I've been dealing with nasal blockage for about six months now, and it turns out my turbinates are swollen, at least that's what the ENT doctor said. I caught Covid-19 last year, and I'm not sure if it's related but no medication seems to help. I'm using saline drops to manage the situation, but I'm really wondering if surgery is my only option to fix the swollen turbinates. Also, could allergy shots be a good alternative? And I'm kinda nervous about the surgerydoes it cause Empty Nose Syndrome? I'd love to hear the best advice on this.

View allI'm really concerned because I initially had tonsils and a sore throat, so I took some antibiotics that were prescribed to me before, but now things seemed to get worse. I've developed this itchy and dry throat along with the tonsils, and I'm experiencing a lot of coughing at night when I'm trying to sleep and even some during the day. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?
take medicine

I've recently recovered from COVID, but now I'm suddenly having some nosebleeds and sometimes even blood in my sputum. It's a bit worrying because I also get mild headaches that just come and go with the bleeding. What could be causing this? Is it something related to the recovery?
