I've been having these really painful mouth and throat ulcers. Drinking water feels impossible because it hurts so much, but oddly enough, eating doesn't seem to bother me as much. I'm just kind of worried and wondering what might be going on. Is there anything I can do to help relieve the pain, or should I be concerned about something more serious?

I've quit smoking about 40 days ago, and in the beginning, I had a lot of ENT pain, stomach issues, a really bad cough, and it felt heavy when I breathed. Things have gotten a bit better, but I'm still having throat pain, some swelling behind my ear, heaviness in my chest, and it hurts when I swallow, plus there's ear pain too. Are these normal withdrawal symptoms, or could it be something else I should worry about?

Yes these could be withdrawl symptoms,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate help
