I've been struggling with a sore throat and difficulty swallowing for the last couple of days. It's also becoming hard to talk, and I've noticed a dry cough coming and going. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be worried about anything serious?

If you're experiencing severe swelling after an ant bite, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime:
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Elevate the affected area.
- Avoid scratching or rubbing.
If you experience difficulty urinating, severe pain, or breathing issues, go to the emergency room.

View allI've been struggling for a while with some leftover symptoms from the flu I had about 3 weeks back. The fever and body aches are gone, but the sore throat and ear ache just won't quit. Now, I've also got this annoying muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. I tried taking Cataflam, and it seemed to work wonders for about 2-3 days, but now it does nothing, even when I take one every day. There's still a bit of a stuffy nose hanging around too. It's weird because I don't have tonsils anymore, so I'm just wondering what's going on. Any advice on what this could be or what I should do next?
That needs proper evaluation and treatment, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management.

I've had really bad nasal congestion worse on the right side for 2 years now and my CT scan showed polypoidal mucosal thickening in all my sinuses plus a mild S shaped nasal deviation. My ENT put me on Montek 10 mg and Flutiflo nasal spray but I'm not getting much relief. Tried Ayurveda too with no luck. I'm diabetic, hypertensive and hypothyroid on meds - really don't want surgery but need something that'll actually work. What's the best medical treatment option for me?
Chronic sinus congestion with polyps and deviation responds to intranasal steroids,antihistamines,balloon sinuplasty,and possible biologic therapy before surgery.
