I'm feeling this strange cold and minty sensation in my throat, and it's been going on for almost a week now. I stopped smoking because I thought that might be causing it, but it's still there. I read somewhere that it might be acid reflux, but I'm not really sure how that would happen. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been struggling with IBS for quite a while now, actually, it's been ongoing since I turned 34 and I'm from Bangladesh. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution to this. Is there any treatment available that could finally put an end to my IBS issues?
A lymphocyte percentage of 46.6% is slightly elevated. The normal range is typically between 20-40%. Mild elevations can be caused by viral infections, stress, or fatigue. However, it's essential to consider your absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and other blood test results. Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine if further testing is needed. In most cases, a mildly elevated lymphocyte percentage is not a cause for concern.

Can someone help me with understanding if radish, especially the white kind, is okay for acidity issues? A friend mentioned radish juice could help with my constipation, but since it has a spicy taste, I'm worried it might actually cause more acidity.
