I've been noticing these bubbles at the back of my throat and on the back of my tongue, close to where my throat starts. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck back there, but it's not painful, just kind of uncomfortable. I've tried using salt water, but it doesn't seem to do much. Any idea what I should do about this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can help improve your symptoms. If the discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm having trouble taking a deep breath; it feels like something's blocking the air near my throat. I saw a pulmonologist and had a PFT test, which came back normal. The doctor prescribed a deltone tablet, but after a week, there's no improvement. I'm really worried about this and would appreciate any guidance on what might be going on. How can I start breathing freely again?
