I'm a 31-year-old male who had gall bladder removal surgery in 2016 and have been on hypertension meds for the past year with an average BP of 120/90 mmHg. For the last month, I've had this throat issue where it feels like mucus is running down my throat on and off, and for the past 10 days, I've also been dealing with constipation and gastric problems. An ENT specialist checked my throat and mentioned pharyngitis, prescribing Pan DSR and Sinarest 500 mg for 10 days. I finished the course, but the symptoms are still there. Could this be more related to my throat or an abdomen issue? What should I do next?

Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat that started a couple of months ago. I took antibiotics for a week, and it seemed to clear up. But theres this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side of my throat. After meals, tiny food particles and debris get trapped there, and I often have to gargle to get rid of them. There's no pain, fever, or cough, but I recently removed a tonsil stone myself. Should I be worried that this is something serious? Im concerned and would appreciate some advice. Oh, and the picture I took is inverted, where left means right and right means left.

Question

I was dealing with nasal congestion and ear pain, and my doctor prescribed Lasma Ab for two weeks. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow up with the doctor afterward, so I've been continuing the medication. My nasal congestion seems to have improved, but I'm a bit worried. Could taking Lasma Ab for an extra two weeks do any harm?
