I've had this tiny white spot at the back of my right tonsil for about 10 days now. I first went to a general doctor who said it was a bacterial infection and gave me an antibiotic, Poxivio 200, but it didnt help. So, I saw an ENT specialist. He said its just food debris and removed a small part of it, but it hasn't all gone away. He mentioned not removing all of it to avoid blood loss and just told me to do warm gargles and take Zadonase tablets. Should I be worried about this spot hanging around?

It sounds like the white spot at the back of your right tonsil is likely due to food debris, as mentioned by the ENT specialist. The tablet Zadonase prescribed by the ENT specialist can help with any inflammation or infection in the area. Additionally, warm gargles can help alleviate any discomfort and promote healing. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment and continue with the warm gargles as advised. If the white spot does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it would be best to follow up with the ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I have small nasal polyps and want to avoid surgery are there any medicines that can help shrink them or manage the symptoms? I'm really worried about going under the knife and would prefer other options if possible
Yes, several medications can help shrink nasal polyps and manage symptoms, making surgery less likely or even unnecessary. Nasal corticosteroids, such as fluticasone, are often the first-line treatment to reduce inflammation and shrink polyps. In some cases, oral corticosteroids like prednisone, or biologic medications like dupilumab, may be used, especially for larger or more stubborn polyps. WebMD also mentions that combining topical and oral steroids can be more effective than topical steroids alone.

I recently started taking Mucolite SR for the sticky mucus at the back of my nose. I'm unsure whether it's better to take it in the morning before food or in the evening. Could you advise on the best time to take it? I'm really eager to know what would work best for my situation.
It can be taken at any time of the day as it is a sustained release and a long acting drug, take it your convince and stick to the same routine. You may notice increased secretions while taking mucolite to minimise it try taking Levo cetrizine before sleep to avoid irritation.
