I've been dealing with a constant, light phlegm in my throat for about 4 months now. It all started back during the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown when I used a tissue between my kerchief and nose for 2 days while on duty. By the third day, I had chest and throat pain, and the phlegm got worse. I've stopped using tissues, but the phlegm issue didn't go away. I visited a couple of medical shops, but the medicines they gave me like Amoxycillin, Intase Incoff Forte, Histan B, Kuffdryl, and Amorax didnt really help. Now, apart from those first two days, I havent had any chest or throat pain, no sneezes or runny nose. It's just that the phlegm keeps coming, and sometimes I have to cough it up and spit it out almost every minute. Its not thick or green. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

View allI'm feeling worried because I've been experiencing dizziness when I walk after sitting in a chair for about half an hour. This has been going on for the past year, and I've already consulted a neurologist and even tried some medications, but they haven't really helped much. Some doctors suggested it might be related to an ear problem. Can you please give me some advice on where to seek treatment for this kind of issue? It's starting to make me anxious about going to the office. I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

I'm really struggling to understand what's going on with my preauricular sinus pit. I've had it since birth on my left ear and for years, it would drain and I'd have to use medications. It stopped leaking around 5 to 10 years ago, but I started dealing with swelling instead, and tried more meds. Then in 2017, it got infected and turned into an abscess, so I went through surgery for an incision and drainage. The surgeon said they removed the entire tract, but I'm still getting swelling that won't heal, even with meds. It's really confusing and frustrating. Given that this seems to be a rare issue, what steps should I take? Who's the best surgeon to reach out to about something like this?
A preauricular sinus, also known as a preauricular pit, cyst, or fissure, is a sinus tract that runs under the skin and starts with a small opening in front of the ear. It's a common congenital malformation that occurs when the ear develops abnormally early in gestation. You should consult a specialist ENT surgeon for confirmation of appropriate treatment if required
