I'm having this issue where I really feel like I need to sneeze, but I just can't seem to actually sneeze. It's been going on for a bit, and now I'm getting a headache and even some stomach pain from it. Any idea what's going on or how I can finally get some relief?

The inability to sneeze, despite the urge, can lead to pent-up pressure, causing headaches and stomach discomfort; try relieving the tension by: applying pressure to the philtrum (area between nose and upper lip), taking a warm shower, drinking plenty of fluids, or using saline nasal sprays to loosen mucus, and if symptoms persist, consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT

View allI'm currently on cephalexin for my tonsillitis and I'm just curious, is it okay to smoke marijuana while taking this medication? I'm worried if it might make the cephalexin less effective or if there could be any bad reactions.
I would not recommend smoking marijuana while taking cephalexin for tonsillitis. Smoking marijuana can potentially decrease the effectiveness of cephalexin and may also increase the risk of certain side effects. It is best to avoid smoking marijuana while on this antibiotic.

I'm still dealing with a runny nose even 25 days after testing positive for COVID. I actually started having this runny nose about a week before my test, so it's been over a month now. Throughout this time, I haven't had any other symptomsjust the runny nose. My doctor suggested I take MontairLC, and I've been on it for five days, but there's been no change. Is a runny nose normal after having COVID, or is this something more serious? Could it be a fungal infection? What should I do next?
It's possible that your runny nose could be related to a post-COVID condition, or it might be a sign of another infection, such as a fungal infection. However, without further evaluation, it's difficult to determine the exact cause.

I've been having this mild pain on the right side of my throat. It's sort of around the mid to lower area, but I don't have a fever or a sore throat. It's been bothering me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any idea what might be causing this?
Right side throat pain with no fever or sore throat could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or even a mild infection. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can try gargling with warm salt water to soothe the throat. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
