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?

View allOne side of my tonsil has an open pocket where food keeps getting stuck and forms yellowish tonsil stones. I have to remove them manually but there's no swelling. I don't want surgery are there any ayurvedic treatments to help close this pocket?
While Ayurvedic practices can help manage tonsil stones and associated symptoms, they generally don't address the underlying structure of the tonsils, including the "pocket" you describe. Addressing a specific structural issue like a tonsil pocket might require more specialized medical interventions, and Ayurveda is not a substitute for conventional medical care in such cases.

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues along with a deviated nasal septum for the past 13 years. I'm 22 now and experience nasal blockage at night sometimes in the right nostril, sometimes the left, but never both at once. My sleep is fine though. Should I consider surgery or just live with it? What type of surgery would you recommend, and will I be able to live normally afterward?

Im really worried because I seem to have lost my sense of smell completely. It's like I can't detect any scents at all and it feels like 100% of my smelling power is just gone. Could you please guide me on what treatment options are available for this?
Loss of smell, also known as anosmia, can have various causes such as sinus infections, nasal polyps, allergies, or even neurological conditions. One common treatment option for restoring smell is using nasal steroid sprays. You can try using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray can help with nasal congestion and improve smell sensation. It is important to consult with a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
