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 have a stone in my salivary gland and I'm not sure what to do next will it go away with medication or do I need surgery to remove it? I'm a bit worried about what the best option is

You can try to remove a salivary gland stone by doing things to increase the amount of saliva in your mouth, such as: sucking on a lemon or lemon drops. drinking plenty of water. gently massaging around the stone.

After eating chicken about a year ago, I felt like a bone got stuck in my throat. I went to an ENT specialist and got an X-ray, which turned out normal. A few months ago, I felt that same stuck sensation in the same spot after eating something and ended up coughing and vomiting, which made me feel better. Today, I had food and felt the same thing again, same spot, and I coughed and vomited again, but this time, I noticed some bloody sputum, and I've had a cough for the last two days. Im wondering why its the same spot every time and if the blood could be related to this cough and cold. What do you think might be going on?

do endoscopy
