I'm a bit worried about this report I got that mentions polypoidal mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus. What exactly does that mean? Is there any future risk I should be aware of?

I've had this pain on the middle right side of my throat when I yawn or swallow saliva for about 3 weeks now. Plus, I have this weird lump sensation in my throat. I went to the doctor, and she didnt see anything wrong, but didnt explain why this is happening. It's really been worrying me because I'm generally healthy, eat well, and I'm pretty active. I do drink sometimes and smoke a few cigarettes a day. What's going on? Should I be concerned?

that could be mucosal congestion,consume warm foods and take warm fluids,it itself heal.

I accidentally took two Sinarest tablets just a few minutes apart because I forgot I had already taken one. My prescription says to take one in the morning and one at night. Could this be a big problem? I'm really worried. What should I do?

no need to worry since it is only 2 tablets that you have swallowed
