I've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?

The pain under the left side of the tongue could be due to:
- Sublingual gland infection or inflammation
- Salivary gland stone
- Lingual tonsillitis
- Trauma or injury
- Oral cancer (rarely)
Consult an ENT specialist or an oral surgeon for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend:
- Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan)
- Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)
- Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications

View allI've been dealing with this dry cough for the past 10 days and I went to see a doctor. They gave me antibiotics and anti-allergy meds, but I'm not seeing any improvement. The doctor checked and said my chest and throat are clear. A few days ago, they suggested I use betadine solution for gargling, but my voice is still blocked and this dry cough just won't go away. Any idea what might be going on or what else I should try?

I've been feeling really dizzy since yesterday whenever I lie down or get up. It also happens when I shake my head. Should I see an ENT specialist for this, or would another specialist be better?
Your symptoms suggest benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common inner ear disorder; consider consulting an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist or a neurologist for a proper evaluation and treatment, which may include the Epley maneuver or other exercises to help alleviate the dizziness.
