I'm still dealing with a runny nose even 25 days after testing positive for COVID. I actually started having this runny nose about a week before my test, so it's been over a month now. Throughout this time, I haven't had any other symptomsjust the runny nose. My doctor suggested I take MontairLC, and I've been on it for five days, but there's been no change. Is a runny nose normal after having COVID, or is this something more serious? Could it be a fungal infection? What should I do next?

It's possible that your runny nose could be related to a post-COVID condition, or it might be a sign of another infection, such as a fungal infection. However, without further evaluation, it's difficult to determine the exact cause.

I've noticed a single white spot on my left tonsil for about two months now. There's no pain or anything, and I'm familiar with tonsil stones, but this doesn't seem like that. What could it possibly be? Could it be something I should be worried about?
