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've been having this pain near my left ear, like right between my jaw and tragus. It happened a few months ago too but went away eventually. Now it's back, and it gets worse when I bite down on something. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and how to fix it?
That could be TM joint synovitis, visit Dentist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with a blocked nose for the past two weeks and got a CT scan done. I've attached the report do you think I might need surgery for this? What would you suggest based on the findings?
Without seeing the CT scan, it’s hard to determine if surgery is required. Often, nasal obstruction can be treated with medication or a procedure, but surgery is considered only if there's a structural issue like a deviated septum.
