I'm experiencing some pain in my throat that's been going on for about two weeks now. It only hurts when I swallow saliva, but not when I'm eating or drinking anything. The pain seems to come and go, and there's no pain when I move my neck. I don't have a cough or anything, but when I'm distracted or busy, I sometimes don't notice it as much. I'm really concerned and a bit scared that it might be something serious like throat cancer. Could you help me understand what could be causing this?

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?

Question

I've been experiencing this tickling noise in my ear for a couple of weeks now, and I'm kind of worried. It feels like when you get that ear blockage from pressure changes, like going up a mountain. Plus, I've been yawning a lot more than usual. Is there something wrong with my ear? What could be causing this and should I get it checked out?

Question

I'm having trouble smelling anything right now and it's really worrying me. Do you have any medicine recommendations that could help me get my sense of smell back?
