View allI've been having this really annoying throat irritation and my allergy AEC levels are over 700, which I'm guessing isn't great. What can I do to bring it down to normal? Are there specific foods I should be avoiding or maybe some that could help?
to help lower your AEC and reduce allergy symptoms, you should focus on managing your allergies through medications and avoiding triggers, while also incorporating an anti-inflammatory diet. Avoid foods that are high in histamine or common allergens, and try to focus on foods that support immune health and reduce inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, its always best to consult with an allergist or immunologist who can guide you through proper treatment options and help with any necessary allergy tests.

I'm really anxious about septoplasty surgery and the idea of packing scares me because I can't breathe through my mouth. Is it possible to have the procedure without packing? Comfort is really important to me and I'm willing to pay extra for that. How do surgeons usually handle cases like mine?
septoplasty is advised to the patient.

I've been having nose problems for the past couple of months. I've tried homeopathic medicine and septillin, but nothing seems to be working. It's really hard to breathe because my nose gets blocked, and there's this thick yellow discharge. What could be going on, and what should I do to get some relief?
Based on your symptoms of difficulty in breathing, blocked nose, and yellow thick discharge, it seems like you may be suffering from a sinus infection. I recommend you try taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin (500mg, three times a day) along with a decongestant like Sudafed (30mg, every 4-6 hours) to help relieve your symptoms. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray regularly can also help with nasal congestion. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
