Question 1

My 5-year-old just had adenoid surgery and I'm a bit confused do adenoids grow back after removal? I've heard mixed things about whether this is a permanent fix or if they might return over time. Also, how effective is this surgery in the short term versus long term for kids? Really want to understand if this will fully solve their breathing issues or if we might face the same problems again later

Accepted Answer

It's also possible for your child's adenoids to grow back. It's impossible to remove all traces of the tissue since the adenoids are so far back in your child's nasal passage. If the tissue continues to cause problems, your child may need surgery twice. This is extremely rare.

Question 2

I've been having some trouble with my sense of smell lately, it's been about a month now where I can't really pick up on any scents at all. I'm a 40-year-old guy, and this is starting to get a bit concerning. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

Question 3

I'm using cepodem xp 325, Sinarest, and a nasal spray. I was just wondering, how long after using the nasal spray can I do steam inhalation? I read somewhere that the nasal spray works for around 12 hours, so is it okay to do steam maybe 5 or 6 hours after the spray?

Accepted Answer

It is generally recommended to wait at least 1-2 hours after using a nasal spray before doing steam inhalation. This allows the nasal spray to be absorbed properly and have its intended effect. So, you can safely do steam inhalation 5-6 hours after using Sinarest nasal spray. Remember to follow the recommended dosage of Sinarest and consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
