I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis since 2006 and usually take allercet tablets when needed, sometimes with flomist nasal spray though it doesn't always work. I'm worried about long-term side effects of taking allercet regularly - are there any risks? Mornings are the worst with constant sneezing, runny nose and itchy red eyes. The allercet makes me feel drowsy too. Are there better treatment options or even surgery that could help me live more normally without these symptoms

Long-term Allercet use may cause drowsiness; consider immunotherapy or consulting an ENT for possible surgical correction of chronic allergic rhinitis.

I'm experiencing this weird sensation starting from my chest up to my throat, almost like a gargling feeling. There's a lot of post nasal drip and now my whole throat is super irritated. It's giving me this intense nausea that makes me gag a lot, sometimes over 20 times. It happens every few months and it's so bad that I can't keep anything down. As soon as something hits my throat, it just comes back up. Any advice on how to deal with this?
The combination of post-nasal drip, gagging, and nausea sounds incredibly uncomfortable, but with the right management, you can start to see relief. Its crucial to figure out the underlying cause (allergies, GERD, sinusitis, etc.) so you can target the treatment appropriately. If this is a recurring problem, seeing an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist might help pinpoint the exact cause and provide a more tailored treatment plan.

How can I improve my eardrum condition after surgery? I'm worried about the recovery process and what steps I should take to make sure it heals properly. Are there specific things I should avoid or any treatments that could help speed up the healing?
Keep your ear dry and avoid swimming, showering, and submerging your head in water for at least two weeks after your procedure. Use ear drops or ointment as directed by your doctor. Avoid activities that may cause trauma to your ears, such as playing flying in airplane, loud music, swimming without cap etc.
