I'm really struggling with a blocked nose because of my sinus issues, and it doesn't help that my nasal bone isn't straight. I'm not keen on the idea of surgery, so I've been using OTRIVIN nasal drops for some temporary relief. But it's getting so difficult to manage. Can you suggest any other alternatives or measures that might help? I'm desperate to find a better solution!

I woke up today and when I cleared my throat and spit, I noticed a small amount of blood mixed with it. There were also some tiny bubbles, kind of dark red or brownish, still stuck in my throat. I'm really worried because I'm only 18 and haven't had any major health issues before. I do get GERD pretty often and have been feeling some throat discomfort recently, probably because I've been eating a lot of ice cream. Im not dealing with any coughing, though. When I saw those blood streaks in my spit, I got really scared. Could this be something serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some irritation or inflammation in your throat, possibly aggravated by your history of GERD and recent consumption of ice cream. The presence of blood in your saliva can be alarming, but it may not always indicate a serious issue. However, it is important to address this symptom promptly. I recommend you take over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to help with your GERD symptoms. Additionally, you can use a throat soothing syrup like Benadryl Cough Syrup to alleviate the discomfort in your throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid consuming foods that may further irritate your throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my throat. The doctors said its chronic pharyngitis, and Ive been on antibiotics and antiallergics. I tried ibuprofen for the swelling, but it just comes back when I stop taking it. Sometimes, my right ear hurtsmaybe its because of my tonsils? I also have gastritis, so could it be LPR or GERD? Im a singer, and its been two months since Ive been able to sing. It's really upsetting. I've already seen three doctors but no luck. What should I do?

As it is chronic Pharyngitis it needs long-term treatment,also consume warm foods, rest your voice until complete recovery visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment
