View allI'm really struggling with a persistent mucus issue that's been going on for about 8 years, which feels unreal to me. Lately, it's gotten worse with this smooth white mucus constantly forming in my throat. I find myself needing to clear it out every few minutes which triggers coughing too. I'm worried and could really use some guidance on what might be happening and how to manage this. Could you help with some advice?
It might be due to continuously ongoing irritation in oral cavity... You should also be examined for any respiratory Tract infection...

I went to get a hearing aid and the dealer took an ear impression but now there's material stuck in my middle ear after the CT scan. What should I do next and which hospital is best for this? If surgery is needed, could there be complications like damage to the incus or stapes when removing the material?
Go to an ENT surgeon with expertise in otologic surgery. Extraction under microscopic guidance is safe, but risks like ossicle damage must be discussed beforehand.

My 4.5-year-old son has trouble breathing and always breathes through his mouth due to enlarged adenoids. The ENT recommended surgery. I want to understand the difference between normal surgery and coblation technique are there any side effects with coblation? Which one should we go for?
In an adenoidectomy, the main difference between the traditional method (curettage) and coblation technique lies in how the adenoid tissue is removed and the potential for residual tissue. Coblation, while sometimes considered more precise, can still have some side effects like bleeding and infection, and there's a small chance of adenoid regrowth. Ultimately, the best choice for your child depends on your ENT's expertise, your child's specific situation, and your comfort level with the risks and benefits of each technique.
