I've been dealing with this cough for 23 days now, and it's getting really frustrating. I'm coughing up this greenish-yellow mucus, and every single time I cough, I can't breathe and start gagging. On top of that, my nose is super congested, my tonsils are all inflamed, and I've got this really terrible ear pain. What could be going on here? Should I be concerned about this combination of symptoms?

Ive been noticing this really unpleasant smell coming from my throat (not my mouth) for about 40 to 50 days now. It hangs around for a day or two, and it's happened three times so far. Im also dealing with a dry cough that pops up whenever I'm in air-conditioned places or when there's a lot of dust around, but it's not severe and doesn't last long. Plus, I get body aches once a week that last up to two to three days. Im kind of worried about what these symptoms might mean. Which type of doctor should I see to figure out whats going on?

I've had this hearing issue for 10-12 years and seen many doctors without a clear solution. Recently, an audiometry test showed my right ear is fine but the left ear doesn't pick up any beeps at any frequency. The doctor said there's no treatment except a hearing aid and ruled out surgery unless it's a bone or tumor issue. They mentioned one surgery option but said it's not guaranteed since it might be a nerve problem. Is there really no way to fix this 100% or am I stuck with a hearing aid for life?

ent review is advised.

I've noticed this lump on my left tonsil that's been there for about 2 years now. It's painless, but I've got these tonsil stones. I'm really not sure what's going on. I should mention that I'm a smoker too. Should I be worried, or is this something that can just happen?

for tonsil stones surgeryis the only option
