I've been dealing with nasal polyps for two years now, mostly in my right nostril. Hot drinks seem to make it worse and I'm relying on otrivin spray for relief but want something more permanent. Surgery isn't an option right now - what else can I try to manage this?

Nasal sprays, steam inhalation, allergy control, and steroids can reduce polyp size—consider immunotherapy if chronic.

I'm experiencing some popping and crackling sounds in my ears, especially when I swallow. It's mostly happening on the left side, but occasionally on the right too. I've also noticed some pain below my ear. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this, and do I need to see a specialist?

No,it's not possible for an insect to settle down there,the noise could be due to fluid movement which is due to ear effusion, practice valsalva, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I'm a 34-year-old guy who's been dealing with off-and-on nasal congestion for as long as I can remember. I just had an x-ray of my nose and the PNS result showed some haziness in the right maxillary sinus. My ENT doctor has put me on a course of amoxclav for five days, plus I'm using a fluticasone nasal spray and taking telecast L tablets. I'm really curious about what's causing this haziness. Is it something that happens often, or is there any reason I should be worried? Would appreciate some insight.

Thats common. Its sinusitis. Infection. Continue the medicines. Take steam inhalation 3-4 times a day Avoild refrigerated citruis fruits

I've had right vocal cord palsy for the last 3 months and my voice is still hoarse. What would be better for me surgery or voice therapy? I'm really worried about which option might work best

Talk to your provider if you have a condition or illness that increases your risk of vocal cord paralysis. These can include multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's, or recent chest or neck surgery. Voice therapy may prevent your condition from worsening and improve your vocal cord function.
