It's been about three weeks since I got over Covid, but I'm having this issue where one side of my nose keeps getting partially blocked off and on throughout the day. The side it happens on changes randomly. Plus, there's this slight feeling of mucus in my throat every now and then. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it pretty normal post-recovery?

It's not uncommon to experience lingering symptoms like nasal congestion and throat mucus after recovering from COVID. These can be part of post-viral recovery, but if they persist or worsen, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any other issues.

View allI'm really concerned because I've been able to see my epiglottis for about a month now, and it seems like it's sitting really high. I'm not having any issues with breathing, swallowing, or speaking, but I'm still worried about why this is happening. Will it go away on its own, or is there something I should be doing to help it get back to normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
You may be experiencing epiglottitis, which is inflammation of the epiglottis. In adults, epiglottitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment. Antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone or Cefotaxime may be prescribed to treat the infection. In severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and management of your condition.

I'm dealing with vertigo and I'm not sure whether I should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist, or maybe even both. Can you help me figure out which one would be more appropriate for my symptoms? Also, is this condition harmful or something I shouldn't be too worried about? I'm curious if it's something that can be treated with just medicine or exercises. Is surgery sometimes necessary for this kind of issue?
If you are experiencing vertigo which is triggered by positional changes, such as whilst getting up from a lying down position, or whilst turning your head quickly, you should consult an ENT specialist in order to rule out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If your vertigo is triggered at random, without any particular change in position, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

I'm feeling really dizzy and it's been going on for about 5 weeks now. Can you tell me why this might be happening? Is dizziness like this common, and how long does it usually last for people with vertigo? I'm currently taking flunarizine and betahistine as prescribed by an ENT specialist. Do these medications seem right for my issue?
