I woke up this morning with a really sore and swollen uvula, and it's quite painful. I've had a cough for the past few days and have been using Zeet cough syrup and drinking warm water with honey, which helped a bit, but the irritation is still there in my throat. Today, I also noticed a swollen vulva, and when I was cleaning my nose, there was some blood mixed with mucus. It's Sunday, so I can't see a doctor. What should I do?

I'm trying to understand how to use Tufpro suspension. Is it meant to be swallowed like a regular medication, or is it supposed to be used just for rinsing the mouth and then spit out? I'm a bit confused about how to take it properly.

I'm experiencing a really bad sore throat after eating pickles, fried, or spicy foods and sometimes when I smoke. I don't smoke regularly, maybe once a month or a bit more. Should I be worried about this, or is it just something that happens with these types of foods? Is there anything I can do to prevent it or ease the soreness when it happens?
