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.

View allI've been diagnosed with sinus disease and my doctor recommended FESS surgery but I haven't tried any first-line antibiotics yet except montek LC. My symptoms are PND, stuffy nose, and sore throat but no major pain or discomfort. Is surgery really necessary without exploring other treatments first?
It's generally recommended to explore non-surgical treatments for sinus disease before considering FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery). While FESS can be effective for chronic sinusitis when other treatments fail, it's not typically the first approach.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing this weird burnt plastic smell and taste whenever she eats anything. It's like everything just tastes and smells like plastic to her, and raw veggies seem to be the worst. This all started about two weeks ago, and she doesn't have a cold, cough, or fever or anything like that. Now she's also feeling some pain in her left lower jaw since yesterday. Do you have any idea what this might be? Who should we talk to about getting this checked out?
Chia seeds do not directly stop periods, but they may help regulate menstrual cycles due to their high fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content. Delayed periods can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Since you've already taken Deviry and pregnancy tests are negative, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.
