Question 4

I'm really struggling with my left nostril being blocked for over a month now, and it's tough to breathe easily. It's causing me these massive headaches and my nose keeps running. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a painful and uncomfortable situation!

Your symptoms suggest:

1. *Tonsillitis*: Inflammation of the tonsils, likely caused by a bacterial (e.g., streptococcal) or viral infection.
2. *Strep throat*: A bacterial infection that can cause swollen, red, and white-spotted tonsils.

Seek medical attention from an *ENT specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may:

1. Perform a *rapid strep test* or *throat culture* to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Prescribe *antibiotics* (if bacterial) or recommend *supportive care* (if viral).
3. Provide guidance on *pain management* and *hydration*.

In the meantime, try:

1. *Staying hydrated* with plenty of fluids.
2. *Gargling with salt water* to soothe the throat.
3. *Using a humidifier* to add moisture to the air.

Feel better soon!
