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?

It sounds like you might be dealing with post-nasal drip or mucus buildup in the throat. Try drinking warm water with honey and lemon to soothe the throat, and consider using a saline nasal spray or steam inhalation to help clear the mucus. If it persists, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

Question

I've been smoking a bit of weed for the past four years, not a lot, but consistently. Lately, I've had a cold, and now every morning I wake up with a really dry throat and this burning sensation. I'm not sure if it's just because of the cold or if the weed is causing it too. Is there a risk of developing serious throat issues from using weed frequently?

Question

I've been smoking and drinking on and off, and about 10 days ago, I had a really bad throat pain and cold fever. My doctor gave me Ampoxin 625 mg, and it completely went away. But I've noticed that whenever I masturbate at night, by the next morning, I've got this awful sore throat. It's been like this for 10 days straight. Is there some connection between masturbation and sore throats?

Question

I've put 3 to 4 drops of ear drops in my left ear last night around 10, and now it's totally blocked. I'm having trouble hearing properly. What's going on? Should I go see the nearest hospital for this?
