My daughter needs adenoid and tonsil surgery but I'm confused about the coblation machine. Is it always necessary for these procedures? Also can you suggest hospitals in Bangalore that do this surgery without coblation since our insurance doesn't cover it and the extra cost is quite high - around 9k to 18k in Koramangala hospitals

Coblation surgery for adenoids and tonsils is not always necessary. While it offers benefits like less pain and bleeding, it's not essential for all procedures. You can find hospitals in Bangalore that perform traditional adenoid and tonsil removal without coblation, especially since your insurance doesn't cover it and you're looking to minimize costs

View allI've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?
Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.

I'm experiencing this odd tick tick sound in my nose quite frequently, and every time I hear it, it seems like my nose suddenly clears up, but I dont have a cold. Could this be a sign of something serious?
it's unlikely to be anything major. it may be sound of secretions moving in a narrow space of your nose. anyways for confirmation you can consult nearby ENT specialist

I'm a 26-year-old and generally in good health, but I've been experiencing blood streaks in my sputum every morning for the past 5 years, especially during the winter or when I catch a cold. I've seen an ENT specialist who mentioned DNS, but I noticed I'm not breathing through my mouth. My X-ray came back normal, and besides a dry and sore throat on those days, there are no other symptoms. What should I be doing about this?
Consult a pulmonologist for a thorough evaluation, including a high-resolution CT scan, bronchoscopy, or pulmonary function tests, to rule out underlying conditions
