I've been sneezing non-stop and my doctor mentioned trying nasal sprays. How often can I safely use them each day? Are there any side effects I should worry about? Also, could you recommend a good nasal spray by name?

Nasal sprays for allergies are usually given once in a day 2 sprays per nostril. Also it depends on the compound in the spray.Usually sprays for allergies do not have any side effects and can be used safely for a long time. But there are also other nasal sprays which shouldnt be used for more then 3-4 days.

I had earwax removed and now I'm hearing sounds in my ear. One doctor mentioned there's a hole in my middle ear and suggested surgery, while another advised waiting 3 months to see if it heals naturally and recommended daily steam. Can a hole in the ear heal on its own, and what are the chances of natural recovery?

for P/E ENT specialist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with this issue for the past couple of weeks and it's really starting to worry me. My throat is constantly dry, and it's really painful when I try to swallow my saliva. It's strange though, because I can swallow food and water just fine. This dry throat thing is just nonstop all day and I'm kind of at a loss here. What do you think might be going on? Could it be something serious?

that could be pharungitis,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm getting a bit concerned because my mom has been snoring really loudly for the past six months, and the sounds are, well, kind of unusual. Could this be a sign of thyroid issues, or might it be something else altogether?

No it is not
