I've been having neck pain since last week and even had a fever for one night. When I sleep, I usually have some discomfort, so I tried going without a pillow, which helped for a few days. I've also been sleeping under a fan at night. Today, I noticed a lump in my tonsil area on the left side of my neck, and theres pain on the right side, but the swelling is only on the left. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this and how I can treat it. Any insights you can provide?

Fever that lasts for several days. Difficulty swallowing or breathing. If the lump gets larger or more painful over time. If there are any new lumps or unexplained symptoms that arise. get it evaluated by a doctor

View allI've been dealing with a lot of sneezing, a running nose, and now a blocked nose for over 20 days, and my head feels heavy. I tried taking cetrizine and cetgel, but they haven't helped. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or an allergist to rule out underlying conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or nasal polyps; in addition to Cetrizine and Cetgel, you may want to try other treatments like nasal saline irrigation, steam inhalation, or immunotherapy; also, ask your doctor about alternative medications like Montelukast, Azelastine, or Fluticasone nasal spray, which may provide relief from your symptoms.

I've had chronic sinusitis and had DNS surgery twice, but I still get heavy pressure around my forehead and eyebrows, especially on the left side. Right now, I'm taking levocetrizine hydrochloride 5mg and ambroxol HCl 60mg, which helped a bit with the dullness. Can I increase the dose to twice a day? I'm worried about side effects because last time I tried that, it caused sinus congestion and discharge. What do you suggest?

I've been dealing with this heavy feeling in my left eye and the area around it for the past six months and they're often teary. I already saw an eye specialist but they said everything's fine with my eye. Then I went to an ENT and found out it's sinusitis. I'm really curious, can sinusitis really affect eyes like this? And what can I do to cope with it?
Yes, sinusitis can affect the eyes, causing symptoms like heaviness, teary eyes, and pressure around the eyes due to inflammation in the sinus cavities. To cope, treatment may include decongestants, nasal sprays, steam inhalation, and possibly antibiotics if an infection is present. Consult your ENT specialist for further management.
