really need it?

Based on the recommendations of multiple ENT specialists and the presence of recurrent ear pain, the advice to remove adenoids and insert grommets is likely due to chronic ear infections and/or glue ear (fluid buildup in the middle ear).

View allI've had this tiny white spot at the back of my right tonsil for about 10 days now. I first went to a general doctor who said it was a bacterial infection and gave me an antibiotic, Poxivio 200, but it didnt help. So, I saw an ENT specialist. He said its just food debris and removed a small part of it, but it hasn't all gone away. He mentioned not removing all of it to avoid blood loss and just told me to do warm gargles and take Zadonase tablets. Should I be worried about this spot hanging around?
It sounds like the white spot at the back of your right tonsil is likely due to food debris, as mentioned by the ENT specialist. The tablet Zadonase prescribed by the ENT specialist can help with any inflammation or infection in the area. Additionally, warm gargles can help alleviate any discomfort and promote healing. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment and continue with the warm gargles as advised. If the white spot does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it would be best to follow up with the ENT specialist for further evaluation.
