Question

I've been smoking a bit of weed for the past four years, not a lot, but consistently. Lately, I've had a cold, and now every morning I wake up with a really dry throat and this burning sensation. I'm not sure if it's just because of the cold or if the weed is causing it too. Is there a risk of developing serious throat issues from using weed frequently?

Question

I'm still dealing with a runny nose even 25 days after testing positive for COVID. I actually started having this runny nose about a week before my test, so it's been over a month now. Throughout this time, I haven't had any other symptomsjust the runny nose. My doctor suggested I take MontairLC, and I've been on it for five days, but there's been no change. Is a runny nose normal after having COVID, or is this something more serious? Could it be a fungal infection? What should I do next?

I've been experiencing this strange issue where during the night, a water-like fluid seems to drip out of my nose, and it's been happening for the past three months. Along with this, I've also been dealing with a persistent cough. I'm starting to get worried and wonder what might be causing this. Could this be something serious or just a common problem that will go away on its own? Any insights or advice would be really appreciated.
