I've been using nasal drops for around 10 years now because I can't seem to breathe through my nose properly. I'm starting to worry if this is really bad for me. Should I be concerned about how long Ive been using them? Is there anything else I can do to help with my breathing?

Question

I'm worried because yesterday I made a mistake and used hand sanitizer on my face and inside my nostrils when something dirty fell on me. I know I shouldn't have done it, and now I'm a bit concerned about any possible issues. I'm having a slight headache and the air I breathe through my nose feels warm. Could the alcohol in the hand sanitizer be drying out my nostrils? Could there be any side effects from this?

Question

I've had this tiny white spot at the back of my right tonsil for about 10 days now. I first went to a general doctor who said it was a bacterial infection and gave me an antibiotic, Poxivio 200, but it didnt help. So, I saw an ENT specialist. He said its just food debris and removed a small part of it, but it hasn't all gone away. He mentioned not removing all of it to avoid blood loss and just told me to do warm gargles and take Zadonase tablets. Should I be worried about this spot hanging around?

Question

I've been dealing with this dry cough for the past 10 days and I went to see a doctor. They gave me antibiotics and anti-allergy meds, but I'm not seeing any improvement. The doctor checked and said my chest and throat are clear. A few days ago, they suggested I use betadine solution for gargling, but my voice is still blocked and this dry cough just won't go away. Any idea what might be going on or what else I should try?
