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?

I've had this tiny white spot at the back of my right tonsil for about 10 days now. I first went to a general doctor who said it was a bacterial infection and gave me an antibiotic, Poxivio 200, but it didnt help. So, I saw an ENT specialist. He said its just food debris and removed a small part of it, but it hasn't all gone away. He mentioned not removing all of it to avoid blood loss and just told me to do warm gargles and take Zadonase tablets. Should I be worried about this spot hanging around?

It sounds like the white spot at the back of your right tonsil is likely due to food debris, as mentioned by the ENT specialist. The tablet Zadonase prescribed by the ENT specialist can help with any inflammation or infection in the area. Additionally, warm gargles can help alleviate any discomfort and promote healing. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment and continue with the warm gargles as advised. If the white spot does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it would be best to follow up with the ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about my health and could use some advice. I've been smoking hookah and cigarettes daily, and I'm starting to notice that I've got a constant sore throat and this white coating on my tongue. Could these habits be causing these issues? I just want to be sure if there's something I should be doing differently. What do you think?

Yes, smoking hookah or cigarettes every day can lead to chronic sore throats and a white coat on the tongue. The chemicals and toxins in tobacco smoke can irritate the throat, leading to inflammation and soreness. Additionally, smoking can also disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the mouth, resulting in a white coating on the tongue. To help alleviate these symptoms, it is important to quit smoking and maintain good oral hygiene.
