My 6-year-old daughter has had enlarged adenoids for the last 4 years, and we really want to avoid surgery. We've seen multiple doctors in Bangalore, but nothing has helped. She constantly has a runny nose and breathes through her mouth. We take extreme care she only eats homemade food, drinks warm water, avoids milk and curd, and can't even play outside or wash hands with normal tap water. Her immunity seems very weak, and she struggles with basic things like taking a head bath without staying indoors the whole day. It's heartbreaking to see her like this. Is there any way to improve her condition without surgery? How can we strengthen her immunity and help her live a normal life?

I've been feeling this mild pain on the left side of my throat, but only when I yawn. It's weird because swallowing food doesn't hurt at all. This has been happening on and off for the past week. The pain seems to be on the outside rather than inside my throat, and there's no swelling that I can see. What could this be? Is there something I should be worried about?

Could be due to muscle strain or irritation. Since you do not experience pain while swallowing food and there is no swelling in your throat, it is less likely to be an infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help with the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using throat lozenges or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
