I'm dealing with tonsil stones for the past year and I've noticed some small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove a few, but can't get rid of the ones on the outer part. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat, but I don't have any ear pain, fever, swelling, or sore throat. The only issue is a dry throat. What should I do next? How can I relieve this problem without surgery? I've been gargling with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis? Any advice would be really helpful.

Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions like allergies, sinusitis, or non-allergic rhinitis. Consider:
- Allergy testing
- Nasal endoscopy
- Imaging tests (CTMRI scans)
Continue medications as prescribed, and explore additional measures like humidifiers, saline nasal sprays, and avoiding irritants.

View allI'm in the research field studying chemistry and recently I've been having some issues. My nose has been really dry and I'm also experiencing dry blood, which is quite painful, especially in the mornings. Could any doctors provide advice on how to deal with this?
Humidification and hydration are key to relieving nasal dryness. Saline sprays, nasal gels, and petroleum jelly can help soothe and moisturize your nasal passages. If the problem persists or worsens, consulting a doctor, especially an ENT specialist, is recommended.

My nose is always stuffy because of allergies and my CT scan showed a blockage in my right nostril. The doctor recommended surgery using an advanced ENT navigator, saying it could turn into chronic sinusitis if I don't get it done. Are there any other treatments or alternative medicines I could try instead of surgery?

I'm having some issues with pain in the right side of my neck, and it seems to be coming from a vein and extending to the lower part of my head. I also feel really cold and there's a heaviness in my right ear. Sometimes the pain gets really intense and I feel nauseous too. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a sinus infection or sinusitis. I recommend taking a combination of a decongestant and pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain and congestion. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help with the cold symptoms and heaviness in the ear. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
