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've been dealing with a sore throat that started a couple of months ago. I took antibiotics for a week, and it seemed to clear up. But theres this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side of my throat. After meals, tiny food particles and debris get trapped there, and I often have to gargle to get rid of them. There's no pain, fever, or cough, but I recently removed a tonsil stone myself. Should I be worried that this is something serious? Im concerned and would appreciate some advice. Oh, and the picture I took is inverted, where left means right and right means left.
Yellow liquid discharge from the ear can be a sign of an ear infection, such as otitis externa or otitis media. It's essential to consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for evaluation. They may perform an otoscopy, take a sample for testing, or prescribe antibiotics. Keep the ear dry and avoid inserting objects. Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

My ears have been clogged for days but my hearing is still fine. At first I didn't notice it much but now I realize my ears won't pop and there's constant pressure in both ears. An ENT doctor said one of my nasal passages is swollen which might be causing this. I've tried home remedies but the ear pressure and clogged feeling won't go away. Could this be a eustachian tube issue? Do I need surgery even though my hearing isn't affected?
septoplasty is advised,ent review.

I've been dealing with a blocked right ear for about two years now, and despite checking it out several times, no one can say what's wrong. Lately, I've also had this feeling of mucus at the back of my throat that I can't seem to cough up. It's really affecting my daily life because whenever I talk, it feels like there's an echo of my own voice in my head. What could be causing this and how can I make it go away?
It looks like otits media,practice valsalva for a better result,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate management.
