I've had a preauricular sinus infection for years and even had surgery 15 years ago, but it's come back. I've been dealing with this for so long is there any way to finally get rid of it for good?

Yes, it's possible to potentially eliminate a preauricular sinus infection permanently, even after previous surgery, but it may require further surgical intervention and a thorough approach. The key is to ensure complete removal of the sinus tract and any associated cartilage or tissue remnants, as incomplete removal is a major factor in recurrence.

View allI'm having some trouble with my breathing that's been going on for about a year now. Around this time last year, I started noticing a bit of a problem with my breath, like my nose isn't always open properly. Sometimes I have to breathe through my mouth, and it feels like there's some sort of blockage in my nose. It got better after a few weeks, but now I'm experiencing the same issues again. It gets harder to breathe whenever I try to sleep, and I've even started feeling some chest pain. What could be causing this?

I'm really struggling with a post-nasal drip that's been giving me a sore throat for the last few days. It's making it so hard to sleep because of the pressure in my ear. I've tried stuff like Strepsils and gargling with salt water, which helps a bit but doesn't last. I've also been taking 5ml of Ambroxol Hydrochloride at night and added Ascoril LS as well as Maxtra P over the last couple of days since I thought maybe that's what's causing the sore throat. I don't have a runny nose, but I'm living in a place that gets dusty even with window filters. I'm a bit allergic too... Could all this dust and stuff be part of the problem? What else can I try for some more long-term relief?
You seem to be experiencing symptoms of post nasal drip with a sore throat, difficulty sleeping, and ear pressure. Since you have already tried some home remedies and medications, I would recommend the following treatment plan for you: 1. Continue with Ambroxol Hydrochloride 5ml once every night before sleep to help with mucus clearance. 2. Continue with Ascoril LS+ 5ml to help with cough and congestion. 3. Switch from Maxtra P to Levocetirizine 5mg once daily to help with allergies and post nasal drip. 4. Additionally, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help clear out your nasal passages. 5. It's also important to address the dust in your living environment by regularly cleaning and dusting to reduce allergen exposure. 6. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms.

I've found a small lump on the right side of my neck, about the size of a pea. Should I be worried about this? What could it possibly be?
