I've been told I need to get a tonsillectomy and I'm kind of anxious about it. Are there any risks or side effects I should be worried about? Is it really safe to go through with the tonsillectomy?

My right nose is blocked due to nasal congestion and allergies, and the doctor recommended surgery using advanced ENT with a navigator based on my CT scan and endoscopic report. They said skipping surgery could lead to chronic sinus issues. Are there any alternative treatments that could avoid surgery?

Advanced ENT-guided FESS is effective, but if unaffordable, try nasal steroids, sprays, and steam inhalation for relief.

I'm still dealing with a runny nose even 25 days after testing positive for COVID. I actually started having this runny nose about a week before my test, so it's been over a month now. Throughout this time, I haven't had any other symptomsjust the runny nose. My doctor suggested I take MontairLC, and I've been on it for five days, but there's been no change. Is a runny nose normal after having COVID, or is this something more serious? Could it be a fungal infection? What should I do next?

It's possible that your runny nose could be related to a post-COVID condition, or it might be a sign of another infection, such as a fungal infection. However, without further evaluation, it's difficult to determine the exact cause.
