I've just seen an ENT specialist who said everything is fine and there's nothing to worry about, but I can't help feeling anxious. Should I be concerned about anything, or is it really nothing to worry about?

View allI had COVID last year and for the past six months, I've been dealing with constant nasal blockage because my turbinates are swollen, as confirmed by my ENT. I've tried all the medications the doctor suggested, but nothing has worked. Right now, I'm just using saline drops to manage the blockage. Is surgery the only option left for swollen turbinates, or could allergy shots help? Also, does turbinate surgery increase the risk of empty nose syndrome?
Swollen turbinates causing nasal blockage can be treated with medications like nasal sprays and antihistamines, and allergy shots may also be helpful, but surgery is sometimes necessary. Turbinate surgery carries a risk of "empty nose syndrome" (ENS), especially if too much tissue is removed

I've been feeling this needle-like sensation in my throat for the past couple of days and it's really bothering me. Its not where my tonsils usually are, so I dont think its that. It gets worse when I'm lying down. Any ideas on what it could be or how to make it better?
That could be mucosal congestion,consume warm foods and take warm water u will feel better,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
