Septoplasty/turbinoplasty help breathing if done well; risks are minimal—some cases improve with meds alone.

I've been prescribed a 6-day course of Ebast DC for my allergies and breathing issues, and it seems to be helping. Can I safely continue using this medication every day for a year if it's making a difference? Not considering any other factors.

I've been feeling kind of strange since yesterday. My mouth has this metallic taste, and my throat is sore and really hurts. What do you think it could be?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a viral infection or possibly a bacterial infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the sore throat and pain. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges or gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been told I have nasal polyps in my right nostril. I went to an ENT and they said I needed a CT scan, which I did. After reviewing the scan, the doc said I should have surgery right away and didn't even suggest any medication first. It feels a bit suspicious to me. From what I've found online, these polyps seem pretty common. I'm just wondering if there are medicines or home remedies I could try before jumping into surgery. What do you think?

No surgical excision is the treatment of choice for nasal polyps,trust your doctor and follow their advice.
