I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?

Considering your symptoms:

Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene. Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps. Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air.

Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult:

A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver. An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue. A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.

I'm feeling really worried because for the past couple of days, I've been dealing with a dry nose and now it feels super itchy. I don't have a cold or any other symptoms like a headache or fever, but I'm breastfeeding my baby and I'm concerned if these could be symptoms of a virus. Can you give me some advice on what this might be and what I should do? I'd really appreciate your help!

Hey, 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.
