I'm experiencing some discomfort when swallowing, particularly on the right side near my Adam's Apple. It's not a constant pain, but it sometimes feels like a lumpy soreness throughout the day, especially when I gulp. I have a moderate cough and notice I'm spitting more often. Last month, I had a cold and sore throat and was advised to take Azithral and ClavamXR by my GP. I've also stopped working out for about a month and it feels like I'm gaining weight. Could you offer some advice or insights into what's going on?

I've been using Sudafed nasal spray that has Xylometazoline Hydrochloride for my flu and a blocked nose, and the label says to use it three times in 24 hours. Is it okay if I take a fourth dose? I'm just really struggling to breathe through my nose right now.

It is not recommended to exceed the dosage instructions on the bottle. Taking more than the recommended dose can lead to potential side effects and complications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I've been having these really painful mouth and throat ulcers. Drinking water feels impossible because it hurts so much, but oddly enough, eating doesn't seem to bother me as much. I'm just kind of worried and wondering what might be going on. Is there anything I can do to help relieve the pain, or should I be concerned about something more serious?
