I've been dealing with a bad cold I caught about three weeks ago. It seems like the main infection cleared up, but I'm still experiencing this choking sensation in my throat, although it happens off and on. I can feel some phlegm sitting there, but swallowing isn't an issue. My breathing is fine too, and I only really cough to try and clear my throat. Should I be worried about this lingering issue, or is it normal after a cold?

Its common to experience lingering throat discomfort or mucus production after a cold, and it sounds like youre on the road to recovery. Keep practicing hydration, using a humidifier, and potentially using saline sprays to help clear your sinuses. If the symptoms persist or become bothersome, a follow-up with your healthcare provider might be necessary to make sure theres no underlying issue, like post-viral inflammation or infection.

View allI've been smoking a bit of weed for the past four years, not a lot, but consistently. Lately, I've had a cold, and now every morning I wake up with a really dry throat and this burning sensation. I'm not sure if it's just because of the cold or if the weed is causing it too. Is there a risk of developing serious throat issues from using weed frequently?
Yes its because of weed you are facing dryness,stop using weed and stay hydrated .
