I've been experiencing this whistle-like sound in my ears for a couple of months now. It's similar to the noise you hear when a loud firecracker goes off nearby. It's really affecting my sleep, especially when I'm in a quiet environment. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help with it?

Chronic coughing and allergy issues can be frustrating!
Given your history and current treatment, consider the following:
- Inhaler usage: Continue using the inhaler as prescribed, as it may take some time to show its full effect.
- Coughing persistence: Discuss with your doctor the possibility of an underlying condition, such as:
- Asthma
- Chronic bronchitis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Additional testing: Your doctor may recommend further tests, such as:
- Pulmonary function tests (PFTs)
- Allergy testing (e.g., skin prick test)
- Endoscopy or bronchoscopy
- Treatment adjustment: Based on your doctor's evaluation, they may adjust your treatment plan, including:
- Changing or adding medications
- Increasing or decreasing inhaler dosage
- Recommending lifestyle changes (e.g., avoiding allergens, quitting smoking)
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss your progress and any concerns.

View allI'm a 34-year-old female and recently noticed a white oval lump behind my tonsil on the left side of my mouth. I only spotted it last month while dealing with some wisdom teeth issues. It doesn't hurt or cause any symptoms, but I'm really anxious about it because I have health anxiety. I drink moderately, just a few glasses of wine on the weekends, and I don't smoke. I'm fit and healthy otherwise. Can you help me understand what this might be?
It sounds like you may have a tonsil stone, also known as a tonsillolith. Tonsil stones are small, white or yellowish lumps that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They are usually harmless and can sometimes occur after an episode of tonsillitis or when debris gets trapped in the tonsil crypts. To help reduce the size of the tonsil stone and prevent them from forming, you can try gargling with warm salt water regularly. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are large or causing discomfort, they may need to be removed by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try using a water flosser to gently dislodge the tonsil stone. If you continue to have concerns or if the lump behind your tonsil changes in size or causes any symptoms, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my throat whenever I cough. It's really weird because I don't feel any discomfort while eating or drinking. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a minor thing that will go away?
The weird feeling on the left side of your throat while coughing, without difficulty swallowing food and water, could be due to a minor issue like throat muscle strain, acid reflux, or a cough-related irritation
