I'm dealing with this ongoing issue where my throat really hurts when I'm drinking or eating, and it feels like the pain stretches from my throat to my right ear. It's been happening for about three months now. What's going on with this, and should I be concerned?

could be due to inflammation or infection in that area. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relief like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help alleviate the discomfort. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I have nasal polyps and a fungal infection causing severe right-sided headaches and watery eyes multiple times a day. My doctor suggested surgery, but I'm worried about risks like losing my sense of smell or potential effects on my eyes and brain. Since it's still early, I want to try home remedies first specifically tea tree oil. How exactly should I use it for nasal polyps and fungus? I'm already doing steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. The polyps are only in my right nostril left side is fine.

To manage your nasal polyps and fungal infection with tea tree oil, create a diluted solution and apply it with a cotton swab, steam inhalation, or in a diffuser. Dilute 3-5 drops of tea tree oil in an ounce of carrier oil like olive or coconut oil, and gently dab the solution on the right nostril using a cotton swab 2-3 times a day. You can also add the diluted solution to your steam inhalation or an aromatherapy diffuser
