I'm getting really worried because for the last 20 days I've been feeling super uncomfortable near my esophagus when I swallow saliva or food. I'm taking 4 doses of pansec, monocef, and metrogyl, but there's been no improvement. The doctor said it's tonsillitis after just a physical exam. Could there be something else going on? Looking forward to your insight.

A blocked nostril can be quite uncomfortable!
Given your symptoms, possible causes include:
- Deviated septum: A crooked partition between the nostrils.
- Nasal polyps: Growths in the nasal lining.
- Chronic sinusitis: Inflammation of the sinuses.
- Allergies: Seasonal or environmental allergies.
- Foreign object: Something lodged in the nostril.
To alleviate your symptoms, try:
- Nasal saline irrigation: Rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution.
- Humidifiers: Add moisture to the air to ease congestion.
- Steam inhalation: Breathe in warm, moist air to loosen mucus.
Consult an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They may recommend:
- Nasal endoscopy: A flexible tube with a camera to visualize the nasal passages.
- Imaging tests: CT or MRI scans to rule out underlying conditions.
- Medications: Decongestants, antihistamines, or steroids to alleviate symptoms.
Seek medical attention to breathe easy again!

View allI'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?
Take anti-allergic tab and steroid nasal spray for 3weeks...it seems it's due to post nasal drip...

I've been hearing this strange noise coming from the back of my head, just above my neck, mostly on the right side. It happens when I move my head upwards or try to lean back. Plus, I get this neck pain on the right side whenever I spend too much time looking down. I've had this long-standing sinusitis issue on the right side, and it's been a real troublemaker. My neck hurts, I get headaches on that side, and sometimes even throat issuesall these come and go at random. What could be going on with me?
This needs evaluation,visit ENT doctor for the same and appropriate management
