I've been dealing with a blocked right ear for about two years now, and despite checking it out several times, no one can say what's wrong. Lately, I've also had this feeling of mucus at the back of my throat that I can't seem to cough up. It's really affecting my daily life because whenever I talk, it feels like there's an echo of my own voice in my head. What could be causing this and how can I make it go away?

I've been noticing something weird every morning when I get up. After I wash my face with hot water, I notice something like coldness coming from my throat, and it's been happening for months. Plus, whenever I eat something cold or get exposed to cold weather, my throat gets all uncomfortable, like I'm going to catch a cold. Is there some special test I should look into to figure out what's going on?

That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

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?

stop using otrovin and consult your ent
