Every morning when I wake up, my nose is really blocked which makes it hard for me to breathe. It's been going on for the past couple of days, and I'm a bit worried. Could this be a symptom of the coronavirus? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

View allI'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm experiencing this persistent itching and some weird noises in my ear. There's also this internal skin pain that's kind of bothering me. When I talked to my surgeon, they said it's all normal, but I'm still worried. Is it really usual to have these symptoms after the surgery?
Usually it's not normal but in few cases healing process would cause those symptoms,no need to worry, follow your surgeons advice do not attempt to scratch or massage it.

I'm having this issue where I start coughing when I talk. It usually kicks in after I've said a couple of sentences and it mainly happens in the evenings. I've also noticed it's kind of seasonal. It feels like my vocal cords are getting irritated, and I end up not being able to continue any discussion. If I stop talking for a while, it gets better, but then it starts all over again when I begin speaking. Any idea what's going on with me?
There might be some issue with your vocal cords visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

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.
