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

I've been dealing with this bothersome phlegm stuck in the back of my throat and it's not going away. I've tried gargling but it hasn't worked and now there's also this unpleasant odor coming from my mouth. What can I do to get rid of it?

It sounds like you might be dealing with post-nasal drip or mucus buildup in the throat. Try drinking warm water with honey and lemon to soothe the throat, and consider using a saline nasal spray or steam inhalation to help clear the mucus. If it persists, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

I've been inhaling quite a bit of steam lately because of all the COVID stuff going on, and now I'm freaking out a bit. I'm feeling this weird burning sensation running from my throat to my chest. It's been a few days, and now my mouth and tongue are all red and irritated. I'm taking B Complex tablets like Folvite and Sucrafil Suspension for it. I'm worried that maybe I burned my airways with all that steam. What should I do if that's the case, and is there a specific treatment for something like this?

looking at your symptoms, it's not that burns in airways. whatever medications you are taking that's enough

my brother has a small hole in his left ear along with sinus issues the doctor recommended sinus surgery first and mentioned his ear problem might improve too can you tell me the average cost of sinus surgery and whether insurance usually covers it

I don't think undergoing sinus surgery is going to cure your brothers ear problem which is most of the times permanent. sometimes it may reduce number of infective episodes in ear. but hole in the ear drum if long standing won't close unless operated. endoscopic sinus surgery cost depends on the surgeon who is operating and centre where surgery is done. cost may range from 10k to 50k.
