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.

I've noticed a small lump on the right side, right in the middle of my neck. It's kind of concerning because it hurts when I touch it, and I can only really feel it when I press the area. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this and what I should do about it. Any advice?

I've been experiencing some strange sensations in my ear, like occasional sounds and this feeling like something's stuck inside. It's really unsettling, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Could you shed some light on what might be happening?

Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions. Explore sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relaxation techniques to manage symptoms. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) can help your brain habituate to tinnitus. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding loud noises and managing stress, can also help. While there's no cure, these strategies can alleviate symptoms.

I've been dealing with this bothersome phlegm stuck in the back of my throat and it's not going away. I've tried gargling but it hasn't worked and now there's also this unpleasant odor coming from my mouth. What can I do to get rid of it?

It sounds like you might be dealing with post-nasal drip or mucus buildup in the throat. Try drinking warm water with honey and lemon to soothe the throat, and consider using a saline nasal spray or steam inhalation to help clear the mucus. If it persists, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.
