Turbinoplasty doesn’t significantly alter nose width;surgeons preserve nasal structure and swelling subsides in weeks–months to maintain a natural shape.

I'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?

Take anti-allergic tab and steroid nasal spray for 3weeks...it seems it's due to post nasal drip...

I'm getting a bit concerned because my mom has been snoring really loudly for the past six months, and the sounds are, well, kind of unusual. Could this be a sign of thyroid issues, or might it be something else altogether?
