I've been noticing a hissing sound in my ears whenever I do the Valsalva maneuver. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's normal or if I should be concerned about something more serious. Could it be related to ear pressure, or do you think there's something else going on that I should get checked out?

I'm having this issue where I'm producing a lot of saliva while I'm sleeping, and it feels like my mouth and windpipe are just drying out, so I'm constantly having to swallow. It sometimes leads to saliva or mucus accidentally getting into my windpipe when I'm deeply asleep, and I wake up suddenly because I'm choking and can't breathe. It's really scary because I struggle for a bit before I can finally breathe normally again. It's making me afraid that I might actually choke in my sleep. Also, I've got this allergy to cough. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe what I can do about it?

Fractured sinus with displacement often needs surgery—recovery is 2–4 weeks post-op.

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
