I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now, and today it's gotten worse with a sore throat. It's actually making it hard to swallow my own saliva, but weirdly, I don't have the same problem when I'm eating food. I'm really curious why this is happening and what I can do to make it better. Can you help explain what's going on and any treatments I might try?

Your symptoms of cold, cough, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing saliva, but not food, suggest a possible viral pharyngitis or tonsillitis; the reason for this selective difficulty swallowing is likely due to the inflammation and irritation of the throat, which is more pronounced when swallowing thin liquids like saliva, but less noticeable with thicker, more lubricated foods; treatment options include: gargling with warm salt water, sucking on lozenges or ice chips,

View allI had septoplasty about six months ago to correct my deviated septum, but ever since, I've been having trouble breathing and can't sleep at all during the night. My nose feels really dry, and it seems like the air isn't getting to my lungs properly. I went back to my doctor, and they said it might be an allergy, but I'm not really convinced. I've been reading about empty nose syndrome and wondering if that's what I might have. Is there any way to cure ENS or manage these symptoms better?

I've had a maxillary sinus issue for about 3 years now, and it seems to be getting worse. It started when a doctor gave me some meds, but I only took them for a week and stopped. Recently, I've been dealing with a lot of itching all over my body, especially bad when I get my legs waxed. It's been going on for the last month, and along with this itching, my sinus issues like coughing have also been acting up more frequently. I've started taking steam to relieve it a bit, but I'm wondering what I should do for a proper cure. Should I get my sinus condition checked out to see what's going on, or should I see a doctor for some advice? Any suggestions would be really helpful.
