I've been dealing with this issue for the past couple of weeks and it's really starting to worry me. My throat is constantly dry, and it's really painful when I try to swallow my saliva. It's strange though, because I can swallow food and water just fine. This dry throat thing is just nonstop all day and I'm kind of at a loss here. What do you think might be going on? Could it be something serious?

My ears feel really blocked up because of a cold, and it's really messing with my hearing. I'm already on some meds for the cold, but what can I do to fix the ear problem? It's kind of concerning.
To resolve your blocked ears due to cold and improve your hearing, you can try using over-the-counter nasal decongestants like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) or Afrin (oxymetazoline) spray. These medications can help reduce the congestion in your Eustachian tubes and improve airflow, which may help relieve the blockage in your ears. You can also try using a warm compress on your ears to help alleviate the discomfort and promote drainage. Additionally, staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest can also help your body fight off the cold and reduce congestion.

I've had this white spot on my tonsil for a few days now, and whenever I touch it with a swab, it feels like a piece of rice comes out. It's happened a few times in the same spot, and even though I'm gargling with hot water and taking medicine, its not going away. I can feel something at the back of my mouth, but there isn't much pain. I've had tonsillitis since I was a kid, but this feels different. Plus, there's some pain in my ear.
