I'm experiencing this strange sensation like there's water stuck in my throat, and it's been going on since yesterday. It's kinda freaking me out, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Is this something I should be worried about or maybe just a minor thing that'll pass? Any ideas on what this might be or how I could find some relief?

The sensation of having water stuck in your throat could be due to various reasons such as acid reflux, postnasal drip, or a swollen throat; try gargling with warm salt water, sipping warm tea, or taking antacids to alleviate the discomfort, and if the sensation persists, consult a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.

I've been having this issue where there's a really smelly mucus coming from just one nostril, and I can't seem to shake off this runny nose. On top of that, I've been feeling kind of lethargic, and I've got this persistent headache thats just on one side of my forehead. Sometimes, I even notice some swelling on one of my cheeks. Could these symptoms be connected, and do you think I should be worried about something more serious?

That could be sinusitis needs a course of antibiotics,visit your ENT docotor for appropriate management and do steam inhalation for relief.

I'm really worried about this sore throat I keep getting every morning for the past few days. I make sure to drink water before bed and sometimes even in the middle of the night, but it doesn't seem to help. I've noticed I mostly sleep with my mouth closed too. Could you give me some advice on what might help? Also, I don't drink tea or coffee before bed, just so you know.

It sounds like you might be experiencing dryness in your throat, possibly due to mouth breathing during sleep or environmental factors. Try using a humidifier at night to keep the air moist, and consider drinking a glass of water before bed. If the issue persists, it might be worth checking for allergies or mild reflux, which can also cause throat irritation.
