Has severe allergy cold. Underwent surgery for adenoid and tonsils. Difficulty breathing. Why?
Patient: HELLO SIR My son 12 years old is suffering from severe allergy cold for the past 4 years.last year he underwent a surgery for adenoid and tonsils.for the past 4 years he is under medication and takes levocetrizine tablet daily.but now he suffers from severe block in the nose and finds very difficult to breathe.now again he is suggested to go for a laser surgery in the nose for sinus and bent in the nose bone.we are helpless now.please suggest us the correct solution.please Doctor: Hello dear,Thanks for writing at HCMAs your son is only 12 year old.and last year he went for surgery and now in present if he has very much difficulty in breathing due to internal structure of nose the medication alone will not help.If their is a severe block then it could pressure on his other veins damaging it.So it is better to go to a specialize,who could diagnose the actual problem and suggest you betterHowever if your child goes after the doctor say for surgery then make sure it is done from specialize person in that field .But you dont need to worry, these surgeries do not have much complications and now days done successfully without any complication but a proper study of that individual case  or condition is neededThanksDr M.IqbalPsychologist & Psychiatrist
