Are nasal sprays safe for those who smoke?
If you have nasal congestion and you are a smoker the first thing you must do is to stop smoking. Smoke irritates your nasal mucosas, stops the ciliary movement and increases the secretions present in the sinuses and nasopharynx. Nasal spray that are vasoconstrictors like most of the over the counter ones could relief the congestion but if used for more than 3 days will create a dependency and make the congestion worst. Nasal steroids sprays will not create addiction or dependency. The use of saline solution irrigation prior the use of the nasal steroids is very useful. If after one week of treatment with little or no relief a visit to the Otolaryngologist for a full ENT examination should be scheduled in order to find possible causes like nasal polyps, allergies, tumors infection or structural problems among others READ MORE
What could be the cause of sore throat and tongue?
There are many causes for a sore throat: if you have a flu-like syndrome, it could be part of it, however, a bacterial infection could occur on top of your flu and could end in a tonsillar abscess.

Your best bet is to see your physician and have him look at your throat and have a culture done to rule out any possible bacterial or viral infection and order appropriated treatment. READ MORE
