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'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 a bit concerned because I've noticed this tiny round lump on the bottom right side of my neck. It's not painful at all, which seems odd to me, but I'm just worried since it showed up suddenly and only on one side. Should I be worried about this? What might it be?

I've had a voice disorder since birth due to a cleft palate, and my speech isn't clear nobody understands me. I've tried speech therapy multiple times but nothing changed. Could there be an underlying vocal issue surgery might fix? I don't want more therapy if it hasn't helped before. What options do I have to improve my voice clarity?
