I'm getting a bit concerned because my mom has been snoring really loudly for the past six months, and the sounds are, well, kind of unusual. Could this be a sign of thyroid issues, or might it be something else altogether?

I'm having trouble hearing in my left ear. It gets better when I pull my earlobe, but as soon as I let go, I can't hear even the quietest sounds. What could be going on with my ear?

That could be due to ear effusion,practice valsalva daily three times you will feel better

I'm really struggling with my sinusitis and just wanted to get some advice. I've been taking Microdox LBX capsules with Sinarest tablets before meals, and using a Nasowash sachet with a Nasowash sneezing bottle to clean my nose. Afterward, I take steam and then use a hot cloth as a compress. I also gargle with warm water and then use Sane Nasal Drops, putting in four drops. About 5 to 10 minutes later, I do some breathing exercises like Alom Vilom and Kapal Bharti. I finish off with Fluticone FT nasal spray. Even though my PNS X-ray says my sinus problem is very minor, my throat pain just won't go away. Any idea what's going on or what else I could try?

I'm dealing with a sore throat that comes and goes. I do smoke a bit like one or two cigarettes a day, but it's not a lot. Can I take cefix 200 even though it expired last month?

No you can't take that medicine.
