I've been using Nasivion nasal drops for the past 10 years and can't seem to stop even after consulting doctors. One doctor suggested switching to Alligra M and saline drops while reducing the amount, but it's been really tough for me. Is there any surgery or alternative treatment that could help with this dependency?

Long-term use of nasal drops can cause rebound congestion. A gradual taper using saline sprays and antihistamines may help; surgery (like turbinate reduction) is an option if conservative measures fail.

View allI've been experiencing some strange sensations in my ear, like occasional sounds and this feeling like something's stuck inside. It's really unsettling, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Could you shed some light on what might be happening?
Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions. Explore sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relaxation techniques to manage symptoms. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) can help your brain habituate to tinnitus. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding loud noises and managing stress, can also help. While there's no cure, these strategies can alleviate symptoms.

I've been having nose problems for the past couple of months. I've tried homeopathic medicine and septillin, but nothing seems to be working. It's really hard to breathe because my nose gets blocked, and there's this thick yellow discharge. What could be going on, and what should I do to get some relief?
Based on your symptoms of difficulty in breathing, blocked nose, and yellow thick discharge, it seems like you may be suffering from a sinus infection. I recommend you try taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin (500mg, three times a day) along with a decongestant like Sudafed (30mg, every 4-6 hours) to help relieve your symptoms. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray regularly can also help with nasal congestion. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Ive been dealing with this persistent dry cough for years, and I just found out it might be because of an elongated uvula. It keeps tickling and triggering these coughing fits. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do about it or if theres a way to get some relief?
It can be due to Allergy. Surgery is needed if it is very much enlongated.
