I'm wondering about the benefits of gargling with either iodine salt in warm water or using a betadine solution. Which one do you think is more effective in terms of results, and why? I'm really curious about how they compare to each other.

I've been dealing with post nasal drips for a while and was using Nasivion S spray and Montair LC, but now my new doctor switched me to Metaspray nasal spray and Histrafree 120 tablets. After taking them this morning, I noticed swelling and a discoloration on the roof of my mouth. Should I stop taking these meds or keep going with what the doctor prescribed?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the new medications. The swelling and discoloration of the hard palate in your mouth could be a sign of an allergic response. I recommend stopping the Metaspray nasal spray and Tab Histrafree 120 immediately. Please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this watery discharge coming from my ear for the past day. It all began with really bad pain and a lot of pressure, but then after a while, the pain slightly eased up, and that's when the drainage started. Should I be worried about this?

I've been dealing with this issue where one side of my nose is always blocked because of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. My ENT says it's not a big deal and gave me decongestants, but I still get these bad headaches in my forehead, and my eye movement feels kind of restricted when it happens. I'm really curious about how these nose issues are connected to my headaches and what else I can do to make them go away. Could you help me understand this relationship a bit better and suggest some ways to get some relief?
