I've been having trouble with my nose getting blocked every morning, and it's leading to all this sneezing. I've also got a dry cough, and it's been keeping me from sleeping well early in the morning. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It seems like youre dealing with a combination of nasal congestion, sneezing, and coughing, which can definitely be uncomfortable and disruptive to your sleep. By addressing the possible underlying causessuch as allergies, sinusitis, or drynessyou may be able to find some relief. If over-the-counter treatments arent helping, consider seeing an ENT specialist who can provide a more tailored treatment plan.

I'm 17 and recently had a check-up where the doctor diagnosed me with acute otitis media in my right ear, possibly due to my cold. I've been taking antibiotics like Natravox, using a nasal spray, and a tablet called Nasathera for the cold. The pain in my ear has gone away after taking painkillers, and my cold has cleared up too. But I'm still not hearing fully from my right earthere's this ringing sound. I dance as a hobby, and with a dance concert coming up soon, I'm wondering if it's safe to continue practicing or do any strenuous activities with this ear infection. Could this affect my recovery or hearing any further?

I've been feeling like there's an air bubble stuck in my throat for the last couple of weeks, and it's not going away. There's also a lump on one of my tonsils and it seems bigger than usual. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?

The persistent air bubble sensation in your throat and the enlarged tonsil lump warrant medical attention; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I've been dealing with nasal blockage for about six months now, and it turns out my turbinates are swollen, at least that's what the ENT doctor said. I caught Covid-19 last year, and I'm not sure if it's related but no medication seems to help. I'm using saline drops to manage the situation, but I'm really wondering if surgery is my only option to fix the swollen turbinates. Also, could allergy shots be a good alternative? And I'm kinda nervous about the surgerydoes it cause Empty Nose Syndrome? I'd love to hear the best advice on this.
