I've been experiencing this persistent pain in my throat for two days now. It hurts when I swallow saliva, eat, or even drink water. I'm really not sure what's causing it or how to make it go away. Could you give me some advice on how I might be able to ease this pain?

You may be experiencing a throat infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help reduce the pain and inflammation. Additionally, lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol can help numb the throat and provide relief. Gargling with warm salt water multiple times a day can also help soothe the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI've been dealing with some pain on the left side of my forehead, right above my eyebrow, for about a month now. Sometimes I notice a little bit of blood in my snot too. On top of that, I often feel like I need to sneeze, but I just can't seem to. What could be going on? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing sinusitis. I recommend taking a combination of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine to help with the pain and congestion. You can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain, and Pseudoephedrine 60mg every 4-6 hours as needed for congestion. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help with the blood in your snot and the urge to sneeze. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm really struggling with a persistent mucus issue that's been going on for about 8 years, which feels unreal to me. Lately, it's gotten worse with this smooth white mucus constantly forming in my throat. I find myself needing to clear it out every few minutes which triggers coughing too. I'm worried and could really use some guidance on what might be happening and how to manage this. Could you help with some advice?
It might be due to continuously ongoing irritation in oral cavity... You should also be examined for any respiratory Tract infection...
