My daughter has been breathing through her mouth and the x-ray showed enlarged adenoids. The doctors recommended surgery but we're wondering if homeopathy could help instead. Is it possible to treat this without surgery?

Treatment depends on how severe the condition is. If your child's enlarged adenoids aren't infected, the doctor may not recommend surgery. Instead, the doctor may choose to simply wait and see if the adenoids shrink on their own as your child gets older.

I'm a 34-year-old guy who's been dealing with off-and-on nasal congestion for as long as I can remember. I just had an x-ray of my nose and the PNS result showed some haziness in the right maxillary sinus. My ENT doctor has put me on a course of amoxclav for five days, plus I'm using a fluticasone nasal spray and taking telecast L tablets. I'm really curious about what's causing this haziness. Is it something that happens often, or is there any reason I should be worried? Would appreciate some insight.

Thats common. Its sinusitis. Infection. Continue the medicines. Take steam inhalation 3-4 times a day Avoild refrigerated citruis fruits

I've been noticing these holes in my tonsils for a while now, and it seems like they're getting worse. Is this something that happens normally, or should I be thinking about getting my tonsils removed?

It is normal.. Unless you are getting recurrent infection you need not remove
