I've been dealing with this ear-blocking issue for the past few days. Every time I pull my ear down, I hear a sound like a "tup," and it seems like the blockage clears up, but then it just gets blocked again a few seconds later. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with this really unpleasant smell coming from my throat for the past six years. It's not constant, but I notice this bad smell sometimes moving from my throat to my nose. I'm feeling worried about what might be causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I might be able to fix it?

The bad smell youre experiencing could be related to a variety of conditions, including sinus issues, tonsil problems, or oral health concerns. Improving your oral hygiene, staying hydrated, and addressing potential underlying conditions like post-nasal drip or GERD may help alleviate the issue. If it persists or worsens, a visit to an ENT specialist or dentist is a good next step to pinpoint the exact cause and determine the best course of treatment.

My 15-year-old brother has DNS concha bullosa and the doctor recommended surgery. Is there no other treatment option or should we get a second opinion? His reports show the condition clearly but I'm unsure if surgery is the only way.

at the age of 16 surgery is advised.

I've been having a rough time with my throat lately. About two weeks ago, I had strep throat and got antibiotics for it, but even after finishing them, this cough just won't quit. Now my throat's starting to hurt again, I'm coughing up this brown-yellow phlegm, and I'm running a fever with a headache. It's so bad that I almost cough until I want to throw up. I'm stuck wondering if you can get strep throat again so soon, or if maybe it's something else entirely. What do you think?

You might have developed rhinosinusitis with post nasal drip.. need to be confirmed by local examination.. visit an ENT specialist for proper assessment and treatment..
