View allI'm feeling really anxious because I went to the dentist for an emergency treatment today and now I've suddenly got this urge to cough. It feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this possibly be related to COVID? The dentist was super careful and followed all the protocols like wearing a face shield, sanitizing everything, using air purifiers, and taking my temperature. He even mentioned he hasnt seen any other patients in a month. Despite all this, I'm still worried. What should I do about these symptoms I'm experiencing?
Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I'm really worried about my son's recent diagnosis of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Can you tell me if his nasal turbinates might get bigger as he grows older? Also, what potential complications should I watch out for in the future because of this?
Inferior turbinate hypertrophy can indeed increase with age due to various factors such as allergies, infections, or chronic irritation. As the turbinate enlarges, it can lead to symptoms like nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, and recurrent sinus infections. In severe cases, it can even cause obstructive sleep apnea. To manage the symptoms and potential complications, your son can use nasal corticosteroid sprays like Flonase
