I've been dealing with a runny nose for about three weeks now. Whenever I take my medication, it seems to get better, but as soon as I stop, it comes back. I'm currently on levocetirizine, montekast, Sinarest, metaspray, and nip-slip tablets. I'm worried this isn't going away. Could it be something I'm missing or not doing right?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you may have a narrow esophagus or a condition called esophageal dysmotility, which can cause food particles to get stuck. The feeling of something stuck in your throat, even after recovering from a sore throat, could be related to this. Tonsil stones can also cause discomfort. However, without examining the picture and considering your overall medical history, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I strongly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and guidance. They may perform an endoscopy or imaging tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.

View allI've been noticing these bubbles at the back of my throat and on the back of my tongue, close to where my throat starts. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck back there, but it's not painful, just kind of uncomfortable. I've tried using salt water, but it doesn't seem to do much. Any idea what I should do about this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can help improve your symptoms. If the discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm having this issue where I'm producing a lot of saliva while I'm sleeping, and it feels like my mouth and windpipe are just drying out, so I'm constantly having to swallow. It sometimes leads to saliva or mucus accidentally getting into my windpipe when I'm deeply asleep, and I wake up suddenly because I'm choking and can't breathe. It's really scary because I struggle for a bit before I can finally breathe normally again. It's making me afraid that I might actually choke in my sleep. Also, I've got this allergy to cough. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe what I can do about it?

I'm dealing with this persistent white, thick mucus in my throat, and I need to clear it often, but I don't have a runny nose. Its kinda annoying, and on top of that, I have some gastric issues. Could these things be connected, or what might be going on? It's been worrying me a bit.
The persistent white thick mucus in your throat, accompanied by the need to clear your throat frequently, and gastric issues, may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows up into the throat, causing irritation and mucus production, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist or ENT specialist to discuss treatment options, such as antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or lifestyle changes like dietary modifications and elevated head positioning during sleep.
