I'm using ear drops that were prescribed to me, but every time I lie down and then stand up, the drops seem to come out of my ear. Is this supposed to happen, or should I be concerned?

View allI've been dealing with sinusitis, and after a CT scan about five months ago, it seemed like things were getting better. Most of the symptoms went away once I took antibiotics and used nasal spray. But now I still get this post-nasal drip at night and then in the morning there's mucus in my throat. I don't have a cough or anything like that. Does this mean my sinusitis isn't totally gone? Could this post-nasal drip last forever unless I have surgery? And is surgery necessary if it's not really messing with my daily life?
Your sinusitis seems to be largely healed, but post-nasal drip is a common residual symptom that doesnt necessarily mean the condition is unresolved. It is not lifelong for most people, and surgery is not needed unless the problem is much more severe. You can manage the post-nasal drip with home remedies and over-the-counter treatments, and surgery is not a requirement if your symptoms are not significantly affecting your daily life.

I've been experiencing throat pain for the past 34 days and it's not getting any better. It's really uncomfortable when I'm eating, sleeping, and even just breathing. I'm starting to worry about what might be causing it. What could this be and what should I do about it?

I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. It doesn't hurt, and I'm not having trouble swallowing, but it's just really uncomfortable. Any advice on what kind of test I should consider to figure out what's going on?
You may consider getting a barium swallow test or an endoscopy. These tests can help identify any potential issues in your throat or esophagus. Additionally, a laryngoscopy can also be helpful in examining your throat more closely. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate test for your specific situation.
