The inner openings of my nose that connect toward my throat are blocked or congested. Because of this, I am having headaches and pain or pressure in my nose, especially when I bend down. However, I can breathe normally through my nose, and my nose is not actually blocked. I’m wondering whether my headache and nasal pain could be caused by something else rather than nasal blockage.
Doctor, I have had a bumpy structure on both palatopharyngeal arches for the past few years, which I have marked in the attached photos. I am 25 years old and a smoker.About 3 years ago, I consulted an ENT specialist regarding this. The doctor examined me and said that it was due to inflammation and prescribed Sporlac. After taking the medicine, the bumpy structure disappeared. However, about three months later, it appeared again, initially on the left side.I have also had a habit of eating spicy and oily foods, late-night meals such as biryani, and consuming alcohol for the past two years. I have recently stopped drinking alcohol and have also reduced/avoided spicy and oily foods and late-night meals.I am concerned about whether these persistent/recurrent bumps could be related to cancer because I am a smoker. I frequently examine my throat using a mirror and my mobile phone torch, and this has been causing health anxiety. Could you please recommend appropriate treatment.

Chronic sinusitis is a common and often frustrating condition in which the sinuses, the air-filled spaces behind the cheeks, forehead, and around the nose, become inflamed and swollen for twelve weeks or longer.

Almost everyone snores occasionally, and on its own snoring is usually harmless. But loud, regular snoring can sometimes be a sign of a more serious condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Knowing the difference matters, because ...
Allergic rhinitis, often called nasal allergies or hay fever, is one of the most common conditions we see in ENT practice. It happens when your immune system overreacts to harmless particles in the air, treating them as a threat. While it is rarely dangerous, it can make daily life genuinely ...
