I'm feeling really worried because for the past couple of days, I've been dealing with a dry nose and now it feels super itchy. I don't have a cold or any other symptoms like a headache or fever, but I'm breastfeeding my baby and I'm concerned if these could be symptoms of a virus. Can you give me some advice on what this might be and what I should do? I'd really appreciate your help!

I've been experiencing this issue where my hearing keeps coming and going over the last couple of weeks. It's really odd because sometimes, especially when I'm eating, I feel like I can't hear anything at all, almost as if I'm completely deaf. Other times, things sound just fine. The problem seems to happen in intervals, and I'm honestly starting to get concerned about what's causing it. What could be going on with my ears?

You may be experiencing fluctuating hearing loss, which can have various causes. In your case, it could be related to a condition called Meniere's disease. To help manage the symptoms of Meniere's disease, you can take Betahistine (brand name Serc). Additionally, you may benefit from using a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) to reduce fluid retention in the inner ear. It is important to consult with an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and management plan.

Feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's super annoying and irritating. There's no pain, but I'm really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of this feeling?

It sounds like you may be experiencing globus pharyngeus, which is the sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat without any actual blockage. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try gargling with warm salt water, drinking plenty of fluids, and sucking on throat lozenges. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to reduce any acid reflux that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, you may consider using an over-the-counter mucolytic agent like Guaifenesin (e.g. Mucinex) to help thin out any mucus that could be causing the sensation.

I'm worried about my mom. She keeps feeling like there's something stuck in her throat. It's not painful, and there aren't any visible lumps that we can see, but she does get some phlegm in the morning. She's already tried anti-allergy and gastric medicines based on the doctor's advice, but nothing seems to work. What else could it be, and what can we do to help her feel better?
