I'm trying to understand a recent report I got. It mentions "mild DNS toward the right" and "bilateral concha bullosa," plus something about "pneumatization of the left anterior clenoid process" being an anatomical variant. Can you help me make sense of what these terms mean for my health? Should I be worried about any of this?

If you're experiencing symptoms like nasal obstruction, sinus infections, or facial pressure, you may benefit from:
Medical treatment: Nasal sprays, antihistamines, or decongestants. Surgical evaluation: If symptoms persist, consult an ENT specialist. Procedures like septoplasty or turbinate reduction might be considered.

View allAfter eating chicken about a year ago, I felt like a bone got stuck in my throat. I went to an ENT specialist and got an X-ray, which turned out normal. A few months ago, I felt that same stuck sensation in the same spot after eating something and ended up coughing and vomiting, which made me feel better. Today, I had food and felt the same thing again, same spot, and I coughed and vomited again, but this time, I noticed some bloody sputum, and I've had a cough for the last two days. Im wondering why its the same spot every time and if the blood could be related to this cough and cold. What do you think might be going on?

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues plus a deviated nasal septum for 13 years, but lately at night either my left or right nostril gets blocked while the other stays clear - never both at the same time. Is surgery necessary if I'm still sleeping fine? With my wedding next month, I'm wondering if I should just live with this condition or get it fixed - what surgery would work best without side effects or the problem coming back?
While your nasal issues may not be severe enough to necessitate immediate surgery, particularly with your wedding coming up, consulting an ENT doctor is highly recommended to determine the best course of action for you. If your symptoms are minimally disruptive, conservative management might suffice. However, if the nasal blockage is causing significant issues like difficulty breathing, noisy breathing during sleep, or persistent congestion, surgery (septoplasty) might be necessary to straighten the deviated septum and address any turbinate issues.

I've been having some trouble with my throat over the past year. It started with it getting really dry at night, even though I'm drinking a lot of water. Then, a few weeks ago, these solid white sticky stones started forming near my tonsils. They smelled really bad, but I managed to remove them a couple of times using a toothbrush and cotton stick when they got to about 0.25cm. But now, it feels like there's a bigger stone deeper in my throat that I just can't reach or see, even with a mirror. Gargling with salt water and coughing hasn't helped at all, and it's so uncomfortable when I eat or drink. I'm not sure if it's the same kind of stone growing back or something else entirely. What do you think it could be, and what can I do about it?
