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've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat lately. It's kind of uncomfortable and sometimes there's soreness and pain in both my throat and neck. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of throat irritation or inflammation. To help alleviate the discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain relief. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges like Strepsils to soothe your throat. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old son. He recently had a BERA test, and the results showed normal waves in his right ear but absent waves in the left. What could this possibly mean? I'm scheduled to see his doctor next week, but the waiting is stressing me out and I'd love to get a second opinion in the meantime. Can you shed some light on this?
Bera test is used for hearing examination can determine the type of abnormality (conductive or sensorineural), severity (hearing threshold), and hearing loss (inner ear or other parts) of the child. and absence of waves can indicate neurological issues in the hearing pathway

I'm experiencing a bit of hoarseness in my voice that I'm thinking might be from all the shouting I did recently. There's some swelling in my voice box, and I'm wondering if I should consider getting an endoscopy on my throat. What do you think? Is it necessary, or could it be something that'll just go away on its own?
it can be due to vocal nodules you can diagnose it by laryngoscopy
