It's understandable to be concerned about tongue-tie release surgery for your 6-month-old baby. While the procedure is generally safe, especially for infants, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks with your pediatrician or a specialist like an ENT or pediatric dentist. General anesthesia is also safe for infants, but it's a factor to consider in the overall decision

I'm a bit worried about my health and could use some advice. I've been smoking hookah and cigarettes daily, and I'm starting to notice that I've got a constant sore throat and this white coating on my tongue. Could these habits be causing these issues? I just want to be sure if there's something I should be doing differently. What do you think?
Yes, smoking hookah or cigarettes every day can lead to chronic sore throats and a white coat on the tongue. The chemicals and toxins in tobacco smoke can irritate the throat, leading to inflammation and soreness. Additionally, smoking can also disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the mouth, resulting in a white coating on the tongue. To help alleviate these symptoms, it is important to quit smoking and maintain good oral hygiene.

My right nostril has been completely blocked for the past three months. The doctor diagnosed it as DNS and recommended surgery, but I've been trying homeopathy for a month with no relief. What else can I do to improve this?
If homeopathy hasn’t helped, an ENT might recommend septoplasty or radiofrequency ablation. Nasal sprays and steam inhalation may help temporarily.
