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 allA little of my Azeflo nasal spray dripped down my throat, and I'm worried because I ended up swallowing some of it. The taste was terrible and it made me vomit. Is that something I need to worry about?
A little of Azeflo nasal spray dripping down your throat and swallowing a little should not cause harm. However, if you are experiencing vomiting and an awful taste, it is best to rinse your mouth and drink some water to help alleviate the taste. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I've been experiencing something strange in my throat where I can feel my uvula after waking up with a dry mouth. It's not painful, but it's really bothersome. I've never noticed my uvula like this before, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried?
It sounds like your uvula might be slightly swollen or dry, which can happen with a dry mouth. Try drinking water to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. If it continues to feel uncomfortable or bothersome, its a good idea to see a doctor to rule out any other causes.
