I've been feeling a funny sensation in my throat. Theres no fever, cough, or cold, and Im not coughing up any mucus either. It's just this constant irritation, a sort of "kich kich" in the throat. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I just found out I have mild DNS on the right side of my nose and my bilateral inferior turbinates are hypertrophied. What does all this mean for my breathing or overall nose health? Is this something I should be worried about, and are there any treatments I should consider? I'm a bit concerned about how this might affect me day-to-day.

No need to worry do steam inhalation and consume warm foods ,if it's bothering you much, visit ENT doctor for surgical correction.
