I've been dealing with something really annoying for a few months now. My throat just keeps producing phlegm nonstop, and it forces me to cough to clear it out. Its usually dark green in the morning and turns green during the day. Ive already seen three different doctors and tried antibiotics and other stuff, but nothing seems to help. What could be going on, and what should I do next?

I'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and my doctor prescribed Azithromycin 500 mg for 5 days. I'm a bit worried about taking antibiotics for that long. Is it really okay to take Azithromycin for 5 days straight? Does it help with throat infections, or should I be looking out for anything in particular while I'm on it?
Azithromycin 500mg is prescribed for 3 days for most bacterial infections, but a 5-day course may be recommended for certain conditions, such as streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat); since your doctor has prescribed it for 5 days for your throat infection, it's likely appropriate, but always follow their instructions and complete the full course.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation like there's water stuck in my throat, and it's been going on since yesterday. It's kinda freaking me out, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Is this something I should be worried about or maybe just a minor thing that'll pass? Any ideas on what this might be or how I could find some relief?
The sensation of having water stuck in your throat could be due to various reasons such as acid reflux, postnasal drip, or a swollen throat; try gargling with warm salt water, sipping warm tea, or taking antacids to alleviate the discomfort, and if the sensation persists, consult a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.
