I'm really struggling with a persistent mucus issue that's been going on for about 8 years, which feels unreal to me. Lately, it's gotten worse with this smooth white mucus constantly forming in my throat. I find myself needing to clear it out every few minutes which triggers coughing too. I'm worried and could really use some guidance on what might be happening and how to manage this. Could you help with some advice?

Question

I've noticed something strange whenever I drink or swallow anythingit feels like there's something stuck to my tongue. It's a really odd sensation, and I can't figure out what's causing it. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will go away on its own?

Hey, so about a week ago, I accidentally got a piece of guava stuck in my windpipe. At first, some of it came out, and I didn't really feel like there was anything left. But now, for the past two or three days, it feels like something is still there, and it's starting to hurt. I looked it up online and came across the Heimlich maneuver. I gave it a shot, but nothing changed. Then I read about this "coca cola trick" where carbonated drinks might help dislodge it. Do you think that could actually work? Should I give it a try? And if it's really stuck there for a long time or ends up in my lungs, is that really bad?

Question

I'm dealing with tonsil stones for the past year and I've noticed some small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove a few, but can't get rid of the ones on the outer part. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat, but I don't have any ear pain, fever, swelling, or sore throat. The only issue is a dry throat. What should I do next? How can I relieve this problem without surgery? I've been gargling with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis? Any advice would be really helpful.
