I've been feeling like I constantly need to clear my throat, it's been happening for the last five days and it's starting to bother me. I wonder if it might be related to some kind of gastric reflux, but I'm not really sure. There hasn't been any coughing or a cold involved, so I'm a bit puzzled about what's going on. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Your persistent need to clear your throat, without cough or cold, could be related to gastric reflux, as stomach acid can flow up into the throat, causing irritation and mucus production, but other possibilities include allergies, sinus issues, or environmental irritants, so consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

View allSo, this weird thing happens to me twice a year, and I'm kinda worried. Every time I catch a cold, after the first day, I just start salivating A LOT and it doesn't stop. It's like I'm drooling non-stop! I've tried different medications, but nothing seems to work. The drooling just does its thing and goes away after about 3-4 days. Is there something serious going on here? And if there are any meds that can help with this, that would be awesome.
a cold can cause excess salivation, also known as hypersalivation. This is because a cold can lead to nasal congestion, which can cause you to breathe through your mouth more. Breathing through your mouth can make it easier for saliva to escape. if excess salivation is due to cold then treat the cause

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's a bit puzzling. Whenever I move my lower lip to the left side, I feel pain in my ear and right above it. It's a similar kind of pain that I get while chewing, though that's a bit milder. Could this be related to something specific, or is it just normal muscle pain? I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about.
according to my opinion you have to consult ENT speciality for the same

I've been dealing with sinusitis and just got my report should I be worried about anything? Does it look like I might need surgery for this?
Sinusitis surgery is needed if there's nasal polyps, severe blockage, or repeated infections—CT scan helps assess severity and guide treatment.
