My mom is 66 and has severe asthma. She's had a pleomorphic adenoma in her parotid gland for 20 years and was advised to get a superficial parotidectomy. But her pulmonologist said local anesthesia would be safer due to her lung condition. We're in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh can you recommend a surgeon who can do this procedure under local anesthesia?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For superficial parotidectomy under local anesthesia, consult major ENT hospitals in Visakhapatnam—seek anesthesiologist with high-risk surgery experience.

I've been dealing with a sore throat for the past two days. I tried taking Monteklc, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any idea why it might not be working and what else I could try for relief?
Since Montek-LC (a combination of levocetirizine and montelukast) is primarily an antihistamine and anti-asthmatic medication, its effectiveness for throat pain may be limited; consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and alternative treatments, such as antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected, or pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help alleviate throat pain.
