If your child is frequently snoring and getting colds, it may be due to enlarged adenoids or tonsils. Consult an ENT specialist to assess whether surgery (like adenoidectomy or tonsillectomy) is needed.

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my throat, and it's really tough to swallow. There's also this annoying feeling like a lump's stuck in my throat. Any idea what might be going on?
Persistent swollen lymph nodes can be concerning. Given the FNAC result shows reactive lymph nodes, it's likely a benign condition. Consider the following steps: - Consult a hematologist or an oncologist for a second opinion. - Rule out underlying conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or autoimmune disorders. - Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans may help identify the cause. - Excisional biopsy might be necessary if the node persists. Don't hesitate to seek a specialist's opinion for further guidance.

I've noticed that I'm seeing blood when I spit, especially in the mornings. Should I be concerned about this, and do you think I need any tests? How should I go about getting treatment for this?
Seeing blood while spitting can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Tests such as a complete blood count (CBC), coagulation studies, and imaging studies may be recommended to determine the cause of the bleeding. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as tranexamic acid to help with clotting, antibiotics if there is an infection, or corticosteroids for inflammation. The dosage and duration of medication will depend on the specific diagnosis made by your healthcare provider.
