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.

I've noticed this lump on the left side of my tongue, more on the ventral surface. It's not painful and you can't see it from the outside, but I can feel it when I squeeze my tongue with my teeth. I recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something serious? It's really uncomfortable, even though there's no pain. Should I be concerned about this?
