Ive been noticing this really unpleasant smell coming from my throat (not my mouth) for about 40 to 50 days now. It hangs around for a day or two, and it's happened three times so far. Im also dealing with a dry cough that pops up whenever I'm in air-conditioned places or when there's a lot of dust around, but it's not severe and doesn't last long. Plus, I get body aches once a week that last up to two to three days. Im kind of worried about what these symptoms might mean. Which type of doctor should I see to figure out whats going on?

View allI recently got into a fight and ended up being slapped really hard, like twice or thrice on the left side of my face, near my ear and cheek, and close to my eye area. Right after, I had some bleeding inside my mouth, probably from biting down with my teeth. The next morning, I noticed a ringing in my ear, but there wasn't any pain. I'm struggling to hear as well out of that ear compared to the other one. There's also some swelling on my face. I'm guessing my hearing is around 50 to 60 percent, but it's just a rough estimate. Should I be worried about this? What do you think is going on with my ear and hearing?
Visit ENT doctor and get audiometry done to rule out any hearing impairement.

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues plus a deviated nasal septum for 13 years, but lately at night either my left or right nostril gets blocked while the other stays clear - never both at the same time. Is surgery necessary if I'm still sleeping fine? With my wedding next month, I'm wondering if I should just live with this condition or get it fixed - what surgery would work best without side effects or the problem coming back?
While your nasal issues may not be severe enough to necessitate immediate surgery, particularly with your wedding coming up, consulting an ENT doctor is highly recommended to determine the best course of action for you. If your symptoms are minimally disruptive, conservative management might suffice. However, if the nasal blockage is causing significant issues like difficulty breathing, noisy breathing during sleep, or persistent congestion, surgery (septoplasty) might be necessary to straighten the deviated septum and address any turbinate issues.

I'm feeling really worried because my neck feels heavy and I've got a cold. It feels like something's stuck in my throat, and it's super uncomfortable. Could this be something serious, or is it just part of having a cold? What should I do about it?
it is normal
