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?

I'm worried about my hearing because I was using a qtip and then my hearing got muffled. I thought I just pushed the wax in further so I didn't really think much of it at first. But now it's been 3 days and my hearing is still muffled. I went to the pharmacy and told the pharmacist about it, and he gave me Dewax to try. I put 3 drops in my ear before bed like he suggested, but after that, I completely stopped hearing from that ear. It's been a full day since I used the drops and I still can't hear. Is this normal or should I be concerned and see a doctor?
