I've had a sore throat for a couple of weeks now and just noticed a hole at the back near my tonsils. I've been smoking for about two years. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I'm dealing with chronic allergic rhino sinusitis and have a deviated nasal septum with enlarged turbinates. I recently heard about something called ENS, which can happen after turbinate reduction surgery. Is it safe to go ahead and get my deviated septum fixed along with FESS without doing anything to the turbinates, or is there a risk I should be aware of?

Thats Urticaria,identify the allergen and avoid it,also visit dermatologist for appropriate management

I've been feeling like something's crawling in my ear for about a week now, but theres nothing actually there. I haven't been in a place where this could happen. It all kicked off when I had a cold and a runny nose. When I was clearing my nose, I felt pressure releasing from my ear too, which Ive never experienced before. Since then, my ear's just felt weird. Sometimes at night, I wake up because it feels like something's moving in my ear. It's happened a couple of times. Could this be something to worry about?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
