For the past month, I've been noticing a salty thin liquid on the right side of my throat. When I spit it out, it's clear and thin but doesn't look like regular sputum. I keep swallowing or spitting to clear my throat, but it's only happening on the right side. I had ear surgeries and tonsils removed as a kid could this be related or is it something normal?

View allI've been having this pain right on the side of my Adam's apple, and it's pretty tender when I press on it from the outside. It really hurts when I swallow, but it's not like a regular sore throat 'cause it doesn't hurt at the back of my throat. It's more at the front, and if I tense up like before sneezing or when yawning, it hurts even more. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
You may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the area around your Adam's apple. This could be due to a condition called thyroiditis. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Additionally, you can try using a warm compress on the area to help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having this really annoying throat irritation and my allergy AEC levels are over 700, which I'm guessing isn't great. What can I do to bring it down to normal? Are there specific foods I should be avoiding or maybe some that could help?
to help lower your AEC and reduce allergy symptoms, you should focus on managing your allergies through medications and avoiding triggers, while also incorporating an anti-inflammatory diet. Avoid foods that are high in histamine or common allergens, and try to focus on foods that support immune health and reduce inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, its always best to consult with an allergist or immunologist who can guide you through proper treatment options and help with any necessary allergy tests.

I have a deviated nasal septum and I'm really hesitant about surgery. I've seen multiple ENTs who all recommend surgery, but I'm wondering if Ayurveda can actually fix this or if it's just a temporary relief. Has anyone had success treating it without surgery?
septoplasty is advised.
