I was blowing my nose and I noticed something blocking my nostrils. When I checked, it looked like a piece of flesh and Im thinking it might be nasal polyps. Its really close to my external nostril. Should I be worried? What should I do next?

I'm about a month post-septoplasty, and my nose still keeps getting blocked. Sometimes it's the left nostril, and other times it's the right one. Why does this keep happening, and when can I expect things to get back to normal?

DNS is a recurring problem for many, identify the triggering factor and avoid it maintain healthy lifestyle.

Ive been noticing this really unpleasant smell coming from my throat (not my mouth) for about 40 to 50 days now. It hangs around for a day or two, and it's happened three times so far. Im also dealing with a dry cough that pops up whenever I'm in air-conditioned places or when there's a lot of dust around, but it's not severe and doesn't last long. Plus, I get body aches once a week that last up to two to three days. Im kind of worried about what these symptoms might mean. Which type of doctor should I see to figure out whats going on?
