I'm really worried about this sensation of something stuck in my throat that's been bothering me for the last three months. At first, there was this heaviness near my throat, but thankfully that's gotten better. Whats weird is the problem of feeling like there's something there just won't go away. Earlier, I also had a burping issue, but thats stopped now. I should mention I used to smoke and have quit since March when these throat issues started. Any idea what could be going on?

Your persistent sensation of something stuck in your throat, despite improvement in heaviness, could be related to acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or a throat irritation; quitting smoking is a positive step, but consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions, such as a throat polyp, inflammation, or esophageal narrowing, and to discuss further diagnostic tests like endoscopy or imaging studies.

View allI've been having frequent nosebleeds for the past three days, and yesterday it happened three times. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or avoid?
Frequent nosebleeds can be concerning. It is important to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter nasal decongestant spray like Afrin. Apply 2-3 sprays in the affected nostril every 12 hours. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray like Ocean Spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Apply 2-3 sprays in each nostril 2-3 times a day. If the nosebleeds persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if Vizylac is effective for treating a sore or inflamed throat, or if it's meant for something else entirely? I've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm curious if this is the right medication to use or if there's a better option.
its a probiotic and is used to replace your gut flora in case of diarrhea.

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've always been really skinnylike, my whole life. I'm around 55 kg, and nothing I've tried in terms of medicines or treatments seems to help me gain weight. I've also got a couple of other issues. My left ear veins aren't working right, so I can't hear out of it, and I'm starting to go bald even though I'm pretty young. Plus, I have this bad habit of chewing tobacco, which I know can't be helping. I'm really eager to figure out how to get healthier and maybe even bulk up a bit. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I could do?
Patient is advised tobacco cessation.
