My son has been dealing with a cold for about 3 months now, and I'm really worried about why it's not getting better. Even after trying different medicines, nothing seems to work. We finally saw a homeopathic doctor, and they mentioned it could be due to adenoids. Ive never heard of adenoids beforecan you explain what they are and how they might be causing these cold symptoms? Is there a reliable way to treat this issue? I'm just looking for some guidance on what to do next.

I'm having trouble with a blocked nose that makes it hard for me to breathe, especially when I'm lying down. I don't have a cough, fever, or runny nose, but I can feel a bit of chest congestion. It's like the inside of my nose, near the bone area, is all blocked up. What can I do to feel better?

Do DNS test

I'm really worried because about 6 months ago, I had severe vertigo and unfortunately, it's returning. Back then, I was told it was BPPV and the Epley maneuver worked like magic. But now, I'm getting that dizzy spinning sensation again and there's this weird sound in my left ear. I've already gone through audiometry and a brain MRI, and thankfully, those tests came back normal. I'm stuck and not sure what to do next. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on what might be going on?

#NAME?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing some pain between my left ear and lower jaw, and sometimes it seems to travel up to my brain. Just today, I noticed a small lump at the back of my throat. Could this be oral cancer? I've been using cool lip tobacco for about 3.5 years now. Would really appreciate your thoughts.
