My nose has been blocked for 3 years and it's really affecting my breathing. I can't take deep breaths properly and it's been like this for so long. How much does nose surgery cost and how many days will I need to stay in the hospital?

View allI've been dealing with this fever, cough, and cold situation, and while I've started taking meds, my sore throat just won't go away. I had some cucumber and tomato raita last night, and I'm worried if they might be making my throat worse. Could those foods be affecting my recovery?
Eating cucumber and dahi (yogurt) is unlikely to cause or worsen a sore throat; in fact, yogurt has anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe a sore throat; however, the acidity in tomatoes might slightly irritate the throat, but this is usually temporary and mild; it's more likely that your sore throat persists due to the underlying viral or bacterial infection, and it may take some time to fully recover, so continue with your medicatio

I'm having some issues with my voice. Sometimes, people can't hear me well, and other times it sounds like my voice splits into two different tonesone thin and one thick. It's been quite confusing, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing voice changes. This could be due to various reasons such as vocal strain, throat infections, or other underlying medical conditions. To help improve your voice quality, you can try using lozenges like Strepsils for soothing the throat and reducing inflammation. Additionally, you can use steam inhalation with menthol (such as Vicks) to help with any congestion or irritation in the throat. If the issue persists, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've got a bit of a situation here. I tried eating a bunch of French fries at once, and I think the sharp edges scratched my throat. Now I've got these little red patches on my throat wall, and it hurts when I swallow. Do you think this will just heal on its own, or should I be taking something for it?
To help with the pain and inflammation, you can try using a throat anesthetic spray to numb the area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) to reduce the pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water can also help soothe the throat. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
