I'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and can barely talk because of it. The cough just won't go away, and I've got this annoying throat pain popping up occasionally. It's been like this for the last few days. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should do to feel better?

I've been dealing with some issues lately. After recovering from a skin infection last week, where I was on antibiotics and painkillers, I've now developed a canker sore on my tonsils and throat. It's making it really hard to eat or drink anything. Do you think this might be related to the medication I was on, or is it something else? What can I do to ease the discomfort?

That could be Tonsillitis, consume warm foods, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with nasal congestion for more than 5 to 6 days now, and I've been using decongestants pretty frequently. I'm really worried because I've started having some breathing problems and mild asthma symptoms. Is it possible that the decongestants are making things worse, and what should I do about it?

don't take decongestants more then 10days ! avoid allergy areas
