I've been noticing a bad smell when I cough, but I don't have any cold or flu symptoms, and my throat doesn't hurt at all. I went to see a doctor, and they mentioned it might be submucous fibrosis. What should I do about it?

I've been dealing with a dry throat for the past three days. A few days ago, I had this sensation like something was caught in my throat, which eventually went away on its own, but now my throat just feels really dry. I get a mild cough, and there are times when I feel like I might have a fever, but then it disappears just as quickly. I've noticed some occasional chest pain, and sometimes my stomach acts up with gurgling twice a day. The only thing I've been taking is Calpol. It's particularly uncomfortable at night because the dryness makes it hard to sleep. Though there's no pain while swallowing or in the throat, it's beginning to bother me. Can you suggest any medicines or something I can do to help with this?

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for a while and recently saw a homeopath who said it's turned into nasal polyps. Is there any way to treat nasal polyps without having to go through surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible.

polypectomy is advised to the patient.

I'm noticing blood in my saliva occasionally, but there's no cough accompanying it. My IgE levels were elevated a couple of months ago. I'm really curious about what might be causing this. Any ideas?

Consult with a general physician or pulmonologist for proper assessment..get a chest x-ray, blood count and montoux test to rule out tubercular infection..
