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?
