It's difficult to definitively diagnose whether your nasal issue is polyps or swollen turbinates without a visual examination. However, the symptoms you've described (sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, and sometimes a blocked throat) are common in both conditions, particularly when associated with allergic rhinitis, which you've also mentioned. Treatment options beyond surgery for both nasal polyps and turbinate hypertrophy include medications and lifestyle changes

View allI'm in the research field studying chemistry and recently I've been having some issues. My nose has been really dry and I'm also experiencing dry blood, which is quite painful, especially in the mornings. Could any doctors provide advice on how to deal with this?
Humidification and hydration are key to relieving nasal dryness. Saline sprays, nasal gels, and petroleum jelly can help soothe and moisturize your nasal passages. If the problem persists or worsens, consulting a doctor, especially an ENT specialist, is recommended.

I'm really struggling with my left nostril being blocked for over a month now, and it's tough to breathe easily. It's causing me these massive headaches and my nose keeps running. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?
Sounds like a painful and uncomfortable situation! Your symptoms suggest: 1. *Tonsillitis*: Inflammation of the tonsils, likely caused by a bacterial (e.g., streptococcal) or viral infection. 2. *Strep throat*: A bacterial infection that can cause swollen, red, and white-spotted tonsils. Seek medical attention from an *ENT specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may: 1. Perform a *rapid strep test* or *throat culture* to confirm the diagnosis. 2. Prescribe *antibiotics* (if bacterial) or recommend *supportive care* (if viral). 3. Provide guidance on *pain management* and *hydration*. In the meantime, try: 1. *Staying hydrated* with plenty of fluids. 2. *Gargling with salt water* to soothe the throat. 3. *Using a humidifier* to add moisture to the air. Feel better soon!

I'm feeling this heaviness or pressure on the right side of my throat, like there's some pain there. There's no fever, cough, or anything like that. When I press on it, I feel something like a bean moving upward when I swallow. I only notice it when I swallow something. Could it be a gland or a tumor? If it were throat cancer, wouldn't I have a cough, fever, or other symptoms? I'm really scared. Can you tell me what the exact symptoms of throat cancer are?
