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'm really concerned because I had tympanoplasty surgery 20 days ago, and my doctor has strictly advised me not to cough for 2 months. It's really hard to avoid coughing completely. I've been trying everythinglike taking steam, drinking turmeric water or milk, gargling with salt water, only drinking hot water, and staying away from cold foods. But I'm still coughing a bit and it's stressing me out. Is there anything else I can try to help with this?
Persistent throat pain and hiccups can be concerning. Consider: *Immediate Action* 1. *Revisit your doctor*: Inform your new ENT doctor about the hiccups and discuss possible connections to the medication. 2. *Adjust medication*: Your doctor may prescribe alternative medications or adjust the dosage to alleviate hiccups. *Hiccup Relief* 1. *Breathe deeply*: Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then exhale slowly. 2. *Gargle*: Gargle with water to stimulate your vagus nerve. 3. *Apply pressure*: Press your fingers into your diaphragm to help stop hiccups. *Monitoring* 1. *Track hiccups*: Record frequency, duration, and any potential triggers. 2. *Seek immediate attention*: If you experience difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, or persistent hiccups lasting more than 3 hours.

I'm an 18-year-old guy and my voice hasn't deepened yet. I talked to some doctors and they said I have puberphonia. What can I do to get a deeper, more manly voice soon? Any advice would be super helpful.
Puberphonia, also known as mutational falsetto, is a condition where a person continues to speak in a high-pitched voice beyond puberty. To help deepen your voice, you can try voice therapy exercises. Additionally, testosterone therapy may also be considered in some cases. One medication that may be prescribed to help with voice deepening is testosterone. Testosterone can be prescribed in the form of Androderm patches, with a typical starting dose of 2.5 mgday. However, the dosage may vary based on individual needs and should be determined by your healthcare provider. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your puberphonia.
