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?

View allI've been struggling with a sore throat and difficulty swallowing for the last couple of days. It's also becoming hard to talk, and I've noticed a dry cough coming and going. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be worried about anything serious?
If you're experiencing severe swelling after an ant bite, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime: 1. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. 2. Elevate the affected area. 3. Avoid scratching or rubbing. If you experience difficulty urinating, severe pain, or breathing issues, go to the emergency room.

I'm dealing with my tonsils swelling up every now and then, and it's really causing some pain in my throat. Could you help me figure out why this keeps happening and what might be causing the tonsils to swell like this?
Treatment includes warm salt gargles, pain relievers, and possibly antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected. If the pain persists, is severe, or is accompanied by fever, its best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with BPPV and it's been really tough. Every time I turn my head towards the left, it feels like the room is spinning and I lose my balance. I've seen two doctors about it. The first said there's no medication for this, but the second prescribed Valium 2 and Vertin 24 for a couple of weeks and suggested some tests. They also performed the Epley Maneuver and taught me how to do it at home. My schedule is pretty hectic since I work 23 days weekly, mostly overnight due to different time zones, and the doctor advised me not to stay up all night. I'm just really anxious about when this will get better because it's affecting my daily life and I'm worried about whether these medicines will help or if something more serious might happen.
BPPV can be uncomfortable and worrying, but with the right treatment (including the Epley Maneuver), most people recover fully. It may take some time, so try to be patient and follow your doctor's instructions. The medications you are taking are supportive in managing symptoms, but the physical therapy (Epley) is key to addressing the root cause. If the problem continues or worsens, dont hesitate to revisit your doctor for further advice.
