I'm really worried because I had a tympanoplasty before, and it didn't work out. The doctors mentioned that if I decide to try again, there's only a 50% chance of success. I'm feeling unsure about what to do next. Could you provide some guidance on this situation?

I've been having trouble breathing, and my CT scan showed DNS towards the left with a spur in the right and enlarged nasopharyngeal tonsil. I've attached the scan could you check if the DNS is severe enough for surgery or if it might improve with meds? I've been using fluticasone spray for a month with slight improvement, but the issue persists. Should I wait longer or consider adenoidectomy if the adenoids are maximally enlarged?

My son's recent x-ray report shows he has severe adenoid hypertrophy, and the doctor suggested surgery. I'm really worried and wondering if there's any treatment option other than surgery. Also, if we do go the surgery route, is it a permanent solution, or is there a possibility that the problem might come back later?
