I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?

I've been dealing with this annoying nose issue ever since I got hit with a football a while back. My nose was bleeding at first, but that was just once and luckily the pain has gone away. But I've been stuck with this cold and a blocked nose, especially the left side, ever since. Ive been using Nosikind 0.1 but it only helps temporarily, and after around 6 to 7 hours, the blockage comes back. At the start, it was super bad, but now its a bit less intense. Still, I haven't seen any real improvement this past week. What should I do next? Any advice?

My son needs to get his tonsils removed and we're considering surgery. Can you tell me what types of tonsil surgeries are available and which one is less painful? Also, how long does recovery usually take after the procedure?
The two main types of tonsillectomy surgery are: Traditional tonsillectomy: Both tonsils are completely removed. Intracapsular tonsillectomy: The surgeon removes all the affected tonsil tissue, but leaves a small layer to protect the throat muscles underneath.
