I'm dealing with this constant production of white mucus, and it just dries up and sticks in my throat. It's making it hard for me to gulp, although eating and drinking are fine. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I might be able to deal with this?

I've been having vertigo episodes and I'm confused about whether to see an ENT specialist or a neurologist or maybe both - can you help me understand which symptoms would require which doctor? Also is vertigo dangerous or something that can cause long-term harm? And is it usually treated with medications or are there specific exercises that help - would I ever need surgery for this condition?

Vertigo can be caused by inner ear issues (like BPPV or vestibular neuritis), in which case an **ENT** is ideal. If symptoms include double vision, weakness, or numbness, a **neurologist** should be consulted. Most vertigo is not dangerous or long-term and improves with **medications and vestibular exercises**; surgery is rarely needed and only in specific conditions like severe Meniere’s disease.

I'm curious about something that's been bothering me. Whenever I sneeze, I notice a metallic taste in my mouth, almost like blood, and it comes with dizziness, facial pain, abdominal pain, and nausea. It's pretty concerning. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

I'm dealing with Granular Pharyngitis and have been for a few years now. My throat constantly feels heavy and clogged with cough, and I find myself needing to clear it all the time. It's tough to talk sometimes, and my voice has gone hoarse permanently. I saw a local ENT specialist, but I didn't get much help. Do you think I should get a second opinion? Any advice on dealing with this would be really appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Granular Pharyngitis. It can be frustrating, especially when it affects your voice and makes talking difficult. Seeking a second opinion is a good idea, as a more thorough evaluation and treatment plan can help manage symptoms better. It might be useful to look into lifestyle changes, medication, or even voice therapy depending on the severity.
