I had septoplasty about six months ago to correct my deviated septum, but ever since, I've been having trouble breathing and can't sleep at all during the night. My nose feels really dry, and it seems like the air isn't getting to my lungs properly. I went back to my doctor, and they said it might be an allergy, but I'm not really convinced. I've been reading about empty nose syndrome and wondering if that's what I might have. Is there any way to cure ENS or manage these symptoms better?

View allMy friend has been having throat pain either in the early morning or at bedtime for about six months now. Just recently, there's been a bad smell coming from her mouth for the past two days. Why might she be experiencing these symptoms, and what could be causing this odor? Are they related to each other somehow?
For tonsil stones, consider: *Non-Surgical Options* 1. *Gargling*: Continue gargling with warm salt water or Betadine solution. 2. *Waterpik*: Use a waterpik to flush out debris and stones. 3. *Tonsil stone removal kits*: Available online or at pharmacies. 4. *Antibacterial mouthwash*: Use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine. *Medical Consultation* 1. *ENT Specialist*: Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination. 2. *Rule out Chronic Tonsillitis*: The ENT specialist can diagnose chronic tonsillitis and recommend treatment. *Additional Tips* 1. *Maintain good oral hygiene*: Brush and floss regularly. 2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your throat moist. 3. *Avoid smoking and tobacco*: These can exacerbate the problem.

I'm dealing with tinnitus in both ears and have tried various medicines, including Tinnicar capsules. Unfortunately, after taking Tinnicar, my condition seems to have worsened. Is it possible that the capsules are causing side effects? I also have tonsils; could they be contributing to my tinnitus?
Its possible that Tinnicar worsened your tinnitus, especially if one of its ingredients didnt agree with your body. Discontinuing the capsule and consulting your doctor would be a good next step. Tonsil issues can also contribute to ear-related symptoms, so an ENT specialist might be able to help you explore if your tonsils are playing a role.

I've been dealing with some nasal congestion and was told I might have turbinate hypertrophy. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medications or treatments that could help shrink the turbinates or at least give me some relief without having to go under the knife? Would love some advice on what to try or any tips on managing this.
Turbinate Hypertroneeds surgical excision only when it is causing severe symptoms or aggrevating Sinusitis, otherwise you can neglect it.
