I'm having this issue where I'm producing a lot of saliva while I'm sleeping, and it feels like my mouth and windpipe are just drying out, so I'm constantly having to swallow. It sometimes leads to saliva or mucus accidentally getting into my windpipe when I'm deeply asleep, and I wake up suddenly because I'm choking and can't breathe. It's really scary because I struggle for a bit before I can finally breathe normally again. It's making me afraid that I might actually choke in my sleep. Also, I've got this allergy to cough. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe what I can do about it?

I've been having a hard time sleeping and my throat really hurts. Plus, I've got this mucus that's kind of worrying me because it has these weird black specks in it. My sinuses feel all swollen too. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this?

I've been having this weird needle-like pain on the left side of my throat that kind of spreads to my left ear. It doesn't feel like a regular sore throat; it's barely noticeable, but it's there, and it's really freaking me out. I suffer from severe anxiety, and I'm just super worried it could be throat cancer. What do you think could be going on?
