I'm having a hard time with this persistent mucus in my throat, and it's not getting better even after I've tried steaming and gargling. I'm currently using Seroflow 500, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any advice on what else I can do? It's really frustrating.

I'm really struggling with this whole not smoking thing after my tonsil removal. I've been smoking about 15 cigarettes a day, and now the past couple of days without them are just killing me. The NRT options aren't helping much either. My doctor mentioned something about my bleeding risk going from 2 to 3 if I smoke, but that doesn't entirely make sense to me. I'm trying to find out what the absolute minimum time is before I can start smoking again. Honestly, quitting for good isn't an option for me, and going two weeks without smoking seems nearly impossible. Any advice?

no you have to quit smoking

There's a big hole in one of my tonsils with a white film on top, it's uncomfortable but not sore. The other tonsil looks fine. What could this be, and should I be worried about it?

I'm 48 and just found out I have a throat tumor. The doctor near me recommended surgery but I'm worried are there other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife?

Depending on tumor type, radiation or chemo may be options‚Äîget a biopsy and second opinion before deciding.
