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.

View allHey, I've noticed that when my husband sneezes, there's this really bad smell. It's pretty concerning. He also has bad breath every now and then. What could be causing this? I'm a bit worried.
If this is his only symptom, then it could suggest a sinus infection. If the smell is perceived by everyone, but not your husband himself, it coulf be suggestive of atrophic rhinitis. In either case, it is recommendable to get an ENT specialist's opinion.

My husband's 28 and he's been dealing with a sore throat and pain for a few days now, but he's not running a fever. Yesterday morning there was blood in his sputum, and it happened again today. Could you please give us some advice on what this might be about? We're a bit concerned.
Severe pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx) causes severe irritation in the throat, which results in violent bouts of cough. This cough can sometimes cause rupture of some small blood vessels, which results in small amounts of blood being expectorated with sputum. It is no cause for concern, but if the bleeding persists and increases in quantity, a physician consult is necessary.

I've been dealing with this ear-blocking issue for the past few days. Every time I pull my ear down, I hear a sound like a "tup," and it seems like the blockage clears up, but then it just gets blocked again a few seconds later. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.
