I've been dealing with a lot of sneezing, a running nose, and now a blocked nose for over 20 days, and my head feels heavy. I tried taking cetrizine and cetgel, but they haven't helped. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or an allergist to rule out underlying conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or nasal polyps; in addition to Cetrizine and Cetgel, you may want to try other treatments like nasal saline irrigation, steam inhalation, or immunotherapy; also, ask your doctor about alternative medications like Montelukast, Azelastine, or Fluticasone nasal spray, which may provide relief from your symptoms.

View allI've been dealing with daily nasal infections for years and take night montek lc regularly but every morning I wake up with nasal mucosa discharge even after my septoplasty surgery what should I do to stop this
To address persistent morning nasal discharge despite regular medication and a septoplasty, a comprehensive approach including identifying the cause and implementing specific treatment strategies is recommended. This could involve further testing for allergies or infections, exploring the possibility of nasal polyps or other structural issues, and potentially adjusting your medication or trying alternative therapies like nasal irrigation or steroid sprays

I think I have a small soft palate and it's affecting my speech. A speech therapist recommended surgery, but I'm not sure if that's the only option. Could a small soft palate really cause speech issues and what are the alternatives to surgery?
Yes, a small soft palate, or velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), can indeed cause speech problems, particularly nasal sounding speech. While surgery is often recommended for VPI, it's not the only option, and other therapies can be effective. Speech therapy, prosthetic devices, and even biofeedback can help improve speech in many cases

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and dealing with a throat infection. I've been advised to take Taxim 200, but I've always associated it with being prescribed for diarrhea, while Amoxicillin was what I used for throat infections. I'm wondering if Taxim is really suitable for treating throat infections as well. Any insights?
Yes you can use Taxim for throat infection too no problem ot will work.
