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 allI'm experiencing something strange with my nose. There's this yellow runny liquid coming out, and it kind of looks like urine but it isn't the usual nasal discharge. I've just recently gotten over a cold about 23 days ago, so I'm not sure if it's related. It feels similar to when you have a nosebleed but without any blood. It's been happening for about a day now, just in small drips. I'm really confused and would appreciate some advice on what might be going on. Any thoughts?
You may be experiencing a condition called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, where there is a leakage of clear fluid from the nose. This can sometimes be mistaken for urine due to its color and consistency. CSF rhinorrhea can occur after a head injury or surgery, but in some cases, it can also happen spontaneously. In your case, since you mentioned having a cold recently, it is possible that the increased pressure from coughing or sneezing during the cold may have caused a small tear in the tissue surrounding your brain and spinal cord, leading to the leakage of clear fluid. I recommend you see a doctor as soon as possible for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, it is important to avoid blowing your nose forcefully and to keep your head elevated to potentially reduce the leakage.

I'm really concerned because I had tympanoplasty surgery 20 days ago, and my doctor has strictly advised me not to cough for 2 months. It's really hard to avoid coughing completely. I've been trying everythinglike taking steam, drinking turmeric water or milk, gargling with salt water, only drinking hot water, and staying away from cold foods. But I'm still coughing a bit and it's stressing me out. Is there anything else I can try to help with this?
Persistent throat pain and hiccups can be concerning. Consider: *Immediate Action* 1. *Revisit your doctor*: Inform your new ENT doctor about the hiccups and discuss possible connections to the medication. 2. *Adjust medication*: Your doctor may prescribe alternative medications or adjust the dosage to alleviate hiccups. *Hiccup Relief* 1. *Breathe deeply*: Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then exhale slowly. 2. *Gargle*: Gargle with water to stimulate your vagus nerve. 3. *Apply pressure*: Press your fingers into your diaphragm to help stop hiccups. *Monitoring* 1. *Track hiccups*: Record frequency, duration, and any potential triggers. 2. *Seek immediate attention*: If you experience difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, or persistent hiccups lasting more than 3 hours.
