I've been dealing with on-and-off fevers for about a month now, along with mucus and a sore throat. Just last week, I noticed these yellow blister-like spots in my throat, about the size of half a penny, and my throat's pink color is changing to this yellowish white. I work around kids, so I'm always around a lot of germs. The doctor mentioned a respiratory infection last week but didn't run any tests and prescribed amoxicillin. It's been six days and things seem to be getting worse. Do you have any idea what this might be?

I'm really curious about how nasal congestion might impact oxygen levels in the body. Is it possible that having a stuffy nose could actually reduce how much oxygen my body is getting? I'm a bit worried about this and would love to understand it better.

Yes, nasal congestion can decrease oxygen saturation levels, as it reduces airflow through the nasal passages, leading to reduced oxygen intake, which can cause a drop in oxygen saturation levels, especially in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or sleep apnea.

My tympanoplasty failed because of a cold and now my eardrum is still ruptured, though it's a bit better than before. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I really don't want to go through another surgery. What are my options?
