I've been using Nasivion nasal drops for the past 10 years and can't seem to stop even after consulting doctors. One doctor suggested switching to Alligra M and saline drops while reducing the amount, but it's been really tough for me. Is there any surgery or alternative treatment that could help with this dependency?

Long-term use of nasal drops can cause rebound congestion. A gradual taper using saline sprays and antihistamines may help; surgery (like turbinate reduction) is an option if conservative measures fail.

Can you help me figure out the right amount of Betadine to use for gargling? I already tried with a glass of water and mixed in 15ml, but it seemed too diluted. So, I added another 10-15ml to the warm water. Is that too much, or am I doing it right?

One cup of betadine (with the cup given with it) in half glass of water

I've noticed that my tongue and the roof of my mouth have this white to yellowish color. There aren't any white or red spots, but I'm kind of worried about what it might be. Is it something serious? Also, I've had this weird feeling like there's hair or something at the back of my throat for a while now, but it goes away when I eat or drink. Are these two things connected? If not, what could be causing this strange sensation?

PCOS can be complex, and I'll address your concerns: *Having PCOS with Regular Periods* 1. *Yes, it's possible*: PCOS is a spectrum disorder, and some women may experience regular periods despite having other PCOS symptoms. 2. *Ovulation may still be irregular*: Even with regular periods, ovulation might be infrequent or irregular, affecting fertility. *Infertility Risks* 1. *Increased risk*: PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women due to ovulation issues and hormonal imbalances. 2. *Not inevitable*: Many women with PCOS can conceive with proper treatment and management. *Acne Treatment* 1. *Consult a dermatologist*: Discuss your acne concerns with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment approach. 2. *Hormonal treatments*: Birth control pills or anti-androgen medications might be prescribed to regulate hormones and reduce acne. *Normal DHT Levels and PCOS* 1. *DHT not always elevated*: Some women with PCOS may have normal DHT levels. 2. *Other hormonal imbalances*: PCOS is characterized by multiple hormonal imbalances, not just DHT. *Bilateral Polycystic Ovaries (PCO) vs. PCOS* 1. *PCO is a characteristic of PCOS*: Bilateral PCO is a common feature of PCOS, but not all women with PCO have PCOS. 2. *PCOS diagnosis requires multiple criteria*: A diagnosis of PCOS requires a combination of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings.
