Hey, I've noticed that when my husband sneezes, there's this really bad smell. It's pretty concerning. He also has bad breath every now and then. What could be causing this? I'm a bit worried.

If this is his only symptom, then it could suggest a sinus infection. If the smell is perceived by everyone, but not your husband himself, it coulf be suggestive of atrophic rhinitis. In either case, it is recommendable to get an ENT specialist's opinion.

Question

I've been dealing with this really painful and persistent issue where the inside of my right nostril is dried out and raw and it just won't heal. It's been ongoing for about 8 months now and I've even been to the ER twice. I've tried everything from antibiotics to all the natural remedies I could think of like humidifiers, ice, heat packs, vaseline, coconut oil, saline spray, pain medications, and even steam, but nothing seems to work. The pain is worse than anything I've experiencedeven worse than childbirth. I'm super worried. What else could be causing this problem?

Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat that started a couple of months ago. I took antibiotics for a week, and it seemed to clear up. But theres this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side of my throat. After meals, tiny food particles and debris get trapped there, and I often have to gargle to get rid of them. There's no pain, fever, or cough, but I recently removed a tonsil stone myself. Should I be worried that this is something serious? Im concerned and would appreciate some advice. Oh, and the picture I took is inverted, where left means right and right means left.

I've got this ringing sound in my left ear after getting a slap from my mom. I'm not really sure what's going on or what I should do about it. Any thoughts on what might have happened?
