I'm really struggling with a sore throat and it's becoming hard to swallow my saliva. I think it might be a bacterial infection. Do you have any suggestions on what medication I should take to feel better?

Throat pain and difficulty swallowing saliva could be a sign of a bacterial infection like strep throat. It's important to consult with a doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic like amoxicillin or azithromycin. In the meantime, you can use throat lozenges and warm saline gargles for relief.

I'm curious about something. I managed to quit smoking using nicotine gums and did pretty well with it, but now I'm dealing with a sore throat, some irritation, and phlegm issues. I was using the 4mg gum, usually around 2 or 3 pieces a day, and now I just occasionally need a piece. I'm wondering if the nicotine gum could be harmful and if I should think about stopping completely?

I've been dealing with throat pain for about 4 months now, and I've tried several medications for pharyngitis, but they haven't really worked. I recently switched to a new ENT doctor, and he prescribed more medicine for pharyngitis for 7 days. After taking it for just 2 days, I started having hiccups. For the past two days, I've been getting frequent hiccups every 2 to 3 hours, lasting around 10 to 15 minutes each time. I'm looking for some guidance on what might be causing this and how to prevent any issues. Any advice would be really helpful.
