Aarav Nair is a 7-year-old boy...
Aarav Nair is a 7-year-old boy who loves cricket and is usually full of energy. For the past year, his parents noticed he was constantly congested, breathing loudly through his mouth, and snoring heavily at night. He frequently had ear infections and complained of a persistent sore throat, which made him irritable and tired at school. His pediatrician referred him to an ENT specialist, Dr. Sharma, who diagnosed chronic adenoiditis after a nasal endoscopy. The enlarged adenoids were blocking his Eustachian tubes and nasal passages. Dr. Sharma recommended an adenoidectomy, explaining it would help Aarav breathe, sleep, and hear better. The procedure was done under general anesthesia and took about 30 minutes. Aarav was anxious about the 'sleep medicine' but the nurses were very kind. In recovery, he had a sore throat and was on soft foods for a week. Within two weeks, his snoring stopped, his ear infections cleared up, and his energy returned. Emotionally, Aarav went from being a frustrated, tired boy to his cheerful, active self again, much to his parents' relief and joy.
