I feel like there's this big lump of mucus that's stuck between my nose and throat, and it's really annoying and making me feel short of breath. I've tried swallowing a bunch of times, but it just won't budge. With everything going on with COVID, I can't really see a doctor in person. Is there anything I can do to make this go away? It's been like this for three days, and I don't have any other symptoms. I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

View allHey, I'm a med student and lately, I've been hearing this sound in my ear. I think it might be pulsatile tinnitus. It all started like 34 hours ago after I finished my bath. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by various factors such as increased blood flow in the blood vessels near the ear. In your case, since it started after taking a bath, it could be related to changes in blood flow or pressure. I recommend you to try using a white noise machine to help mask the sound. Additionally, you can take Ginkgo Biloba supplement, 120 mg twice daily, to potentially improve blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

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?
. Rest. Get plenty of sleep and rest your voice. Drink fluids. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist and prevent dehydration. Try comforting foods and beverage. Warm liquids broth, caffeine-free tea or warm water with honey and cold treats such as ice pops can soothe a sore throat. Gargle saltwater. A saltwater gargle of 1 teaspoon. Gargle the solution and then spit it out.

I have really large polyps and my nose feels swollen like a cucumber. I'm dealing with constant blockages, colds, headaches, watery eyes, and sometimes severe face pain. Is there any way to treat this without surgery or is surgery the only option? If I do get surgery, will my nose and nostrils go back to their normal size?
for P/E ENT specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
