I'm really concerned about my mom, who's 58 and diabetic. She's been taking vertin16 daily for the past year to help with her tinnitus. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to get the Covid vaccine while she's on this medication?

Question

I'm really struggling with my nasal spray habit. I've been using Otrivin for around 45 years now and every time I try to stop, my nose just gets so stuffy that I end up using it again. It's affecting my life a lot, and I can't seem to shake it off. Plus, there's this post-nasal drip that bothers me. What can I do to finally break free from this cycle? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

From the last month or so, I've been having a sore throat, and when I checked in the mirror, I could see that the right side of my palatoglossal arch is red and a bit swollen. There's also a small white spot behind it. Is this just an infection or could it be something more serious? Google mentioned soft palate cancer, and now I'm really worried. Could you give me some guidance on what's happening? I've attached a picture for reference.

Question

I've been dealing with a cold for about two months now, and it's left me with this really annoying foul taste in my mouth. The cold itself isn't really bothering me as much as the taste is. Any ideas on what's causing this, and how I can get rid of that awful taste?
