I've been having some trouble with my nose and noticed this yellowish thing inside, which I guess might be a polyp. I remember a doctor mentioning back in 2018 that I had polyps and might need surgery. But now, when I look in the mirror, I can really see it there, and it's tough to breathe through that nostril. When I try to inhale hard, it feels like something's vibrating near it. Do you think surgery is the only way to fix this, or is there a chance medication could help?

I've had such a rough time with my throat these past ten days. I haven't been eating or drinking anything cold or sour, and I've tried every home remedy I can think ofturmeric milk, mullethi, ginger-pepper tea, even gargling with salt. Plus, I've been taking antibiotics and some ayurvedic syrup called Joshina. Still, no improvement at all. What else can I do? Could I be missing something?

-It sounds like your throat infection is persistent despite multiple remedies. Since its been 10 days with no improvement, I recommend seeing an ENT specialist to rule out bacterial infections like strep throat or other underlying causes. Meanwhile, co
