I've been dealing with chronic snoring for a while now and even had nasopharyngeal surgery, but it hasn't helped at all. What else can I try to get some relief? It's really affecting my sleep and I'm worried about why the surgery didn't work

Changing your sleep position, avoiding beverages containing alcohol and maintaining a weight that's healthy for you can reduce snoring. Medications. Cold and allergy medications relieve nasal congestion and help you breathe freely. Nasal strips.

View allI've been dealing with a sore throat since last week, and it was really red. My uvula got swollen, and it felt like it was touching my tongue. Now I'm feeling better, but my uvula still looks bigger than usual, and the tip seems black. Plus, my right tonsil is a bit swollen. Should I be worried about these symptoms?
You may have had a case of acute pharyngitis with uvulitis, and now you are experiencing some residual inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and inflammation, you can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help with the swelling and discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I had DNS surgery two days ago and now I'm getting mild to moderate pain right in the center of my forehead when I press there, sometimes even without pressing. There's also pain behind my eyes and my nose feels really dry inside. Is this normal after surgery or should I be worried?
Yes, experiencing mild to moderate pain in your forehead, behind your eyes, and a dry nose after DNS surgery is generally normal within the first few days post-operation. This is often due to inflammation, swelling, and the healing process of the tissues

I've been noticing these bubbles at the back of my throat and on the back of my tongue, close to where my throat starts. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck back there, but it's not painful, just kind of uncomfortable. I've tried using salt water, but it doesn't seem to do much. Any idea what I should do about this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can help improve your symptoms. If the discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
