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

I've been having some trouble with my throat over the past year. It started with it getting really dry at night, even though I'm drinking a lot of water. Then, a few weeks ago, these solid white sticky stones started forming near my tonsils. They smelled really bad, but I managed to remove them a couple of times using a toothbrush and cotton stick when they got to about 0.25cm. But now, it feels like there's a bigger stone deeper in my throat that I just can't reach or see, even with a mirror. Gargling with salt water and coughing hasn't helped at all, and it's so uncomfortable when I eat or drink. I'm not sure if it's the same kind of stone growing back or something else entirely. What do you think it could be, and what can I do about it?
