I've been dealing with pain when I turn my neck and this weird feeling like something's stuck in my throat. An X-ray showed an elongated styloid process on my right side. I've seen multiple ENT and ortho doctors, tried antibiotics, pain meds, anti-inflammatory gargles, and tablets but nothing's helped. What's the best way to treat this - surgery, physical therapy, or something else?

It's likely you're experiencing Eagle syndrome, a condition caused by an elongated styloid process, which can cause pain in the throat, neck, and face, along with a feeling of something being stuck in the throat. The best treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms and whether conservative measures have been tried

View allI've been noticing that whenever I sneeze, I see some thick blood coming from my nose. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this issue. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
Do you also get a blocked nose? Also, do you feel any trickle down your throat, phlegm in your throat and dry cough? If yes, this could be sinusitis that you are facing... Also, do you have any bleeding gums, blood in urine ir stool?

I have a deviated septum and it's making it really hard to breathe normally. Would a septoplasty surgery help fix this issue? What's the recovery like and are there any risks I should know about?
septoplasty is advised.

I've been dealing with a constant, light phlegm in my throat for about 4 months now. It all started back during the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown when I used a tissue between my kerchief and nose for 2 days while on duty. By the third day, I had chest and throat pain, and the phlegm got worse. I've stopped using tissues, but the phlegm issue didn't go away. I visited a couple of medical shops, but the medicines they gave me like Amoxycillin, Intase Incoff Forte, Histan B, Kuffdryl, and Amorax didnt really help. Now, apart from those first two days, I havent had any chest or throat pain, no sneezes or runny nose. It's just that the phlegm keeps coming, and sometimes I have to cough it up and spit it out almost every minute. Its not thick or green. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
take syrup ascoril 5ml twice daily, drink hot water only
