Can using nasal saline spray really help protect us from getting infected by black fungus? I'm curious about how this works and if it's something I should consider.

Nasal saline spray like Solespre can help in keeping the nasal passages moist and clear, which may potentially reduce the risk of fungal infections. However, it is important to note that nasal saline spray alone may not be sufficient to prevent black fungus infection. It is essential to maintain good hygiene practices and seek medical attention if any concerning symptoms arise.

Question

I'm really struggling with a bad cold and my nose is completely blocked. Luckily, I don't have a fever right now. I currently have some crocin cold and flu tablets, but I recently heard that they might be banned by the government. Is it still safe for me to take them? I don't have any other medication on hand.

Question

I'm feeling like there's something oily in my throat when I swallow, and it keeps coming back up but never fully comes out. I've tried gargling with hot water, but it's really uncomfortable. A few days ago, I had a cold and now I'm suffering from a cough and sore throat. I'm taking Grilinctus for the cough. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
