I've been sneezing like 20 to 30 times a day, my nose is constantly stuffy, and my eyes are so watery. I talked to an ENT doctor and they had me take fexofenadine for a month, but it's not really helping. Do you have any better ideas to help with this?

Persistent discomfort near the esophagus while swallowing can be concerning!

Given your symptoms and lack of improvement with the prescribed medications, consider the following possibilities:

  1. Esophagitis: Inflammation of the esophagus, possibly caused by acid reflux or infection.
  2. Dysphagia: Difficulty swallowing due to a narrowing or obstruction of the esophagus.
  3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort and inflammation.
  4. Esophageal spasm: Abnormal muscle contractions in the esophagus, leading to discomfort and difficulty swallowing.

It's essential to seek further evaluation and diagnosis from:

  1. Gastroenterologist: For an endoscopy or other diagnostic tests to examine the esophagus and stomach.
  2. ENT specialist: To reassess the tonsillitis diagnosis and explore other possible causes.

In the meantime, try:

  1. Avoiding trigger foods: Identify and avoid foods that exacerbate your symptoms.
  2. Eating smaller, more frequent meals: To reduce discomfort and difficulty swallowing.
  3. Staying upright after meals: To minimize acid reflux and discomfort.

Please consult your doctor or a specialist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

My nose tip has been itching really badly every morning. It's strange because it only happens in the morning, never at any other time of the day. Once I'm ready and about to leave for work, the itching starts, and it's really annoying. I can't seem to figure out why or what might be causing this. Any ideas?

Morning nose tip itching can be frustrating. Here are some possible causes: *Allergies* 1. *Dust mites*: Exposure to dust mites in your pillow or bedding. 2. *Pet allergies*: If you have pets, their dander might be causing the itch. *Environmental Factors* 1. *Dry air*: Low humidity in the morning can dry out your skin, causing itchiness. 2. *Cold weather*: If you live in a cold climate, the morning chill might be irritating your nose. *Skin Conditions* 1. *Seborrheic dermatitis*: A common skin condition that can cause itchiness and flakiness. 2. *Contact dermatitis*: Irritation from a new soap, moisturizer, or other product. *Other Possible Causes* 1. *Nose picking or rubbing*: Unconscious habits can cause irritation and itchiness. 2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin B7 (biotin) or omega-3 fatty acids. To alleviate the itch, try: 1. Applying a gentle moisturizer to your nose tip. 2. Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. 3. Avoiding scratching or rubbing your nose. 4. Keeping your bedroom clean and dust-free.

So Ive been dealing with an itchy throat for a while now and tried a bunch of meds, but none of them seemed to help. My doctor suggested I get a Sr IGE test, which I did, and my levels came back at 373, but the normal range should be below 158. What exactly is IGE and does this mean I have allergies? Will medications help get my levels back to normal? And what kind of allergen could cause this? Would really love some guidance on what to do next.

I'm experiencing continuous sneezing after I masturbate, and I've checked with doctors, but all of them say it's an allergy. I also feel discomfort in my uvula, which I think might be causing the sneezing. I'm really curious about what might be going on. Is there something specific causing this, or any way to prevent it?
