Question

I've been experiencing this weird click sensation in my throat whenever I swallow, almost like something is shifting around in there. It's not painful, but there's this constant feeling of something being there, and its seriously annoying, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I have this lingering cough sensation too, but it's mostly just an odd feeling rather than a full cough. I did drink a lot of alcohol for over a year, which I thought might be the cause, but Ive stopped drinking for the last month and a half, yet the problem persists. I've tried looking up stuff on Google but ended up more confused. Any idea what might be going on or how I can get rid of this discomfort?

Question

I've been dealing with this bothersome phlegm stuck in the back of my throat and it's not going away. I've tried gargling but it hasn't worked and now there's also this unpleasant odor coming from my mouth. What can I do to get rid of it?

Question

I'm really worried about this situation with my nose. I recently saw an ENT doctor who did a full face x-ray and said that the bone on one side of my nostril is bent, which is blocking a bit of the airway and leaving very little space to breathe on that side. He gave me some medicine for 10 days, but I'm unsure if this will actually help in straightening the bone or if surgery might be necessary. I've been feeling really weak and I think it's because I'm not getting enough oxygen. What should I do?
