I'm really worried because I've been having this weird sensation like there's a lump in my throat for the past six months, and it comes with shortness of breath, stiffness, and pain on the back left side. It seems to ease up a bit when I burp, which is strange. Could there be something in my throat that's making it hard to breathe?

I've been having a dry cough and some throat pain, especially when I move my neck. It also feels like my throat is tight. What could be causing this? Should I be worried or do I need to see a doctor?

I'm really concerned because I've had tonsillitis for three weeks now and it just won't go away. I've been on antibiotics for ten days but haven't seen any improvement. Could this be a bacterial or viral infection? Also, I can't help but worry if this could be a sign of early HIV ARS. I don't have any other symptoms, just swollen tonsils with white spots. What could be going on?

no need to worry it's not related HIV, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've had really bad nasal congestion worse on the right side for 2 years now and my CT scan showed polypoidal mucosal thickening in all my sinuses plus a mild S shaped nasal deviation. My ENT put me on Montek 10 mg and Flutiflo nasal spray but I'm not getting much relief. Tried Ayurveda too with no luck. I'm diabetic, hypertensive and hypothyroid on meds - really don't want surgery but need something that'll actually work. What's the best medical treatment option for me?

Chronic sinus congestion with polyps and deviation responds to intranasal steroids,antihistamines,balloon sinuplasty,and possible biologic therapy before surgery.
