I'm really worried about my dad, who's 63. He's having this problem where there's a strong smell, like mucous, when he breathes out, both from his mouth and nose. He's never been into drinking alcohol or smoking, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand what's causing this and maybe recommend a good mouthwash or something that might help with his breathing?

View allI'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?
You seem to be suffering from condition known as chronic tonsillitis which usually presents with recurrent attacks of throat pain and difficulty in swallowing. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery

I'm really struggling with a chronic dry cough that's been bothering me for 23 years now. I have these intense coughing fits and throat irritation at least 10 times a day, and it's really getting to me mentally and even makes my muscles hurt. I don't smoke or drink and my chest X-ray was all clear. They've found DNS and sinusitis through a nasal endoscopy, and I can't help but wonder if they're causing the chronic cough. I've tried meds for GERD and allergies, and while cough medicine helps a bit, the cough always comes back just as strong. Could you please share some insights because I'm really at a loss here?
take treatment for sinusitis, reduce the infection.

I've been dealing with a deviated septum where my right nostril is almost completely blocked and I can only breathe through the left side. Lately, my snoring has gotten really bad is surgery the only option or are there other ways to manage this?
While surgery (septoplasty) is often necessary to correct a deviated septum and improve breathing, it's not always the first or only option. If your symptoms are manageable, medications like decongestants, antihistamines, and nasal steroid sprays can be used to alleviate nasal congestion and inflammation. If your snoring is also a problem, lifestyle changes and certain devices can help reduce snoring. If symptoms worsen or are persistent, then surgery may be considered.
