I'm dealing with this annoying dryness in my throat and mouth every early morning around 4 or 5 am since November. I saw a doctor and had my blood sugar tested through a urine testit was normal. The meds helped for a week, but then the dryness came back. Also, I have this long-term nasal blockage since 2011 after a viral fever. I cant smell much unless my nasal passage clears up or during a cold. Plus, I catch a cold every month or two. I'm confused about who to see for this issue because online it seems like these symptoms could be throat infection, prediabetes, or sinus problems. Could you guide me on which specialist to consult and the right treatment to pursue?

View allHow can I improve my eardrum condition after surgery? I'm worried about the recovery process and what steps I should take to make sure it heals properly. Are there specific things I should avoid or any treatments that could help speed up the healing?
Keep your ear dry and avoid swimming, showering, and submerging your head in water for at least two weeks after your procedure. Use ear drops or ointment as directed by your doctor. Avoid activities that may cause trauma to your ears, such as playing flying in airplane, loud music, swimming without cap etc.

I've been experiencing this persistent pain in my throat for two days now. It hurts when I swallow saliva, eat, or even drink water. I'm really not sure what's causing it or how to make it go away. Could you give me some advice on how I might be able to ease this pain?
You may be experiencing a throat infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help reduce the pain and inflammation. Additionally, lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol can help numb the throat and provide relief. Gargling with warm salt water multiple times a day can also help soothe the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I had my earwax removed by an ENT and they used a sharp tool. After that, they inserted this pipe-like instrument, and it made this really loud noise in my ear. It's been about 25 days now, and there's still some pain in my ear, but it's not super severe. I'm just concerned that maybe this pipe thing hurt my eardrum. So, if the pipe did hit my eardrum, would there have been immediate, intense pain? And what are the signs of having a hole in your eardrum?
That could be vacuum which you are saying about,do not worry it causes no damage,the pain that younare saying could be negligible forget about it,if it's becoming worse visit your doctor for evaluation.
