I was diagnosed with a left antrochoanal nasal polyp back in 2018 and my ENT has tried everything but says surgery is the only option now. I keep getting infections with bloody discharge from my left nose and can only breathe through my right nose and mouth. I'm really scared of surgery and even needles I can't even handle blood tests easily. I've heard about Dupixent (dupilumab) injections for treating polyps but can't find an ENT in India who can help me with this. Money isn't an issue, I just want to avoid surgery. Does Dupixent work for antrochoanal polyps and is it available in India or do I need to go abroad for it

Dupixent (dupilumab) injections are a potential treatment option for nasal polyps, including antrochoanal polyps, and are available in India. While your ENT may have explored other treatments, Dupixent is a viable alternative for managing symptoms and potentially avoiding surgery, especially if you are hesitant about the procedure and its potential complications. You should consult with an ENT specialist in India who is familiar with Dupixent and can assess your specific case to determine if it's the right course of action.

View allI'm taking one Sinarest tablet at night, but my symptoms aren't getting better. I have a cold with yellow mucus, a mild fever, and a throat infection. Should I consider taking antibiotics as well? Is amoxicillin 250mg okay? I've been dealing with this for the past two days, and I have chronic maxillary sinusitis. What do you think I should do?
sinarest can be take two times in a day at a gap of 10-12 hours,yes if it is severe you canuse augumentin 625 mg twice a day for 5 days.

I'm really worried because it's been over 20 days and I just can't seem to sneeze. The issue began when my coworker jokingly hit me hard on the belly after lunch, and I had stomach pain for about 1.5 days after that. Normally, I sneeze around 23 times a day, but ever since then, it's like my nose starts the sneeze feeling, but my lungs just don't follow through. I've heard that sneezing helps get rid of dust particles at 320 kmph, so I'm concerned there might be serious health problems if I can't sneeze. I've even tried things like dusting the house and sniffing black pepper to bring on a sneeze, but nothing works. Could this just be something time will fix on its own, or should I be doing something specific to help? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it all. Any advice would be really helpful.
not to worry and again not always normal , consult pulmonologist

I was using a cotton ear bud and now the cotton part got stuck in my ear canal! The stick came out but the cotton's still in there and it's starting to hurt a little. Any idea on how I can safely get it out?
Visit your ENT doctor immediately to remove it,don't make any attempts by yourself to remove it.
