I've been dealing with dry sinusitis for a couple of months now and it's been really uncomfortable because there's no mucous forming at all in my nostril. I'm using Nasoclear saline spray and Otrivin only when its absolutely necessary. I've noticed there's some swelling in my left nasal wall, and a little bit on the right too. I'm feeling like I really need a good nasal moisturizer, but I'm not sure what treatment would be best to fix this. What should I do?

Ouch, that sounds painful!

Swallowing warm food can cause:

Esophageal burns or scalds

Inflammation and irritation

To alleviate the discomfort:

Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foodsdrinks

Opt for soft, bland, and cool foods (e.g., yogurt, scrambled eggs)

Stay hydrated with lukewarm water

Consider over-the-counter antacids or pain relievers

If the pain persists or worsens, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and guidance.

I've been dealing with throat infections and a cough since January 17th, and it's really frustrating. My voice keeps getting hoarse, especially after I have ice cream or cold fruits. What's weird is that now my voice sounds hoarse even without a throat infection. I'm worried and not sure why this is happening. Could it be something more?
