Question 1

I'm having this issue with one side of my nose being blocked all the time, and it switches sides during the day. At night it gets hard to breathe, even through the side that's open. My ears feel blocked too, and my head is constantly heavy, but I'm not dealing with a cold. This has been going on for about four months, and I've already seen my family doctor and tried cetrizine and paracetamol, but nothing's helping. Who should I see about this? Also, is it okay if I use Otrivin daily for my nose problem?

Accepted Answer

Your persistent, alternating nasal congestion, ear blockage, and head heaviness, without cold symptoms, may indicate a possible underlying condition, such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps, or allergies; consider consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT)

Question 2

I've been having this weird issue lately and I'm getting a bit worried. I'm a 26-year-old female, and for the past two days, I've noticed brown stains when I clear my throat in the morning. This has never happened to me before. Im also taking Sandu blood purifier syrup every night just before bed, and its the same color as the stains. On top of that, I get mouth ulcers and tonsillitis quite often. Do you think the syrup could be causing the discoloration, or is this something I should be more concerned about?

Accepted Answer

The brown stain in your cough could be due to the Sandu blood purifier syrup you are taking, as it is of the same color. It is possible that the syrup is causing irritation or inflammation in your throat, leading to the brownish stain in your cough. I recommend stopping the syrup for now and observing if the brown stain improves. Additionally, frequent mouth ulcers and tonsil issues may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation in your throat and oral cavity. I suggest you consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Question 3

I'm having a really hard time swallowing anything, even my own saliva, since yesterday. Im a bit worried because a few days ago I had a throat infection and a cold, but was feeling better last week. Plus, I ate some really hot food yesterday and Im not sure if that messed things up again. Could that be causing my throat pain?

Accepted Answer

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery

That could be ear effusion,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate treatment,and practice valsalva for better relief.
