I'm experiencing this weird sensation where whenever I drink water, I feel a cold sensation in the right side of my chest. It's been happening for about a month now, along with moderate chest pain that comes and goes, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. I'm getting a bit worried about what this could mean. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid from the stomach can irritate the chest and throat. The sensation of something stuck in your throat could be due to acid reflux affecting the esophagus. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss possible treatments like antacids or lifestyle changes.

I'm dealing with a lot of phlegm in my throat and lungs, which is making me cough a lot. I recently had laser fissurectomy and haemorrhoidopexy, and I'm already taking a lot of antibiotics. Every time I cough, it hurts, especially near the surgery area. I've been using Syp. Ascoril LS, 5ml three times a day for the past three days, and while it's helped a bit, I'm not completely better yet. Do you have any suggestions for a syrup that can help clear the phlegm and ease the cough without causing more pain?
