I've been dealing with this bothersome phlegm stuck in the back of my throat and it's not going away. I've tried gargling but it hasn't worked and now there's also this unpleasant odor coming from my mouth. What can I do to get rid of it?

It sounds like you might be dealing with post-nasal drip or mucus buildup in the throat. Try drinking warm water with honey and lemon to soothe the throat, and consider using a saline nasal spray or steam inhalation to help clear the mucus. If it persists, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying infections or conditions.

I'm waking up every morning with a sore throat, and I notice white mucus, plus my mouth and lips feel really dry. On top of that, I'm getting pain in my teeth and jaw, and feeling fatigued, with headaches sometimes. What could be causing all these symptoms?
May indicate symptoms of a possible sinus infection or post-nasal drip. I recommend taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the mucus production and throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages and relieve dryness. For the pain in your teeth and jaw, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and get adequate rest to help with fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
