Hi Doctor thanks for the video. Are you aware of any long term effects of adenoid and tonsil removal? One study I read suggested increased risk of allergy and lrti in adulthood- what is your opinion?

[@johnwayne397]

saw a video where a guy used a debruter to cut out all of it

Hi I am suffering from allergic fungal rhinitis. Doctor advised me to use beclomethazoline drops in nose. Is it really helpful. Budesonide vs bechlomethazoline which one is better

I regret getting my adenoids removed with my tonsillectomy (age 24) because now I can’t breathe while swallowing or I end up swallowing a bunch of air or sucking water into my lungs. If I knew that would happen I wouldn’t have gotten them removed.

Me have a tonstil problem

[@deniseantoinette5633]

Just had done this morning.

Do yall put people to sleep while yall do their surgery?

[@mamahamka242]

Is it true that adenoids should not be removed completely because there is a risk of exposure to the nerves/parts of the ear tubes? Or can it be removed completely if using the coblation method? Thank you doctor, I hope you answer my question. God bless you ❤
