I'm really worried because for almost two years now, it feels like a lot of mucus is just building up in my mouth and throat, and it's like I constantly have to clear my throat. But lately, the past month or so, I've been feeling this burning sensation down my throat, especially when I breathe, and it's super bothersome. My throat and chest also feel really congested. I haven't had a fever, but it's been going on for so long now. What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with this really unpleasant smell coming from my throat for the past six years. It's not constant, but I notice this bad smell sometimes moving from my throat to my nose. I'm feeling worried about what might be causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I might be able to fix it?

The bad smell youre experiencing could be related to a variety of conditions, including sinus issues, tonsil problems, or oral health concerns. Improving your oral hygiene, staying hydrated, and addressing potential underlying conditions like post-nasal drip or GERD may help alleviate the issue. If it persists or worsens, a visit to an ENT specialist or dentist is a good next step to pinpoint the exact cause and determine the best course of treatment.

I'm really struggling with a chronic dry cough that's been bothering me for 23 years now. I have these intense coughing fits and throat irritation at least 10 times a day, and it's really getting to me mentally and even makes my muscles hurt. I don't smoke or drink and my chest X-ray was all clear. They've found DNS and sinusitis through a nasal endoscopy, and I can't help but wonder if they're causing the chronic cough. I've tried meds for GERD and allergies, and while cough medicine helps a bit, the cough always comes back just as strong. Could you please share some insights because I'm really at a loss here?

take treatment for sinusitis, reduce the infection.

Tonsil surgery (tonsillectomy) in a 7-year-old is generally considered safe, but it's important to discuss any concerns with your child's doctor. While the procedure is common and has a good safety record, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of, including ear pain and headaches after surgery.
