Question

I'm feeling really worried because my throat is hurting a lot, and swallowing is super painful. The pain is unbearable, and I'm coughing up some yellowish stuff that makes it hurt even more when I spit. Lately, I've also started getting a headache. Could you please give me some advice on what might be going on?

Question

I've been really anxious about something recently. I tested positive for COVID-19 about a month ago, and a week after that, I got mild pneumonia. The doctor put me on steroids, and now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm really worried about the risk of getting black fungus. I've never had diabetes or any other diseases, and I was in home isolation the whole time I had COVID. Do you think I could still be at risk for contracting it?

Question

I accidentally swallowed a fish thorn and since then, it feels like something's stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow, there's this little pain, and I'm not sure if the thorn is still there or if it caused a scratch. I've tried some home remedies, but it hasn't gotten better. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?

Question
