I've been waking up with my right ear feeling blocked and kinda wet for the past three days. There's this ringing sound in that ear that sticks around all day, which is really starting to bug me. Could you help me figure out what's going on with it?

For dry sinusitis, consider:

Nasal moisturizers: Nasogel, Rhinocort Aqua, or Simply Saline

Humidifiers to add moisture to the air

Increase saline spray usage to 3-4 times a day

For swelling and congestion:

Consult an ENT specialist for a proper examination

Consider prescription medications like nasal corticosteroids

Otrivin can be used as needed, but follow usage guidelines

Maintain good nasal hygiene and consult your doctor for personalized guidance.

I've been dealing with pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear since 2013, and it all started when I had my right wisdom tooth removed. I also suffer from TMJ. The doctor mentioned I should get an MRI to check for any tumors, but nothing was found. I'm wondering, do I really need to keep getting MRIs over and over again? I'm just a bit concerned and looking for some advice.

I've noticed that my tonsils have been really swollen for a while now, ever since I had a whooping cough. The doctor mentioned they were large and red, but I didn't really feel any discomfort like pain or issues with swallowing. Lately, my friends told me I've been snoring, and Im starting to wonder if it's linked to my tonsils. I quit smoking completely, and while my cough went away, the swelling in my tonsils hasnt. Theyre so big that theres only a small gap between them. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will eventually go back to normal?

As you say your tonsils look swollen with no symptoms.without any further delay visit ENT docotor for rvaluating other conditions and appropriate approach.

I've been having this weird issue where there's mucus in my throat at night while I'm trying to sleep. It makes me feel like I need to spit it out constantly, but there's no actual coughing happening. Any idea what could help with this?
