I've been having a sore throat for about three weeks, along with ear pain and swelling on one side of my neck. I've also got tonsil stones, super dry mouth, and I noticed red bumps at the back of my throat and on my tongue. Theres a bit of thrush too. Could all of this be related to candida?

I've been dealing with some nasal congestion and was told I might have turbinate hypertrophy. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medications or treatments that could help shrink the turbinates or at least give me some relief without having to go under the knife? Would love some advice on what to try or any tips on managing this.

I've been dealing with this really unpleasant smell coming from my throat for the past six years. It's not constant, but I notice this bad smell sometimes moving from my throat to my nose. I'm feeling worried about what might be causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I might be able to fix it?
The bad smell youre experiencing could be related to a variety of conditions, including sinus issues, tonsil problems, or oral health concerns. Improving your oral hygiene, staying hydrated, and addressing potential underlying conditions like post-nasal drip or GERD may help alleviate the issue. If it persists or worsens, a visit to an ENT specialist or dentist is a good next step to pinpoint the exact cause and determine the best course of treatment.
