When I use Duonase nasal spray, I notice it ends up in my throat after a while. Should I be swallowing it or is it better to spit it out?

If Duonase nasal spray drips into your throat after use, it is generally safe to swallow. However, if you find the taste unpleasant or if it's causing irritation, you can spit it out. Just ensure you follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

My nose has been crooked since birth it tilts to the left and doesn't look great, though it doesn't cause any breathing issues. I'd like to fix it but want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any non-surgical treatments that could help straighten it?

septoplasty is advised.

I've got a really odd situation going on. I threw up a cheeseburger and fries, and it was so intense that somehow it came out of my nose and even my ears. I'm confused and a bit worriedhow could this happen? I was literally cleaning bits of food out of my ears with cotton swabs and alcohol. Now, it's been about 72 hours, and while I've managed to get most of it out of my nose, it still feels like there's something stuck in my ear canals. Is this something I should be really worried about, and is there anything else I can do to clear it out?

That's impossible that food coming out of ears, your ear might have got blocked, practice valsalva for relief,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 63. He's having this problem where there's a strong smell, like mucous, when he breathes out, both from his mouth and nose. He's never been into drinking alcohol or smoking, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand what's causing this and maybe recommend a good mouthwash or something that might help with his breathing?
