I've been dealing with sinusitis, and after a CT scan about five months ago, it seemed like things were getting better. Most of the symptoms went away once I took antibiotics and used nasal spray. But now I still get this post-nasal drip at night and then in the morning there's mucus in my throat. I don't have a cough or anything like that. Does this mean my sinusitis isn't totally gone? Could this post-nasal drip last forever unless I have surgery? And is surgery necessary if it's not really messing with my daily life?

Your sinusitis seems to be largely healed, but post-nasal drip is a common residual symptom that doesnt necessarily mean the condition is unresolved. It is not lifelong for most people, and surgery is not needed unless the problem is much more severe. You can manage the post-nasal drip with home remedies and over-the-counter treatments, and surgery is not a requirement if your symptoms are not significantly affecting your daily life.

View allI'm really worried about my husband. His neck is swollen on the left side, behind the ear, and it doesn't hurt. Our ENT specialist did a fine needle test and the microscopy report says there's no sign of cassation granuloma or malignancy. They mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid aspirate and advised excision if there's clinical suspicion for Koch's. Can you help explain what all this means? We also tried two weeks of antibiotics and the swelling seems to be getting smaller. I'm trying to understand if we should still be concerned.

My 9-year-old has been struggling with tonsillitis for the past week and it's been really tough. Can you tell me more about what the surgery involves for kids this age? I'm worried about how it works and what recovery looks like for them.
It's tough to see your child struggling, but tonsillitis usually resolves on its own within a week or two, especially if it's viral. If your child's condition doesn't improve or if they have any concerning symptoms (like difficulty breathing or swallowing), it's best to consult a doctor

I often wake up feeling like there's something stuck in the back of my throat, kind of like phlegm, but it feels more like a rubbery slime or clay. It's really making me feel nauseous and I'm wondering if there's any medicine to help with it. I've had sinusitis before, which got better, but this still happens. When I eat, I sometimes can't swallow properly, and other times my throat gets super dry, and I think some cough might have gotten frozen in there due to fungus or something. What could this be, and is there a treatment for it?
take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days
