I'm really worried about this situation with my nose. I recently saw an ENT doctor who did a full face x-ray and said that the bone on one side of my nostril is bent, which is blocking a bit of the airway and leaving very little space to breathe on that side. He gave me some medicine for 10 days, but I'm unsure if this will actually help in straightening the bone or if surgery might be necessary. I've been feeling really weak and I think it's because I'm not getting enough oxygen. What should I do?

View allI'm having some trouble with my voiceit feels like I need to put in extra effort to speak, and it weakens after a while. This has been happening for about three months now. I also feel a constant dry and burning sensation in my throat, especially tough in the morning when I can't speak until I've had some water. I've tried voice adduction therapy as suggested by my speech therapist, but it hasn't really worked. Is there any way I could reach out to you through Skype for some advice?

I'm feeling really anxious about this odd thing in the back of my throat. I managed to get a picture of it but I'm not quite sure if I can share it here or not. It looks like a small off-white square way back there behind my tongue. The wider I open my mouth, the more visible it gets, and it seems to bob up and down. Should I be worried? Any idea what this could be?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may have a case of tonsilloliths, also known as tonsil stones. These are small, off-white deposits that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They can sometimes cause discomfort or a sensation of something being stuck in your throat. To help alleviate the symptoms and prevent further tonsil stone formation, you can try gargling with warm salt water or using a water flosser to gently dislodge the stones. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are persistent or causing significant issues, a doctor may recommend removal of the tonsils. In the meantime, you can also try using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide to help reduce bacteria in the mouth and prevent the formation of new tonsil stones.

I've been told I have nasal polyps in my right nostril. I went to an ENT and they said I needed a CT scan, which I did. After reviewing the scan, the doc said I should have surgery right away and didn't even suggest any medication first. It feels a bit suspicious to me. From what I've found online, these polyps seem pretty common. I'm just wondering if there are medicines or home remedies I could try before jumping into surgery. What do you think?
No surgical excision is the treatment of choice for nasal polyps,trust your doctor and follow their advice.
