Question

I've been dealing with constant nose block and thick mucus that's causing ear blockage too. An ENT specialist recommended surgery for a deviated septum or extra bone growth in my nose, but I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any effective non-surgical treatments that could help with this condition?

Yes, several non-surgical treatments can address a deviated septum and related symptoms like nasal blockage, thick mucus, and ear blockage. These include nasal sprays, allergy medications, nasal strips, nasal irrigations, humidifiers, and addressing underlying allergies or asthma. If non-surgical treatments are insufficient, surgery (septoplasty) may be considered

Question

I've been feeling like my head is spinning all of a sudden, and it's making me feel queasy too. I saw someone about it, and they said it's vertigo. I started taking vertin16mg, and I'm just wondering if that's enough, or should I go back to see the doctor again?

Question

I've been dealing with a dry throat for the past three days. A few days ago, I had this sensation like something was caught in my throat, which eventually went away on its own, but now my throat just feels really dry. I get a mild cough, and there are times when I feel like I might have a fever, but then it disappears just as quickly. I've noticed some occasional chest pain, and sometimes my stomach acts up with gurgling twice a day. The only thing I've been taking is Calpol. It's particularly uncomfortable at night because the dryness makes it hard to sleep. Though there's no pain while swallowing or in the throat, it's beginning to bother me. Can you suggest any medicines or something I can do to help with this?

Question

I'm feeling really under the weather with a bad case of winter cold and congestion. There are so many tablets out there, and I'm just not sure which one is the best for quick relief. Could you suggest something effective for these symptoms, something to tackle this sardi jukam quickly? Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?
