I've been experiencing a dry cough whenever I talk and sometimes even when I'm just breathing. I usually deal with sinus issues, but I haven't had any recent cold or fever. Should I be concerned about this cough, and do you think it might be linked to my sinus problem? What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?

Your persistent dry cough, especially while speaking and breathing, despite no recent cold or fever, may be related to your underlying sinus issues, potentially triggering postnasal drip, acid reflux, or irritation of the throat and airways, so consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialis

I've been feeling kind of strange since yesterday. My mouth has this metallic taste, and my throat is sore and really hurts. What do you think it could be?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a viral infection or possibly a bacterial infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the sore throat and pain. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges or gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've had a cold with a cough for the past 10 days. I've been taking cough syrup, and it seemed to be getting better, but just yesterday, my left side of my face started hurting and I've been feeling really weak. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is this something that could still be connected to my cold? What should I do next?

The sudden onset of left-sided facial pain and weakness, following a 10-day cold and cough, could indicate a possible post-viral complication, such as trigeminal neuralgia, facial neuritis, or even a mild stroke; seek immediate medical attention from a primary care physician

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.
