I'm really struggling with my left nostril being blocked for over a month now, and it's tough to breathe easily. It's causing me these massive headaches and my nose keeps running. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

Sounds like a painful and uncomfortable situation!
Your symptoms suggest:
- Tonsillitis: Inflammation of the tonsils, likely caused by a bacterial (e.g., streptococcal) or viral infection.
- Strep throat: A bacterial infection that can cause swollen, red, and white-spotted tonsils.
Seek medical attention from an ENT specialist or a primary care physician. They may:
- Perform a rapid strep test or throat culture to confirm the diagnosis.
- Prescribe antibiotics (if bacterial) or recommend supportive care (if viral).
- Provide guidance on pain management and hydration.
In the meantime, try:
- Staying hydrated with plenty of fluids.
- Gargling with salt water to soothe the throat.
- Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
Feel better soon!

View allMy left nostril is completely blocked due to nasal polyps and I can only breathe through my mouth. Doctors are recommending surgery but I'm wondering if homeopathy has any treatment options that could help avoid surgery
While homeopathic remedies may offer a complementary approach for nasal polyps, it's crucial to understand that they are not a substitute for conventional medical treatment. If you are experiencing complete nasal blockage and difficulty breathing, seeking a medical consultation is vital.

I'm really worried because I've had a throat infection for the past week. This seems to happen whenever I stop taking the Almox 500 capsules that I've been on for a while now. I went to a doctor, but it didn't really make a difference. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be doing?

I've been waking up feeling really lightheaded and sometimes even get these spinning sensations. It started three days ago, and the first day was so bad I ended up vomiting a lot. I don't smoke or drink, and I exercise every day. I also recently changed my diet to reduce fat and sugar. What could be causing this?
