Common nasal symptoms that may require attention include persistent nasal blockage, yellowish-green nasal discharge, nosebleeds, frequent sneezing, nasal itch, loss of sense of smell, facial pains, and blood-tinged phlegm.
Tonsillitis is a bacterial or viral infection of the tonsils—the two oval-shaped fleshy pads found at the back of your throat. Common symptoms include fever, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, and white patches on the tonsils. Frequent episodes of tonsillitis could indicate unhealthy and persistently infected tonsils.
Book AppointmentTonsil stones or tonsilliths are small hard lumps that form in the crypts and craters of the tonsils. They are caused by the accumulation of minerals, food, and bacteria. Tonsilliths can cause bad breath and foreign-body sensation; patients may occasionally cough or clear these littles stones out, but they frequently recur.
