So, 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

View allI'm feeling a lot better from the dizziness after taking Vertin16 three times a day for 15 days, just like the doctor told me. I've been keeping up with the neck exercises, as suggested. But I'm a bit concerned about what to do if the vertigo comes back in a few months. Should I just start on Vertin16 again for another 15 days, or is there any other treatment or approach I should think about?
Folllow your doctor sadvice and yes you can use that tablet when ever needed.

I've had this feeling like something is stuck in my throat for the past week and it's really starting to worry me. I've got this habit of using tobacco and pan masala, and I'm scared it might be something serious like cancer. What do you think?
Stuck fish bone can be concerning! _Possible Risks_ 1. _Infection_: If the bone remains in your throat, it can cause an infection, leading to symptoms like swelling, redness, and increased pain. 2. _Abscess formation_: In rare cases, the bone can cause an abscess to form in the throat. _Removal Methods_ 1. _Drink plenty of water_: Encourage the bone to move down your throat by drinking plenty of water. 2. _Eat soft foods_: Consume soft, sticky foods like bananas, yogurt, or marshmallows to help dislodge the bone. 3. _Try the "cough and swallow" method_: Cough gently and then swallow to try to dislodge the bone. _Medical Attention_ 1. _Visit an ENT specialist_: If you're unsure whether the bone is still stuck or if you experience severe symptoms, consult an ENT specialist. 2. _Endoscopy or X-ray_: The doctor may perform an endoscopy or X-ray to locate the bone and determine the best course of action. _When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain or difficulty swallowing_ 2. _Shortness of breath_ 3. _Fever or chills_ 4. _Blood in your saliva or cough_
