I've got a situation with an enlarged submandibular gland that showed up as 11cm on the ultrasound. It's strange because there's no pain or swelling when I eat. I've been on Amoxy-Clav and Tibrolin tablets for about 12 days now, but there hasn't been any change. What could be going on, and should I be worried about this lack of improvement?

I'm really struggling with my nasal spray habit. I've been using Otrivin for around 45 years now and every time I try to stop, my nose just gets so stuffy that I end up using it again. It's affecting my life a lot, and I can't seem to shake it off. Plus, there's this post-nasal drip that bothers me. What can I do to finally break free from this cycle? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?

Considering your symptoms: Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene. Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps. Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air. Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult: A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver. An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue. A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.
