I've been experiencing this weird tightness in my neck along with a sore throat that comes and goes. It's been almost a week now, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Sometimes I feel it pretty strongly, and other times it's not there at all. What could be going on?

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 63. He's having this problem where there's a strong smell, like mucous, when he breathes out, both from his mouth and nose. He's never been into drinking alcohol or smoking, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand what's causing this and maybe recommend a good mouthwash or something that might help with his breathing?
