I've been feeling a funny sensation in my throat. Theres no fever, cough, or cold, and Im not coughing up any mucus either. It's just this constant irritation, a sort of "kich kich" in the throat. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm feeling a bit worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing, and I could really use your advice. Lately, I've been noticing a pressure in my ears and a popping sound in my eustachian tube whenever I swallow. There's no pain involved, but there's this weird globus sensation in my throat that's painless too. On top of that, my nose feels clogged like it's dripping, and sometimes I get acid reflux. I've already checked for COVID, and the test came back negative, so I'm just curious if all these could be related somehow?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I'm down to just one cigarette a day, but it's causing me some pretty annoying throat pain and itching that lasts a while. A doctor gave me mucaine gel mint last year. Do you think it's cool to keep using that?

Yes you can use that gel but try to quit smoking as that is the triggering factor.

I was just wondering when it's safe to start smoking again after having a tonsillectomy. I'm on day 11 of my recovery and I'm feeling way better, with almost no pain now. I even stopped taking pain meds three days ago. Any advice?

better stop smoking completely
