Question

I've been dealing with a lot of sneezing, a running nose, and now a blocked nose for over 20 days, and my head feels heavy. I tried taking cetrizine and cetgel, but they haven't helped. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?

Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or an allergist to rule out underlying conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or nasal polyps; in addition to Cetrizine and Cetgel, you may want to try other treatments like nasal saline irrigation, steam inhalation, or immunotherapy; also, ask your doctor about alternative medications like Montelukast, Azelastine, or Fluticasone nasal spray, which may provide relief from your symptoms.

Question

I'm dealing with what I think might be vertigo issuesfeeling like I'm spinning and having trouble keeping my balance. My ENT doctor recommended Vertin 16 mg about 8 months ago, and I've been taking it as needed. I'm just wondering, is this something that can be cured over time? Also, should I make it a point to consult my doctor every single time these symptoms show up, or is it okay to manage it with the medication on my own? What do you suggest?

Question

I've had a sinus infection since I was 16, and I've tried so many antibiotics like Cefixime, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin, and Azithromycin, but none of them are working for me anymore. I'm really stuck and unsure of what to try next. Is there any other treatment I could consider?

Question

I've been told to take steam twice a day to help with throat, ear, and nose issues, but I'm worried if doing this regularly might lead to pneumonia in the lungs. Can inhaling too much steam actually cause such problems?
