I'm a bit confused and worried about the medicines my ENT doctor prescribed after finding out I'm allergic to house dust, cockroach allergen, and those dermatophagoid thingies. He gave me Zentel 400, Hetrazan 100, and some anti-allergy meds. Why would he prescribe these specific medicines for allergies? Are they supposed to help with these types of allergens?

I'm dealing with a preauricular sinus for a few days now and I'm already taking medication for it. I've been really wondering if it's okay to eat chicken and other non-veg foods while I'm dealing with this. Could it affect my condition in any way?

Yes you can consume no need to worry.

I'm a bit confused about something and hope you can help. Can a deviated nasal septum actually cause chest pain? Also, if someone has DNS but their oxygen saturation levels are good, should they still be worried? Would love some clarity!

DNS has nothing to do with chest pain generally. Please have your chest pain evaluated in detail.

I'm a 34-year-old female and recently noticed a white oval lump behind my tonsil on the left side of my mouth. I only spotted it last month while dealing with some wisdom teeth issues. It doesn't hurt or cause any symptoms, but I'm really anxious about it because I have health anxiety. I drink moderately, just a few glasses of wine on the weekends, and I don't smoke. I'm fit and healthy otherwise. Can you help me understand what this might be?

It sounds like you may have a tonsil stone, also known as a tonsillolith. Tonsil stones are small, white or yellowish lumps that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They are usually harmless and can sometimes occur after an episode of tonsillitis or when debris gets trapped in the tonsil crypts. To help reduce the size of the tonsil stone and prevent them from forming, you can try gargling with warm salt water regularly. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are large or causing discomfort, they may need to be removed by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try using a water flosser to gently dislodge the tonsil stone. If you continue to have concerns or if the lump behind your tonsil changes in size or causes any symptoms, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
