My daughter is 6 years old and she has adenoids. The main issue we're seeing is that she really snores a lot at night. To try and avoid surgery, someone mentioned that we could use metaspray and give her Montair LC at night. I'm really curious about whether that's a good idea or not. Any advice would be great!

Metaspray is a nasal spray containing Mometasone which is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. Montair LC is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast helps in reducing inflammation in the airways and Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that helps in relieving allergy symptoms. These medications can help reduce nasal congestion, inflammation, and snoring associated with adenoids. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I've noticed this white spot on my left tonsil for the past couple of days. There's no pain, no swelling, no sore throat or fever, and I've never had any issues with my tonsils before. This is the first time seeing something like this, and I'm a bit concerned. Could you help me understand what it might be?

I had sinus surgery back in 2011 for allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. These days I don't have the usual sneezing, cold, or post nasal drip but I keep getting this low-grade fever with body aches and a heavy feeling in my forehead. Could this still be sinus-related even though I don't have other symptoms? What treatment would work best and how long before I see results? Homeopathy didn't fully help last time but I'm hoping there's still a way to manage this.

I'm really worried. I was cleaning my daughter's ears and she moved, causing the tip to go too far in. Her ear started bleeding a little and she cried for a minute, but now she says she can hear fine and has gone back to doing her normal activities. I'm still freaking out. What should I do?

No need to worry when she has no symptoms,just observe for any discharge or so,if not you can forget about it.
