Question

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?

Question

I've had abnormally large tonsils for a while and tonsil stones before, so I know what those are like. But now I've found this hard white lump deep beneath the skin, and it seems like it's gotten a bit bigger over the past month. I'm just wondering what this could be and if it's something I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm worried because yesterday I made a mistake and used hand sanitizer on my face and inside my nostrils when something dirty fell on me. I know I shouldn't have done it, and now I'm a bit concerned about any possible issues. I'm having a slight headache and the air I breathe through my nose feels warm. Could the alcohol in the hand sanitizer be drying out my nostrils? Could there be any side effects from this?

Question

I've had tinnitus for 6 months and it's getting worse, sometimes keeping me awake at night. Is this condition curable or will I have to live with it forever? Are there any surgical options to fix tinnitus? It's really affecting my mental health and I feel desperate for some relief
