Question

I'm thinking about using sesame oil, like 12 drops daily in each nostril, to help with these annoying dry, hard crusts that keep forming. Is that something safe to do every day? Also, can I use olive oil for my ears, and how often should I be using it? What amount is considered okay?

Question

I've been feeling like I might have accidentally swallowed a toothbrush bristle while brushing, and now it seems like it's stuck in my throat. But I'm not totally sure if it's actually there or if it's just in my head. On top of that, I've been dealing with a cough for over a week now. Could these things be related, and is there something I should do?

Question

I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now, and today it's gotten worse with a sore throat. It's actually making it hard to swallow my own saliva, but weirdly, I don't have the same problem when I'm eating food. I'm really curious why this is happening and what I can do to make it better. Can you help explain what's going on and any treatments I might try?

Question

I've been experiencing this nagging pain on the right side of my throat, but it doesn't quite feel like tonsillitis. It's making it hard to swallow, and I have a mild headache. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What could be causing this?
