I noticed that the skin on my epiglottis is white when I looked in the mirror. Is it normal for the epiglottis to have white skin, or should I be worried about a potential disease?

I'm really dealing with this annoying cough and throat pain, and now it's even making my ears hurt. I'm not sure what I should do to make it go away. Any advice or tips you could give me would be really appreciated.

To overcome cough, throat pain, and ear pain, try a combination of steam inhalation, warm saltwater gargles, and over-the-counter medications like pain relievers, decongestants, and cough suppressants; additionally, stay hydrated, rest your voice, and use a humidifier to soothe the throat and ears

I'm getting really worried because for the last 20 days I've been feeling super uncomfortable near my esophagus when I swallow saliva or food. I'm taking 4 doses of pansec, monocef, and metrogyl, but there's been no improvement. The doctor said it's tonsillitis after just a physical exam. Could there be something else going on? Looking forward to your insight.

A blocked nostril can be quite uncomfortable! Given your symptoms, possible causes include: 1. _Deviated septum_: A crooked partition between the nostrils. 2. _Nasal polyps_: Growths in the nasal lining. 3. _Chronic sinusitis_: Inflammation of the sinuses. 4. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies. 5. _Foreign object_: Something lodged in the nostril. To alleviate your symptoms, try: 1. _Nasal saline irrigation_: Rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution. 2. _Humidifiers_: Add moisture to the air to ease congestion. 3. _Steam inhalation_: Breathe in warm, moist air to loosen mucus. Consult an _ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist_ for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. _Nasal endoscopy_: A flexible tube with a camera to visualize the nasal passages. 2. _Imaging tests_: CT or MRI scans to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Medications_: Decongestants, antihistamines, or steroids to alleviate symptoms. Seek medical attention to breathe easy again!
