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 was dealing with nasal congestion and ear pain, and my doctor prescribed Lasma Ab for two weeks. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow up with the doctor afterward, so I've been continuing the medication. My nasal congestion seems to have improved, but I'm a bit worried. Could taking Lasma Ab for an extra two weeks do any harm?

If you have already taken Lasma AB for four weeks instead of the prescribed two, it is important to stop the medication and contact your doctor to assess whether any adjustments or further actions are needed.

I've been waking up with a dry and sore soft palate every morning for over a year now, especially on colder days. It also tends to get sore and dries out when I'm breathing through my nose without swallowing during the day. I notice I feel a bit feverish when it gets dry and sore, although that fades after I swallow. I've been using Nasivin nasal drops for over a year, which is when these issues began. Could there be a connection? What might be causing this, and what should I do about it?

That could be because of Dryness stay hydrated and take sips water during night also this would help you.
