Ear-Nose-Throat Problems
CT scan for chronic sinus infections??
I always prone to catch cold, sinus infection, strep throat often. I used to get one infection in 2 or 3 months. Always resolve with antibiotics. Catch cold if I go out in cold weather, cold wind and if I have ice cream or cold good items. I never tested for any allergies.i an in USA now.had one pns x-ray when I was in India last year. Here, ENT told me to get CT scan and x-ray to check if I have any infection. I have sinus infection, ear infection, swelling under ear for past 3 weeks.was on amoxicillin and it didn't reduce the pain and swelling. Went to an ENT and he did an Endo and said no infection in the sinus now and no infection in ear. He put me on another antibiotic for 2 weeks to see if the jaw swelling and ear pain is secondary infection. He told me to get imaging fine after 2 weeks. Is CT scan really necessary even if there's is no sinus infection now? ENT is not sure why I have the jaw pain,ear pain, swelling under ear. Just told me to get an x-ray and CT scan done. Help.

Dry throat
My throat is extremely dry these days and because of that I swallow alot to lubricate my throat. Its been a while now. I feel the need of drinking something all the time. And sometimes it feels as if the air I'm inhaling touches directly my throat. I have 2-3 cavities too. Why is it so? What should be done?

Lite White spot no pain inside cheek
I have habit of chewing gutkha, the spot marked by red arrow was caused by pouring gutkha into mouth after i spat it out, it caused wound like spot with red inflammation after some days it's healed but still white spot remains but no pain it's been 18 days.
Spots marked by orange arrows are very old spots like 6 months no changes in shapes and colour no pain I don't have any symptoms. I have badly molar tooth decay in left upper set. I quitted gutkha. Is that caused irritation by gutkha. 😞 Due to lockdown I can't go to doctor for check up.
