I've had a sinus infection since I was 16, and I've tried so many antibiotics like Cefixime, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin, and Azithromycin, but none of them are working for me anymore. I'm really stuck and unsure of what to try next. Is there any other treatment I could consider?

I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and cold last week and, thankfully, that's all cleared up. But now I'm dealing with this really unpleasant musty smell coming from my nose. It's really bothering me, and I just want it to go away as soon as possible. Can you suggest what might be causing this and how I can get rid of it?

Rinse your nose with normal saline,take cetrizine tablet for 3 days, maintain hygiene,if it's still there, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've had a retention cyst on my true vocal cord that keeps coming back even after two MLS micro laryngeal surgeries one in Hyderabad in 2006 and another at Kims Trivendrum. The cyst isn't malignant but keeps filling up with a grapefruit-like mass, making it hard to speak properly. What could be the root cause, and is there a permanent solution to stop it from recurring?

Only treatment of vocal cords cyst is surgery. Cause of recurrence can be found in biopsy report of the cyst which could be incomplete removal of cyst wall or other underlying disease.

I've been feeling this bruising pain under my chin for a couple of days and now there's a lump there that's hard and doesn't move. It feels like it's attached to my chin bone and is around 15 cm long. I'm also experiencing some pain under my left ear, but I haven't noticed any lump there. Should I be concerned about this? What could it possibly be?
