I've been having some sinus problems and got an MRI of my brain because I've had these headaches and a stuffy nose. The report mentioned mild mucosal thickening in my bilateral maxillary and left sphenoid sinuses. How serious is this? What kind of treatment should I be looking at?

I'm a 31-year-old male who had gall bladder removal surgery in 2016 and have been on hypertension meds for the past year with an average BP of 120/90 mmHg. For the last month, I've had this throat issue where it feels like mucus is running down my throat on and off, and for the past 10 days, I've also been dealing with constipation and gastric problems. An ENT specialist checked my throat and mentioned pharyngitis, prescribing Pan DSR and Sinarest 500 mg for 10 days. I finished the course, but the symptoms are still there. Could this be more related to my throat or an abdomen issue? What should I do next?

I'm trying to understand how to use Tufpro suspension. Is it meant to be swallowed like a regular medication, or is it supposed to be used just for rinsing the mouth and then spit out? I'm a bit confused about how to take it properly.

Tufpro Suspension is typically an oral medication that is meant to be swallowed. It is not intended for gargling and spitting out.
