Running nose and sneezing

I am troubled by a runny nose and sneezing. I don’t have any other problem. This issue has been happening for the past one month. When I take medicine, it gets better, but then it comes back again. This keeps happening again and again. I have taken a lot of medicine already, including about 40 tablets of Bilastine, but it is not getting cured permanently. The problem mostly happens in the morning and evening. Please help me. I don’t have much money, so kindly recommend an affordable medicine or solution.

Health anxiety

Hello Doctor, I would like to consult you regarding a throat issue that has been troubling me. I have been a smoker for the past 6 years. In 2023, I noticed small lumps on my palatopharyngeal arch and consulted an ENT specialist. I was prescribed medications, including Sporlac powder, and was told it was due to irritation. After that, I had a habit of consuming alcohol daily and frequently eating spicy and oily foods, and I used to lie down immediately after meals. I have stopped alcohol since mid-2025, but I am still unable to quit smoking. Currently, I continue to notice the lumps along with throat irritation, which is causing me significant anxiety. I am worried whether this condition is serious or could develop into cancer, and it is affecting my concentration at work. I would like your guidance on whether this is due to chronic irritation or something serious, if there is any risk of cancer. Have u treated similar cases and I need elaborate answers only. Please help me 93xxxxxx09

Throat hurting frequently

My thought hurts when I drink cold stuff or eat sweets like laddu, jam or grapes. I have been avoiding these things but due to hot weather, I need to drink cold water or juice. Similarly, due to sweet cravings, I eat sweets sometimes. What can I do? I just finished a course of Azithral 5 tablets. Still throat is hurting as if some sharp object is there. Kindly advise.
