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.

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?

I'm really worried because my husband has been noticing some blood when he spits every now and then for about a month, and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. We've done a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, a stomach ultrasound, and even an endoscopy for his throat and nose, but everything came back normal. We're not sure what steps to take next or if there's something else we should be checking out. Have you got any advice on what might be happening or what we should do?
