I've had really bad nasal congestion worse on the right side for 2 years now and my CT scan showed polypoidal mucosal thickening in all my sinuses plus a mild S shaped nasal deviation. My ENT put me on Montek 10 mg and Flutiflo nasal spray but I'm not getting much relief. Tried Ayurveda too with no luck. I'm diabetic, hypertensive and hypothyroid on meds - really don't want surgery but need something that'll actually work. What's the best medical treatment option for me?

Chronic sinus congestion with polyps and deviation responds to intranasal steroids,antihistamines,balloon sinuplasty,and possible biologic therapy before surgery.

I've been dealing with an irritation on the left side of my throat, and it even makes my ear itch. It's just a little uncomfortable, especially when I'm eating. I've been smoking for a while now, and this has been going on for about a month. I'm getting a bit worried about what's going on here. Any idea what's causing this and what I should do?

I've been having a rough time with my throat lately. About two weeks ago, I had strep throat and got antibiotics for it, but even after finishing them, this cough just won't quit. Now my throat's starting to hurt again, I'm coughing up this brown-yellow phlegm, and I'm running a fever with a headache. It's so bad that I almost cough until I want to throw up. I'm stuck wondering if you can get strep throat again so soon, or if maybe it's something else entirely. What do you think?
