I'm a bit concerned about my blood test results. My high mean platelet volume is 14, and I noticed my total platelet count is 223. What could this mean? Should I be worried about anything related to these numbers?

Question

I've been waking up with a dry and sore soft palate every morning for over a year now, especially on colder days. It also tends to get sore and dries out when I'm breathing through my nose without swallowing during the day. I notice I feel a bit feverish when it gets dry and sore, although that fades after I swallow. I've been using Nasivin nasal drops for over a year, which is when these issues began. Could there be a connection? What might be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Question

I've been experiencing some pain when I chew or eat, and it's been going on for about 56 days now in my right ear. At first, I thought it might have something to do with my teeth, but I can clearly feel it's an ear pain. Can you help me figure out what's causing this or what I should do about it?
