I'm having this weird issue where my tongue feels like it's falling down at night, and it's giving me a dry cough that keeps me from sleeping. It only happens when I'm trying to rest. I'm really curious about what might be causing this and how I can fix it. Any thoughts?

I've been having trouble breathing through my left nostril and visited an ENT in Hyderabad who said there's extra bone growth in my nose causing the issue. They recommended surgery but I'm a bit unsure - could you suggest any other options or advice for this problem?

If you're hesitant about surgery for a deviated nasal septum, consider consulting with another ENT doctor for a second opinion. While surgery is often the solution for a deviated septum, there are other options like medication to manage symptoms and improve airflow

I've been dealing with a lot of sneezing, a running nose, and now a blocked nose for over 20 days, and my head feels heavy. I tried taking cetrizine and cetgel, but they haven't helped. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?

Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or an allergist to rule out underlying conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or nasal polyps; in addition to Cetrizine and Cetgel, you may want to try other treatments like nasal saline irrigation, steam inhalation, or immunotherapy; also, ask your doctor about alternative medications like Montelukast, Azelastine, or Fluticasone nasal spray, which may provide relief from your symptoms.
