I'm hearing these weird sizzling sounds in my throat, it's almost like a slow sizzle or maybe like water trickling really slowly. I've done all the tests, even for covid, and they all came back negative. I also feel like I need to cough, but I never actually do. What's going on? Can you help me figure this out?

That could be post nasal drip, visit ENT doctor to rule out any signs of DNS or Sinusitis.

I've been having some issues after using Otrivin nasal spray just once. My nose feels really dry now and I've lost my sense of smell. I can't even sneeze and sometimes it's hard for me to breathe. It's been like this for two weeks and I'm kind of worried. Could the spray have caused this?
