I'm waking up with a really weird sensation, like there's something rubbery or mucus-like stuck in my throat or behind my voice box. I've had post-nasal drip before and even saw an ENT specialist about it. I don't have any allergies. I had a CT scan a couple of months ago, and it showed minimal mucosal thickening in my right maxillary sinus. I also used a Netipot for about a week. Now, I'm dealing with some nasal obstruction. Could this obstruction be the reason for the rubbery mucus feeling?

How long does recovery usually take after concha bullosa surgery I'm considering it because of breathing issues headaches and trouble focusing while reading I heard it's a minor endoscopic procedure but I'm worried about taking time off work since I just started a new job Would I be okay to go back to work by Monday if I have the surgery on Saturday or is two days too soon for recovery

Recovery after concha bullosa surgery, especially a minor endoscopic procedure, usually takes a few days to a week, but full recovery might take longer. While some patients can return to work within a few days, others may experience mild discomfort for a few days after surgery. Two days after a Saturday surgery (by Monday) is likely too soon for most, and it's best to err on the side of caution and allow more time for recovery.

I'm a bit confused about a prescription I received. My doctor told me to use Flomist AQ nasal spray for my runny nose, but when I went to the pharmacy, they only had Flomist nasal spray. Is this the same thing, or should I be looking for something specific?

I'm dealing with nasal polyps and it's been a struggle, especially over the last two years. The right side of my nose has it the worst, and I've noticed that drinking hot beverages seems to make it worse. I'm really not keen on having surgery right now. I've been using Otrivin nasal spray, which helps a bit, but it's just a temporary fix. Could you recommend a permanent solution for this issue?
