My 7-year-old son has been suffering from tonsil and adenoid issues for a year now. The doctor recommended a coblation tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, but I'm worried about long-term side effects. Is this procedure safe for kids his age? Should we go ahead with the surgery or explore other options?

Coblation is the safest method for adenotonsillectomy in the current practice.

I'm dealing with Granular Pharyngitis and have been for a few years now. My throat constantly feels heavy and clogged with cough, and I find myself needing to clear it all the time. It's tough to talk sometimes, and my voice has gone hoarse permanently. I saw a local ENT specialist, but I didn't get much help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? Any advice on dealing with this would be really appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Granular Pharyngitis. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your voice and makes talking difficult. Seeking a second opinion is a good idea, as a more thorough evaluation and treatment plan can help manage symptoms better. It might be useful to look into lifestyle changes, medication, or even voice therapy depending on the severity.

Both have equal effect you can use both.
