I've been having some pain on the right side of my neck whenever I yawn or chew, and I've heard it might be related to a cold, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it?

While yawning or chewing, pain on the right side of the neck could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dosage of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the neck muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with this scratchiness in my throat, almost like there's something stuck there, and it doesnt seem to go away. Hot water provides temporary relief, but the issue keeps coming back after a while. It's been ongoing for about three months, and I've tried medications like ZIFI AF, Citirizine, and Calpol for 10 days. There were moments when the meds helped, but the problem keeps resurfacing. What do you suggest I do next?

I recently started taking Mucolite SR for the sticky mucus at the back of my nose. I'm unsure whether it's better to take it in the morning before food or in the evening. Could you advise on the best time to take it? I'm really eager to know what would work best for my situation.
It can be taken at any time of the day as it is a sustained release and a long acting drug, take it your convince and stick to the same routine. You may notice increased secretions while taking mucolite to minimise it try taking Levo cetrizine before sleep to avoid irritation.

I've been experiencing some issues with my voiceits not coming out clearly and there's a bit of hoarseness. I visited an ENT specialist, and they mentioned something about a phonatory gap being the cause. I'm really keen to know, is there a permanent solution for this? Any advice would be appreciated.
