I'm dealing with nasal polyps and it's been a struggle, especially over the last two years. The right side of my nose has it the worst, and I've noticed that drinking hot beverages seems to make it worse. I'm really not keen on having surgery right now. I've been using Otrivin nasal spray, which helps a bit, but it's just a temporary fix. Could you recommend a permanent solution for this issue?

View allmy hearing has been really muffled lately and i think it might be glue ear ive heard about grommet surgery but im not sure if i need it or if theres other options i should try first
If you suspect glue ear and are concerned about muffled hearing, it's best to consult a doctor or audiologist. While grommet surgery (myringotomy with grommet insertion) can be a solution for persistent glue ear, it's not always the first step. Other options include observation, medications (like antibiotics or decongestants), and temporary use of hearing aids.

I'm really worried about my husband. His neck is swollen on the left side, behind the ear, and it doesn't hurt. Our ENT specialist did a fine needle test and the microscopy report says there's no sign of cassation granuloma or malignancy. They mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid aspirate and advised excision if there's clinical suspicion for Koch's. Can you help explain what all this means? We also tried two weeks of antibiotics and the swelling seems to be getting smaller. I'm trying to understand if we should still be concerned.

I often wake up feeling like there's something stuck in the back of my throat, kind of like phlegm, but it feels more like a rubbery slime or clay. It's really making me feel nauseous and I'm wondering if there's any medicine to help with it. I've had sinusitis before, which got better, but this still happens. When I eat, I sometimes can't swallow properly, and other times my throat gets super dry, and I think some cough might have gotten frozen in there due to fungus or something. What could this be, and is there a treatment for it?
