I'm waking up really early in the morning and almost immediately start coughing. I went to see the doctor, and they told me everything seems fine, even my CT scan was clear. I'm starting to think that maybe it's because I'm swallowing my mouth water before I brush my teeth. Could that actually be irritating my throat and causing me to cough? It's strange because no one else around me seems to be having this issue. Is there something wrong with my mouth water that's causing this? I'm just a bit worried and can't figure out what could be happening.

I've noticed this white spot on the back of my throat for a few days now, just the one, it hasn't spread or anything. Along with it, I've been dealing with a cold cough, runny nose, sore muscles but it's nothing too serious. Should I be worried about this spot? Is it related to my cold symptoms, or could it be something else? What should I do next?
