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 allI've got this weird mass under my jaw on the right side, kind of in the submandibular area. There's a similar bump on the left too, but it's not as big or swollen. I'm wondering if it could be a tumor, or maybe it's just from a cold I've had recently? I feel fine overall and haven't noticed any other symptoms. Could it just be some swelling from being sick?
Yes that could be reactive lymphadenitis due to your previous infection need to use a course of antibiotics,visit General Physician for appropriate management

I've been having some discomfort around my jaw, right beneath my left ear lobe. It's not constant, but I really notice it when I press on it. There's no issue when I'm talking or opening my mouth wide, and it doesn't hurt when I swallow either. What could this be? Should I be concerned?
That could be TM joint pain or muscle catch,no need to worry give some time it will self adjust,do not attempt to massage the area,if its becoming worse visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

My tonsils have been swollen for almost 3 weeks now and nothing from allopathy seems to help. Doctors are suggesting surgery but I'm not sure if that's the only option left. What else can I try before going for surgery?
Tonsillitis generally lasts around a week. However, when it lasts longer than 14 days, it's considered chronic tonsillitis. Chronic tonsillitis may lead to other conditions that need additional treatment. If you have recurring bouts of tonsillitis, you may need to have your tonsils surgically removed.
