I'm really interested in getting a nose piercing but I'm not too keen on the gunshot method. I've heard that needle piercing might be an option and I'm wondering if ENT doctors usually handle this. Do they use local anesthesia for it? Also, could you recommend any doctors who might be able to help with this?

I've been dealing with a swollen left lingual tonsil for about a month now. Initially, it wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some discomfort when I swallow and I have ear pain too. There are also these white spots on it. I'm a pretty heavy smoker. What could this mean and what should I do?

I'm really worried about my 31-year-old daughter. She woke up yesterday with a small lump inside her tongue, and now, just 35 hours later, it's grown to the size of a marble. Could you please help us understand what might be going on and if we should be concerned?

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.
