I'm wondering if I should be rinsing my mouth after I gargle with salt water. Is that necessary? And how long should I be gargling for each time, or how much should I be using altogether?

Question

Can using nasal saline spray really help protect us from getting infected by black fungus? I'm curious about how this works and if it's something I should consider.

I've been drinking buttermilk for the last couple of weeks and since then, I've developed a cold. Whenever I try to clear my throat, I end up with mehendi-colored phlegm, and if I push too hard, there's sometimes a bit of blood in it. My throat hurts so much that I can't swallow anything. What should I do next?

Question

I've been having this weird sensation like there's something stuck in my throat for the past few days. There's a sharp pain whenever I swallow, which is pretty uncomfortable even though I can still do everything else fine. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if there's anything I can do to make it go away. Any advice?
