Sure, I've noticed that every time I kiss my partner for more than five minutes, I end up with a sore throat. It's been happening for the last three months, and I'm not sure why. I know I'm prone to tonsil infections - I get them easily from things like outside food, cold drinks, or even lack of sleep. But right now, my main worry is this recurring sore throat after kissing, which hits me within 30 to 60 minutes and sticks around for 4 to 5 days, or sometimes longer. It's been consistent since I first kissed her about three or four months ago. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to prevent it?

Consider getting tested for streptococcal infections or other bacterialviral causes, and discuss your recurring sore throat issues with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician, who may recommend preventive measures such as gargling with salt water, using a humidifier, or taking immune-boosting supplements, and also consider discussing your concerns with your partner, as it's possible that you may be transmitting infections back and forth, and taking steps to maintain good oral hygiene and safe kissing practices.

View allI'm really puzzled about this swollen lymph node I've had for 4 months. It's not changing in size at all and sometimes it hurts around my neck where it's swollen. Otherwise, I'm feeling healthy but I've noticed some weird stuff lately. Occasionally, I find what looks like black hair in my phlegm and at times, it's this greenish or greyish color. Plus, there's a kind of pressure in my throat and around my shoulder or neck blade when I take a deep breath. This all seemed to start after I got Covid in April. I also experience daily neck and back pain, probably because of my job, but I'm not completely sure if it's related. I'm just trying to understand what could be causing the swollen lymph node. Could you help me figure this out?

I've been dealing with a constant, light phlegm in my throat for about 4 months now. It all started back during the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown when I used a tissue between my kerchief and nose for 2 days while on duty. By the third day, I had chest and throat pain, and the phlegm got worse. I've stopped using tissues, but the phlegm issue didn't go away. I visited a couple of medical shops, but the medicines they gave me like Amoxycillin, Intase Incoff Forte, Histan B, Kuffdryl, and Amorax didnt really help. Now, apart from those first two days, I havent had any chest or throat pain, no sneezes or runny nose. It's just that the phlegm keeps coming, and sometimes I have to cough it up and spit it out almost every minute. Its not thick or green. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
take syrup ascoril 5ml twice daily, drink hot water only
