I woke up with a sore throat on one side this morning, and when I checked my tonsils this afternoon, I noticed a clear blister-like bump where it hurts. Should I be worried about this?

View allI keep sneezing and getting a cold every morning no matter what I try - I've done alopathy, homeopathy, and ayurvedic treatments but nothing helps. One doctor mentioned I might have extra nose bone growth needing surgery, but said there's only a 50% chance it'll work. What do you think about this diagnosis and treatment option?
i feel that you have allergic rhinitis. You can start with a steroid nasal spray twice daily. If no relief, consult another ENT surgeon and get evaluated whether surgery will help or not. But allergy per se may not go away with surgery. You will need spray and avoidance of allergens.

I'm really curious about how nasal congestion might impact oxygen levels in the body. Is it possible that having a stuffy nose could actually reduce how much oxygen my body is getting? I'm a bit worried about this and would love to understand it better.
Yes, nasal congestion can decrease oxygen saturation levels, as it reduces airflow through the nasal passages, leading to reduced oxygen intake, which can cause a drop in oxygen saturation levels, especially in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or sleep apnea.

I've been dealing with a runny nose recently, and while that's gotten better, now I've got this weird issue with my throat that seems like an infection. It's causing some pretty bad pain in my ear, especially around the area just behind my last tooth on the right side. I'm really getting worried. Could it be all connected somehow?
It sounds like you may have developed a throat infection which is causing ear pain. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help soothe your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
