A couple of weeks ago i had bad laryngitis, i got rid of it within a couple of weeks. Today i woke up with a sore throat and i thought it was just because i was sleeping with my mouth open. I had a drink to rehydrate my throat but it was still sore. A couple of hours later its still very sore, and burning a little ( my throat burnt a lot when i had laryngitis before) and it is hurting to swallow, talk and shout, the same as when i had...

I've been getting this for a couple of years - it's like feeling a pulse in my ears which is in time with my heartbeat. It mainly happens when I go to bed (or maybe I'm more aware of it then).

I wake up through the night with an excessively dry mouth and sip water to ease the...

I can hear my own voice it sounds like its booming when I speak, sometimes it feels like I'm shouting yet others tell me I'm mumbling. It...

i too suffer from chronic phlegm. i hate it and i dont know where it appeared from. i had pleurisy 6 years ago and have never been the same since. it was interesting to read the comment on red wine, i do drink it and have never given thought to the sulphite contents. clearing my throat constantly is depressing and annoys everyone around me. it is especially annoying at meetings or social events. my doctors only advise has been to stop...
