Your symptoms of thick, yellowish discharge suggest significant inflammation, possibly due to chronic sinusitis or allergies. Deflazacort, which is a corticosteroid, works by powerfully reducing this severe swelling in your nasal passages, which is why it brings you relief. However, using oral steroids long-term is not recommended. I highly encourage you to consult an ear, nose, and throat specialist. They can pinpoint the exact cause and recommend safer, localized treatments like steroid nasal sprays or saline rinses to help you breathe easily and safely.

While COVID-19 can cause a very sore throat, his symptoms?extreme difficulty swallowing liquids, a sensation of something stuck, and pain radiating to his ear?could indicate a secondary bacterial infection or localized throat complication, like an abscess. Even though he is taking the antiviral Favicovid, the antibiotic Ceftum (cefuroxime), and Nise (nimesulide) for pain, his inability to swallow liquids is a concern. Please have an ENT specialist evaluate him promptly to safely examine his throat and ensure he receives the right care and relief.

Taking Nise (nimesulide) for just two days is very unlikely to cause your period to be late. Nimesulide is an anti-inflammatory painkiller, and while these medications can sometimes mildly affect ovulation, a short course rarely impacts your menstrual cycle. Often, the physical stress of the underlying pain or illness that prompted you to take the medication is the actual reason for the delay. Please try not to worry. If your period is delayed by more than a week, a quick home pregnancy test or a chat with your doctor can provide peace of mind.

Since it hasn't responded to nimesulide or stretching, the pain might stem from conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, a chronic ligament strain, or plantar fasciitis, which commonly causes pain upon waking. Sometimes, deep pressure can actually irritate these sensitive tissues further. I highly recommend seeing an orthopedic specialist. They can evaluate your ankle and may suggest an imaging study, like an ultrasound or MRI, to pinpoint the exact cause and guide you toward a safe, effective recovery plan.

A sudden, week-long headache can stem from several common causes, including tension, sinus inflammation, or even rebound headaches from daily use of pain relievers like nimesulide. Because this is a new symptom for you, it is very important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation. They will likely perform a physical and neurological exam to safely determine the cause. Please seek immediate medical attention if you experience any 'red flags' like vision changes, fever, or neck stiffness.

It is very common for COVID-19 to cause severe throat inflammation, which can make swallowing painful and cause referred pain in your brother's left ear. The feeling of something being stuck can happen due to intense swelling or if medications like cefuroxime (Ceftum) or nimesulide (Nise) slightly irritated his food pipe. Please reassure him that this is a recognized pattern. Taking his medications with plenty of water and sipping warm liquids can help. However, since swallowing liquids is extremely difficult, please consult his doctor promptly to ensure he stays hydrated and to see if his treatment needs adjusting.
