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 feeling under the weather with this throat pain. It's been tough dealing with a dry throat and I'm also having this fever that's got me shivering quite a bit. What's strange is that there's no cough along with these symptoms. Can you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what I should do? I'm just not sure how to handle this.
Throat pain, cold, fever, and chills with dry throat but no cough can be symptoms of a viral infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take acetaminophen for fever and pain relief. Additionally, you can try lozenges like Strepsils for throat pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I've been dealing with this fever, cough, and cold situation, and while I've started taking meds, my sore throat just won't go away. I had some cucumber and tomato raita last night, and I'm worried if they might be making my throat worse. Could those foods be affecting my recovery?
Eating cucumber and dahi (yogurt) is unlikely to cause or worsen a sore throat; in fact, yogurt has anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe a sore throat; however, the acidity in tomatoes might slightly irritate the throat, but this is usually temporary and mild; it's more likely that your sore throat persists due to the underlying viral or bacterial infection, and it may take some time to fully recover, so continue with your medicatio

Is BPPV something I should be worried about? I've been feeling really dizzy when I go to bed or get up, and the doctor mentioned it's BPPV. Is this a serious issue?
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder. A person with BPPV experiences a sudden spinning sensation whenever they move their head. BPPV isnt a sign of a serious problem. If it doesnt disappear on its own within six weeks, a simple in-office procedure can help ease your symptoms.Hello, Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury.Don't work in high altitude like building construction , pilot , skydiving etc... Sit down soon when you feel dizzy , get up from the bed slowly , there is no cure but it can be manageable with therapy .
