I'm really puzzled about this weird feeling I've had in my throat for the past month after recovering from COVID. It's like something's stuck there, but it's not painful or irritating. It doesn't seem to be getting any better or worse, just kind of the same most days. Though I do notice it's more prominent in the evenings or when I'm lying down. It's strange because I don't have any trouble breathing, eating, or drinking, and if anything, swallowing food feels good. I tried antacids and PPIs for about three weeks, but they didn't help at all. I've been extra careful, eating boiled food and avoiding anything spicy because a little spice makes my stomach burn. I'm 21, and I really can't stop thinking about this. Is there something serious going on, or is this just some lingering after-effect I shouldn't worry too much about? What do you think it could be?

I've been dealing with frequent sinusitis that worsens my asthma, and I'm wondering if surgery for a deviated septum could help. I'm tired of relying on meds like cetirizine and montelukast and have started jal neti and vaman for relief. Would surgery actually make a difference or are there other options I should consider?
Yes, surgery to correct a deviated septum (septoplasty) can potentially make a difference in managing your sinusitis and its impact on your asthma. It's a common procedure to improve airflow and reduce nasal congestion. However, it's crucial to consider other options and determine if surgery is the right fit for your individual situation.
