I've been dealing with a dry cough for over a month now, and it never seemed to completely go away. Now it's back with that annoying metallic taste in my mouth, and I even had a fever yesterday. I've been trying some home remedies like gargling and taking honey with ginger, thinking it's just a regular throat infection. I'm curious if there's something more going on or if there's anything else I should be doing to get better?

Ive noticed my uvula seems to be touching my tongue, and it feels like something is hanging at the back of my mouth. Its making it hard for me to talk. Could this be something I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may have an elongated or swollen uvula, which is causing discomfort and affecting your speech. I recommend taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen to reduce swelling and discomfort. You can also try gargling with warm salt water to help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

My mom has a CSF leak from her right nose. The ENT surgeon recommends surgery, but the general medicine and critical care doctors say it's not urgent and suggest getting a third opinion from a neurologist or another ENT specialist. She's on medication now and showing some improvement compared to before. Should we go ahead with the endoscopic surgery or wait to see if it heals on its own?
Given the differing opinions and your mother's improving condition, it's wise to delay the surgery and explore conservative treatment options. The ENT surgeon's recommendation for surgery is one option, but the general medicine and critical care doctors suggest a less urgent approach and seeking a second or third opinion. Since the condition is improving, a period of observation and conservative treatment is warranted.
