I've been experiencing this weird tightness in my neck along with a sore throat that comes and goes. It's been almost a week now, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Sometimes I feel it pretty strongly, and other times it's not there at all. What could be going on?

View allI'm dealing with a dry nose and mouth after recovering from Covid-19. I'm drinking about 3 liters of water every day, but the issue still persists, especially at night. I'm also taking a 0.5 mg anxit tablet for anxiety. What else can I do to get some relief?
In addition to staying hydrated, you can try using a saline nasal spray for your dry nose. Also, consider using a humidifier in your room at night to help with the dryness. If the symptoms persist, you can consult with your doctor about using a medication like pilocarpine (Salagen) to stimulate saliva production.

I've been dealing with pharyngitis and had a throat culture done, which showed klebsiella pneumoniae present. I took antibiotics, and while some symptoms have improved, others linger. How can I know for sure if the bacteria is completely gone, and could the pharyngitis be caused by something else? If I get a repeat culture test and it comes back negative, does that definitely mean the bacteria is gone, or is there a chance it's still there but just not growing right now? Could you clarify this for me?

I've been dealing with sinus problems that cause heaviness around my nose and forehead. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure - is nasal surgery really necessary for treating sinus issues? What other options might help relieve this pressure?
Try nasal irrigation, antihistamines, steam, or balloon sinuplasty before surgery if sinus pressure is mild.
