I've been dealing with a blocked nose for the past two weeks and got a CT scan done. I've attached the report do you think I might need surgery for this? What would you suggest based on the findings?

Without seeing the CT scan, it‚Äôs hard to determine if surgery is required. Often, nasal obstruction can be treated with medication or a procedure, but surgery is considered only if there's a structural issue like a deviated septum.

I've been dealing with this fever, cough, and cold situation, and while I've started taking meds, my sore throat just won't go away. I had some cucumber and tomato raita last night, and I'm worried if they might be making my throat worse. Could those foods be affecting my recovery?

Eating cucumber and dahi (yogurt) is unlikely to cause or worsen a sore throat; in fact, yogurt has anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe a sore throat; however, the acidity in tomatoes might slightly irritate the throat, but this is usually temporary and mild; it's more likely that your sore throat persists due to the underlying viral or bacterial infection, and it may take some time to fully recover, so continue with your medicatio
