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.

View allI'm dealing with a blocked right ear due to wax buildup and I'm not sure what to do. I've got these small packets of Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9 with me, but I'm unsure if they're safe to use as ear drops for this. The label says it's a sterile isotonic solution of sodium chloride in water for injections, with a pH of 4.5 to 7.0 and no preservatives. Is it okay to use this on my ear, or should I look for something else?

I'm really worried about this polyp-type thing I discovered below my right tonsil. I've attached some images for you to see. There's a whitish thing in there too, it's just an earbud so please ignore that. Lately, I've been feeling this bump when I swallow and it's making me anxious if it's something serious or possibly malignant. I'm only 22 and it's been stressing me out. Could you help me understand what this might be?

I'm dealing with a sticky throat issue, and it feels like the cough is just stuck there all the time. I had a cough a few days ago and it's still bothering me. Could there be something else going on, or should I be doing something specific to help with this?
You may be experiencing post-nasal drip causing the sensation of a sticky throat. You can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help reduce the mucus production. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation.
