Im really worried because I seem to have lost my sense of smell completely. It's like I can't detect any scents at all and it feels like 100% of my smelling power is just gone. Could you please guide me on what treatment options are available for this?

Loss of smell, also known as anosmia, can have various causes such as sinus infections, nasal polyps, allergies, or even neurological conditions. One common treatment option for restoring smell is using nasal steroid sprays. You can try using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray can help with nasal congestion and improve smell sensation. It is important to consult with a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

It started out like a regular sore throat, but then two days ago I woke up and spat out mucus that had half mucus and half blood in it, which freaked me out a bit. I remember having a tough crusted pizza before it started, thinking maybe that had something to do with it. Now today, I've been spitting up a lot of mucus and noticed tiny amounts of blood too. Should I be concerned about this?

It's definitely possible to address a "crying" voice through non-surgical methods, primarily voice therapy and exercises. While surgery can be an option for some vocal cord issues, voice therapy is often the first line of treatment and can be very effective. Here's a breakdown of potential approaches:

I'm experiencing pain in my throat whenever I swallow saliva, but it seems to be less noticeable when I'm eating or drinking. The thing is, the pain shifts from one side to the other, sometimes on the right and then back to the left, and I'm also feeling a slight discomfort near my ear. Any advice on what might be going on?
