I've been dealing with nasal congestion for more than 5 to 6 days now, and I've been using decongestants pretty frequently. I'm really worried because I've started having some breathing problems and mild asthma symptoms. Is it possible that the decongestants are making things worse, and what should I do about it?

I'm currently taking Vertin 8 mg for decreased hearing in one ear and have been on it for over a week now. I've just been prescribed Dolo 650 and Aziwok 500 mg and was wondering if I can take all of these together at night after eating. I also take a half tablet of Nexito 5 mg in the morning. Is it safe to combine all these medications? Are there any interactions I should be worried about?

I've noticed this white spot on the back of my throat for a few days now, just the one, it hasn't spread or anything. Along with it, I've been dealing with a cold cough, runny nose, sore muscles but it's nothing too serious. Should I be worried about this spot?

I'm feeling something hairy-like deep down in my throat, and it's been going on for almost three months now. It makes me feel like I need to throw up or spit something out, but nothing actually comes out. This usually happens when I'm around dust or during a flu. I'm not pregnant, so I'm trying to figure out what's causing this sensation. Could you help me understand what's happening with my throat?

The symptoms you are describing could be due to post-nasal drip, which is a common condition where mucus accumulates in the back of your throat and can cause the sensation of something stuck or tickling in your throat. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily to reduce mucus production. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean (sodium chloride) can help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If these symptoms persist, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
