I'm dealing with a sticky throat issue, and it feels like the cough is just stuck there all the time. I had a cough a few days ago and it's still bothering me. Could there be something else going on, or should I be doing something specific to help with this?

You may be experiencing post-nasal drip causing the sensation of a sticky throat. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help reduce the mucus production. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation.

View allI'm dealing with a sore throat that really bothers me at night, but it gets a bit better from morning to afternoon. There's no fever or anything like that. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on my exams because of this. What can I do to ease the discomfort?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a viral infection causing your sore throat. To help relieve your symptoms and focus on your exams, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) or ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) for pain relief. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges or gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat. It's also important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and get enough rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
