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 allCan you let me know how many hours of sleep are recommended if I'm taking Montek LC? I usually get around 7 to 8 hours, but I'm still feeling drowsy. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
7-8 hrs of sleep is enough but the tablet usually makes you feel drowsy for upto 10 hrs.

I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?
Considering your symptoms: Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene. Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps. Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air. Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult: A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver. An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue. A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.
