I'm really struggling because I've got a nasal polyp that just won't quit and it's especially bad at night. I usually use Otrivin nasal spray which helps a lot, but I'm out of it right now. The polyp is making it so I cant breathe well and Im having trouble sleeping. What can I do to open up my nasal passage right away?

If drug treatment doesn't shrink or eliminate nasal polyps, you may need endoscopic surgery to remove polyps and to correct problems with your sinuses that make them prone to inflammation and polyp development... Your surgeon may also enlarge the openings leading from your sinuses to your nasal passages. Endoscopic surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure.

View allI'm experiencing some pain in my throat that's been going on for about two weeks now. It only hurts when I swallow saliva, but not when I'm eating or drinking anything. The pain seems to come and go, and there's no pain when I move my neck. I don't have a cough or anything, but when I'm distracted or busy, I sometimes don't notice it as much. I'm really concerned and a bit scared that it might be something serious like throat cancer. Could you help me understand what could be causing this?

I'm dealing with a sticky throat issue, and it feels like the cough is just stuck there all the time. I had a cough a few days ago and it's still bothering me. Could there be something else going on, or should I be doing something specific to help with this?
You may be experiencing post-nasal drip causing the sensation of a sticky throat. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help reduce the mucus production. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation.
