I'm really concerned about my sister who has been unable to smell or taste for many years. She only told us about it a few years back, and now she's 25. Do you know if there's any treatment or anything we can do to help her? I'm worried about what this means for her future.

View allI've got three swollen lymph nodes, two under my jaw and one near my groin. It all started with a sore throat, which happens often because I deal with chronic tonsil stones, and my tonsils are always kinda stretched. Should I be worried about these swollen nodes? What could be causing this?
That's a serious problem and needs definite attention visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've quit smoking about 40 days ago, and in the beginning, I had a lot of ENT pain, stomach issues, a really bad cough, and it felt heavy when I breathed. Things have gotten a bit better, but I'm still having throat pain, some swelling behind my ear, heaviness in my chest, and it hurts when I swallow, plus there's ear pain too. Are these normal withdrawal symptoms, or could it be something else I should worry about?
Yes these could be withdrawl symptoms,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate help

Hey, I've been dealing with chronic nasal polyps for a while now, and I'm starting to get a bit concerned. Is it possible that these polyps could cause an increase in the pressure in my pulmonary artery? I'm curious because I heard that could be a complication, but I'm not entirely sure. Any thoughts on this?
Chronic nasal polyps can sometimes be associated with a condition called Samter's triad, which includes nasal polyps, asthma, and aspirin sensitivity. In severe cases, this condition can lead to a rare but serious complication known as pulmonary hypertension. Treatment may involve medications such as montelukast (Singulair) to help manage asthma symptoms and potentially prevent complications like pulmonary hypertension. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
