Well, we've gotten to the post-nasal drip part of the year, which puts an unpleasant smell in my nose.

"They say drip or drown, but what about drip AND drown?" I ask before coughing up a bunch of slime that leaked from my nose.

How is Swallowing Affected by Postnasal Drip?
Tumblr media
Swallowing problems may result in an accumulation of solids or liquids in the throat that may complicate or feel like post-nasal drip. When the nerves and muscles in the mouth, throat, and food passage (esophagus) aren’t interacting properly, overflow secretions can spill into the voice box (larynx) and breathing passages (trachea and bronchi), causing hoarseness, throat clearing, or coughing.
Several factors contribute to swallowing problems:
With age, swallowing muscles often lose strength and coordination, making it difficult for even normal secretions to pass smoothly into the stomach.
During sleep, swallowing occurs much less frequently, and secretions may gather. Coughing and vigorous throat clearing are often needed upon waking.
When nervous or under stress, throat muscles can trigger spasms that make it feel as if there is a lump in the throat. Frequent throat clearing, which usually produces little or no mucus, can make the problem worse by increasing irritation.
Growths or swelling in the food passage can slow or prevent the movement of liquids and/or solids.
Swallowing problems may also be caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This is a backup of stomach contents and acid into the esophagus or throat. Heartburn, indigestion, and sore throat are common symptoms. GERD may be aggravated by lying down, especially following eating. Hiatal hernia, a pouch-like tissue mass where the esophagus meets the stomach, often contributes to the reflux.
How is the Throat Affected by Post-Nasal Drip? Post-nasal drip often leads to a sore, irritated throat. Although there is usually no infection, the tonsils and other tissues in the throat may swell. This can cause discomfort or a feeling that there is a lump in the throat. Successful treatment of the post-nasal drip will usually clear up these throat symptoms.

Today’s materia medica tip is about a remedy named Lemna minor.

*coughs a couple of times to foreshadow that I won't last until the end of the story and I exist to further the narrative and set up motivations for the main cast, a choice that will be very divisive amongst the fanbase*

"Gee I wonder what made this bug start going around" says the teacher who just coughed all over the white board without even bothering to shield it. "Yeah it's weird" says the student that sneezed into their hand and wiped it off on the chair

Woke up yesterday with a scratchy throat. Throughout the day it got progressively worse. Ended up finding out 2 ppl in the house were sick and neglected to tell me so I can avoid them.
