I'm really worried about my throat. The doctors said its chronic pharyngitis, and Ive been on antibiotics and antiallergics. I tried ibuprofen for the swelling, but it just comes back when I stop taking it. Sometimes, my right ear hurtsmaybe its because of my tonsils? I also have gastritis, so could it be LPR or GERD? Im a singer, and its been two months since Ive been able to sing. It's really upsetting. I've already seen three doctors but no luck. What should I do?

I'm really worried because for the past three months, I've had this constant excess mucus in my throat. I feel like I need to clear my throat all the time, and sometimes it even gets sore or I'll have a cough with this sticky mucus. It's frustrating because my throat occasionally turns red too. I'm trying to understand what's going on, but I'm completely stumped. What could be causing this? Is there something specific I should be looking out for or trying to manage it?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
