Ear, Nose and Throat Health Tips for Elders

Hi, my name is Gopa, and after more than seven decades on this planet, I have noticed that there is little to no one-size-fits-all medical advice. I used to suffer from a lot of throat infections, and I did a lot of research on the issue. I discovered that elders need to safeguard their ears, noses and throats in ways that may not be applicable to children or middle-aged people.
