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 really struggling with a chronic dry cough that's been bothering me for 23 years now. I have these intense coughing fits and throat irritation at least 10 times a day, and it's really getting to me mentally and even makes my muscles hurt. I don't smoke or drink and my chest X-ray was all clear. They've found DNS and sinusitis through a nasal endoscopy, and I can't help but wonder if they're causing the chronic cough. I've tried meds for GERD and allergies, and while cough medicine helps a bit, the cough always comes back just as strong. Could you please share some insights because I'm really at a loss here?
take treatment for sinusitis, reduce the infection.

I've been dealing with a throat infection for like 45 days now, and I had shivering on that very first day. Ever since then, I've had a 102 fever constantly. I've tried medications like Combiflam and Ronemox 500. The fever's finally calming down, but my throat is still really bothering me, especially when I swallow anything. It's pretty painful. Any idea what's going on or what else I can do?

I've noticed a lump in front of my left tragus, and it's painless even when I touch or press it. It also seems to be mobile. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or if there's any specific way I should manage it. Could it be something serious or is it likely harmless?
This lump could be a benign condition such as a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma. It is important to monitor the lump for any changes in size, shape, or symptoms. If the lump causes any discomfort or grows in size, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In case of infection or inflammation, antibiotics may be prescribed. If necessary, the lump can be surgically removed.
