I've been having this issue with my throat for a while nowabout three months. Whenever I drink water, I get this weird pain, but it's totally fine when I swallow food. It's starting to really bother me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this or what I could do to make it stop?

I'm dealing with some really bad throat pain and I'm not sure what to do. Can I use Ciprofloxacin 500 for it, or is levofloxacin a better option? I'm having a tough time with this pain and would appreciate any advice you could give me. Its pretty unbearable right now.

ciprofloxacin 500

I'm a 27-year-old male nurse working in the surgery OT and I've been smoking cigarettes for the last 8 years. For the past 4 months, I've had granular pharyngitis and even after taking all the prescribed meds, it hasn't gone away. Now for the last month, I've been experiencing chest tightness could this be related to my throat issue or the smoking? What should I do next?
