I recently got a CT scan of my PNS, and the report shows I have a deviated septum, concha bullosa, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Lately, Ive been feeling this weird swollen sensation next to my nose on both sides, but theres nothing visible when I check in the mirror. I'm curious if this might be causing some of the symptoms Ive been experiencing. Like, could this be related to the pain I feel in my forehead, or the discomfort in my upper jaw, the area above my ear, and the side of my head? Sometimes I even notice balance issues, neck pain, and just feeling really tired or sleepy for no reason. Its weird, but these things mainly happen when I'm in an air-conditioned space or when cold wind hits my face. Does any of this sound connected to my nasal issues?

I've been taking Vertin 16 mg for the past four months for Meniere's disease and it's been helping me feel better. But now I'm starting to wonder if there could be any long-term effects or harm from using it for so long. Could it be causing any issues I should be worried about?

Yes you can take it no problem.

I've been noticing that there's occasionally blood in the mucus from my nose, and it's been happening over the last couple of months, every 10 to 15 days or so. I'm starting to worry a bit and was wondering if you could suggest anything to help with this?

Occasional blood in the nose mucus can be due to various reasons such as dry air, allergies, or nasal infections. To help alleviate this issue, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can use a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air. It's also important to avoid picking your nose and to gently blow your nose when needed. If the problem persists, you can consider using over-the-counter nasal decongestants like Afrin (oxymetazoline) for a few days, but be sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.

I've been feeling this film of mucus on the right side of my throat, almost down to my chest, for the past few weeks. I remember having the same feeling last year. My right nostril is blocked, and there's pressure on my right ear. I used to smoke a lotabout six cigarettes a day for seven yearsbut quit last year. Since then, there's no cough, but the mucus feeling is still there. Could it be cancer? Sometimes, it seems like this sticky feeling on the right side even goes down to my stomach. I'm not experiencing heartburn though. I'm curious, what's the risk of throat cancer at 27 in India? Also, I used to smoke marijuana but stopped that last year too. What do you think?

That could be GERD, visit Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate management
