I'm experiencing some issues with my nose lately. It feels really itchy, and there's been more dirt buildup than usual, which even caused it to bleed once. Today, I noticed there's an extra muscle growth inside my nose that hurts when I touch it. I also find it hard to be in cold weather, and sometimes my eyes tear up for no apparent reason. I don't have sinus issues though. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Your symptoms could be related to nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis AND keep the nose moisturized, avoid irritants, and consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment. They can help diagnose the cause of the muscle growth and any underlying issues.

View allI woke up today and when I cleared my throat and spit, I noticed a small amount of blood mixed with it. There were also some tiny bubbles, kind of dark red or brownish, still stuck in my throat. I'm really worried because I'm only 18 and haven't had any major health issues before. I do get GERD pretty often and have been feeling some throat discomfort recently, probably because I've been eating a lot of ice cream. Im not dealing with any coughing, though. When I saw those blood streaks in my spit, I got really scared. Could this be something serious?
It sounds like you may be experiencing some irritation or inflammation in your throat, possibly aggravated by your history of GERD and recent consumption of ice cream. The presence of blood in your saliva can be alarming, but it may not always indicate a serious issue. However, it is important to address this symptom promptly. I recommend you take over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to help with your GERD symptoms. Additionally, you can use a throat soothing syrup like Benadryl Cough Syrup to alleviate the discomfort in your throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid consuming foods that may further irritate your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 27-year-old male nurse working in the surgery OT and I've been smoking cigarettes for the last 8 years. For the past 4 months, I've had granular pharyngitis and even after taking all the prescribed meds, it hasn't gone away. Now for the last month, I've been experiencing chest tightness could this be related to my throat issue or the smoking? What should I do next?

I have a sinus issue and a deviated nasal bone that makes my blocked nose worse. I don't want surgery but rely on OTRIVIN drops for temporary relief. Are there other ways to manage this? It's really hard to deal with daily.
Yes, there are alternative ways to manage a deviated septum and sinus issues without surgery, such as using saline nasal sprays, avoiding triggers, and incorporating home remedies like steam inhalation and humidifiers. It's also crucial to consult with a doctor or ENT specialist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation and to discuss potential medical treatments like nasal steroid sprays
