I'm really worried because I've got this yellow pus with a terrible smell coming out of my right nostril. It's got this drainage-like odor that's just unbearable. Last month I had a lot of tooth pain, but that's gone now. The pus seems to come out whenever I bend over. I've seen a top ENT and a dentist, and they couldn't figure out what's wrong, even after an X-ray in the front of my mouth. Now they're suggesting a CT scan to diagnose it. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?

It sounds like you may have a sinus infection with a possible connection to your tooth. The yellow pus and bad smell are concerning symptoms. To help with the infection, you can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can use a nasal spray like Fluticasone propionate spray in each nostril once daily to reduce inflammation in the sinuses. It's important to follow up with the CT scan as recommended by your healthcare providers for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

It's difficult to definitively diagnose whether your nasal issue is polyps or swollen turbinates without a visual examination. However, the symptoms you've described (sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, and sometimes a blocked throat) are common in both conditions, particularly when associated with allergic rhinitis, which you've also mentioned. Treatment options beyond surgery for both nasal polyps and turbinate hypertrophy include medications and lifestyle changes

I'm a bit worried because I found two white spots on my uvula. I recently came back from a trip where I was talking loudly, and my throat ended up red and swollen. I just noticed the white spots today, although I don't have any fever symptoms. It just feels like there's a hair stuck in my throat. What could this be, and should I be concerned?
Since you have no fever symptoms and it feels like something is stuck in your throat, it could also be related to irritation from talking loudly. To help with the symptoms and treat any possible infection, I recommend using a throat spray like Chloraseptic to help numb the throat and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) to help with any pain or inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
