I'm waking up every morning with a sore throat, and I notice white mucus, plus my mouth and lips feel really dry. On top of that, I'm getting pain in my teeth and jaw, and feeling fatigued, with headaches sometimes. What could be causing all these symptoms?

May indicate symptoms of a possible sinus infection or post-nasal drip. I recommend taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the mucus production and throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages and relieve dryness. For the pain in your teeth and jaw, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and get adequate rest to help with fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm worried because I was using an earbud to clean my ear, and some of the cotton got stuck inside. I managed to pull some of it out with tweezers, but not all of it. Then I tried putting a couple of drops of Soliwax in my ear. Will this help, or should I be doing something else to ensure my ear is okay?
Using an earbud to clean your ears can push earwax deeper, and leaving cotton behind can cause irritation; attempting to remove the cotton with a plucker can also cause damage; applying Soliwax ear drops may help dissolve the remaining wax, but to ensure relief and avoid further complications, consult an ENT specialist for proper evaluation and safe earwax removal.
