I'm really worried because for almost two years now, it feels like a lot of mucus is just building up in my mouth and throat, and it's like I constantly have to clear my throat. But lately, the past month or so, I've been feeling this burning sensation down my throat, especially when I breathe, and it's super bothersome. My throat and chest also feel really congested. I haven't had a fever, but it's been going on for so long now. What could be causing this?

View allI'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.

I've been having this strange sound in my ear, like a buzzing or hissing, and I think it's tinnitus. It's been going on for about four months now, and it only happens in one ear. It's making it really hard for me to sleep or focus during the day. I've read that tinnitus might not be treatable, and I'm feeling really stuck. Could you maybe give me some advice or guidance on what I should do next?
Feeling like something is stuck in your throat can be unsettling! Given your tobacco and pan masala addiction, it's essential to take this symptom seriously. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF)_: A precancerous condition common in tobacco and pan masala users. 2. _Tobacco-related lesions_: Leukoplakia, erythroplakia, or other lesions can cause throat irritation. 3. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing up into the throat can cause discomfort. 4. _Throat infection or inflammation_: Bacterial or viral infections can cause throat irritation. _Cancer Risk_ While it's impossible to diagnose cancer without a medical examination, your tobacco and pan masala addiction increases your risk of developing oral, throat, or esophageal cancer. _Urgent Action Required_ 1. _Consult an ENT specialist or oncologist_: Schedule an appointment for a thorough examination and diagnosis. 2. _Get a biopsy or imaging tests_: If necessary, undergo tests to rule out cancer or other serious conditions. 3. _Quit tobacco and pan masala_: Seek professional help to overcome your addiction and reduce your cancer risk. Don't delay seeking medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.
