I've been dealing with this gurgling noise in my throat, along with a stuffed nose and I'm constantly trying to clear my throat. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and do you have any idea what might be causing them? It's been really bothering me.

I have thyroid issues and I've been on thyronorm 100 mg daily. I only have two days left of this medicine. I went to the doctor and they said to switch to levothyroxine 100 mg. Are these medicines the same or different? Could you please advise me?

Both are same follow your doctor advice.

I'm dealing with a sore throat that comes and goes. I do smoke a bit like one or two cigarettes a day, but it's not a lot. Can I take cefix 200 even though it expired last month?

No you can't take that medicine.

I've been having this sore throat for the past day, and it really hurts when I sleep or take a sip of water. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm starting to worry a bit. Could this be a sign of something I should be concerned about, or maybe something I need to do to make it better?

Throat pain that worsens during sleep and while drinking water could be due to inflammation or infection. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (e.g., Cepacol) to help numb the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists for more than a few days or if you develop other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider.
