I'm wondering about the benefits of gargling with either iodine salt in warm water or using a betadine solution. Which one do you think is more effective in terms of results, and why? I'm really curious about how they compare to each other.

I've been having this weird pain near the left side of my Adam's apple for about 2 months now. It's really noticeable when I press on it or when I cough. I've already seen three ENT specialists who all gave me antibiotics, but they seemed to make it worse. Recently, another doctor gave me these tabletslevocetirizine, ambroxol, and montelukastand they help, but the pain comes back as soon as I stop taking them. I'm starting to get really worried and just don't know what to do at this point. Any advice on what this might be or what steps I should take next?
