I'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?

I've been dealing with this strange issue where one nostril is always blocked, but it switches sides every now and then. Thing is, I don't have a cold or the flu or anything like that. It's been going on for about six months now. A few doctors have mentioned it could be an allergy, while others think it's sinusitis. I'm just really confused and would like to know what might be really causing this. Any insights?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis. This condition can cause alternating nostril blockage without the presence of a cold or flu. I recommend using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to help reduce inflammation and improve airflow. You can use 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray can help keep your nasal passages moist and clear. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier in your room to help with congestion. If symptoms persist, it's best to follow up with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Yes, there are several ways to manage sinus headaches associated with prolonged screen time without surgery. These include taking frequent breaks, adjusting screen settings, improving workspace ergonomics, and using over-the-counter medications
