Really? i live next to Lanna hospital like literally next to it, but heard bad reviews from both friends and Google... do you happen to know her name?

Especially nose and ear. I've been to RAM hospital and Rajvithi Clinic in old town already, but looking for alternate options. If you know of doctor that takes his time with the patient and listens to his issues and doesn't just prescribe over the counter antibiotics, that's a plus. Thank you !

Thank you for the very helpful post. This article is great. I don't have any idea about antifungal medicine tho. I'll have a look

The issue is located on the right eye only and yes it ache, although not terribly bad. Some drops do the trick. But its a constant nuisance. I have no idea how to know how is my blood pressure honestly... but i do look at the computer for hours (because of my work), and it sure doesn't help.

it sounds fancy but it took my exactly 3 minutes

I have no idea if it's allowed or not... i guess let's try?

Thank you for the detailed post. You seem quite knowledgeable. I will try to give you the details. I went to the Ram hospital a first time to see the eye doctor. After running tests, the doctor said that i had no glaucoma, and then advised me to see the throat doctor because she noticed i had a slight swelling and redness on the right cheek. The visit at the throat doctor was very quick, no endoscopy, he told me that i could get a CT scan if i wanted to. Unfortunately, my insurance at that time didn't cover the cost of it and since it was pretty expensive, I passed it on... I then looked for another ENT doctor, and got recommended a small clinic. When i went to that doctor, at that point, i had mainly ear problems, not sinus problems yet, or very mild. He prescribed me Roxithromycin 150mg and a nose spray, Rhinocort (Budesonide). After that initial treatment, it was better, but the issues came back rather quickly. I then went for a second visit at that same doctor, more or less 1 month after the first one, and that time he suggested that my issue might be nose-related. I indeed noticed that might right nostril was clogged pretty much all the time but didn't worry much about it, as i experience regular allergies since i'm a kid, so i thought it would just go away as usual with antihistamine (which i take everyday ) But anyway, that time he did endoscopy. Which one, i'm not really sure so i don't want to take a guess, but i think it was a metal tube one. He said i had no tumor or anything related but saw an inflammation. He looked in both my nostrils and told me i had a slightly deviated septum in my left nostril, but my issue is only the right nostril. He also said i might have an inflated membrane (for a lack of better word since i'm not a specialist) deeper in my right nostril which may cause the issue. He prescribed me the same treatment as before, but this time i took the 300mg antibiotic. I then went for a 3rd follow-up visit at that same doctor, but he couldn't really tell me more than what he already told me. Upon my request he did an endoscopy again and saw that yes, i had some inflammation in the nose and ear. He said 'oh yes that disease can come and go' and mentioned doing surgery which I honestly don't think it would solve the problem and i don't wanna go down that route.... My ear problems went away, but my nostril problems intensified accompanied by a frontal mild pain, which varies from day to day. I then begin to look for alternate solutions, like inhalations and sprays. Upon reading this forum, people were advising against those 'Thai' sprays found in pharmacies and mentioned Flixonase or Beconase (which i use to take back in Belgium when i was younger). But apparently, you cannot find them in Thailand. Now, i don't use any sprays as i don't want to depend on them and create further complications. I also saw some people mentioning Ephedra, which is a Chinese medicine, apparently. You mention biofilms, but i'm not sure what are they?

Do you have names or advice for the best quality - price related ones i can find? I know Lazada is loaded with cheap crap...

Thank you, useful post. So that's what i was thinking: why would i want a humidifier to humidify the air which then makes mold thrive? Like you mention, i'd better need a dehumidifier. Or are they the same thing/object? I might be confused lol. I do experience mold in my condo, although the place has been completely renovated one year ago. Btw, i was also chocked when i took a look at my AC.

I use Unblock Origin and it works like a charm...for now. I had to disable my other adblockers tho. And enter a few 'code' lines in the filter options.

Would you care to expand on that?

Now that the weather gets colder over here, the AC is only on during the evening and night. I was thinking it was part of the issue so i got it cleaned recently. Also, what is the difference between a humidifier and an air purifier, and why one rather than the other?

Solid advice. Yes i come from Belgium. I have my mom coming at the end of the month, it might be a chance to ask her for homeopathic then.

I did it already. I went to the eye doctor at RAM hospital and she said i don't have glaucoma. But i do take your advice into consideration

Basically title. I've always had allergies to many things, but since I been living in Thailand, i never experienced a blocked nostril like i do now. I've been through several treatments, been to several doctors, did endoscopies, all of them ended up prescribing me antibiotics that i could find over the counter anyway, as well as sh*t nose sprays found in pharmacies. The treatments were not completely useless, but they certainly not been sufficient, since i still experience the same symptoms as i did a few months back. What seems to relieve the pain and the blockage is eucalyptus oil inhalations in hot water. I do practice sinus washing as well with sterile water, although not hot. What bothers me the most is that i don't seem to find the cause of it. Some days i won't have anything and the next day boom, right nostril blocked and moderate headaches. Sometimes i'm thinking air quality, sometimes i'm thinking humidity, or bacterial infection, hell i'm even thinking food ! So I know that coming on the internet for medical advice is not clever, but at this point i don't even know where to go or who to consult, not to mention i saw a bunch of doctors already (ORL who were supposedly very good but ended up misdiagnosed me...) I guess what i'm looking for would be advice and experience from people who had the same thing or something similar, and what treatments worked for them. If you have a GOOD address, it is more than welcome. If you know of an efficient nose spray that is not crap, it is more than welcome as well. Btw, i live in Chiang Mai. Thank you !
