I'm really worried because for almost two years now, it feels like a lot of mucus is just building up in my mouth and throat, and it's like I constantly have to clear my throat. But lately, the past month or so, I've been feeling this burning sensation down my throat, especially when I breathe, and it's super bothersome. My throat and chest also feel really congested. I haven't had a fever, but it's been going on for so long now. What could be causing this?

It's been four days since I tested positive and my throat is really sore. It's so painful that even drinking water is tough. Could you suggest any remedy that might help with this?

To soothe a sore throat and make hydration easier, try these remedies: gargle with warm salt water (14 teaspoon salt in 8 ounces of water), use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, sip on warm, non-caffeinated liquids like tea or broth
