I'm dealing with a dry nose and mouth after recovering from Covid-19. I'm drinking about 3 liters of water every day, but the issue still persists, especially at night. I'm also taking a 0.5 mg anxit tablet for anxiety. What else can I do to get some relief?

In addition to staying hydrated, you can try using a saline nasal spray for your dry nose. Also, consider using a humidifier in your room at night to help with the dryness. If the symptoms persist, you can consult with your doctor about using a medication like pilocarpine (Salagen) to stimulate saliva production.

While surgery is generally considered safe, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks in your child's specific case.

I'm having some ear pain for the past three days. It gets worse when I burp or do something similar, and now the pain seems to be spreading in my ear. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?
Sounds like you may be experiencing ear infection symptoms. I recommend using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can use ear drops containing benzocaine to help with the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
