My uvula is looking really red and I can see a lot of veins on it. There's also a small sore on the side. I don't have a fever, but it feels really dry and uncomfortable in the mornings. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

I'm really concerned because for the past 6 months, my tonsils have been swollen with these pus pockets. It all started when I got the flu, but they've stayed enlarged since then. At first, there wasn't any pain, but now there's some discomfort. I haven't been on any medication and haven't gotten sick after the flu. What could be going on here? Is this something I should worry about?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm worried about my 10-year-old son because he has some wax built up in his ears. I've heard about using Clearwax ear drops, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Can you give me some advice on how to use them properly to clean his ears? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Instill two drops in each ear three times in a day,the wax would come out on its own,do not attempt to remove it.

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for a while and recently saw a homeopath who said it's turned into nasal polyps. Is there any way to treat nasal polyps without having to go through surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible.

polypectomy is advised to the patient.
