i am in very poor health. my throat is very soar and my chest feels full.when i breath or swallow there is a taste i have never tasted before. it tasted like posion. the limp note is swollen on the right side and I have taken 3 different antibodies in the last 5 weeks. i do cough alot and my voice has changed and never fully come back in the last 2 weeks. although i am coughing all i can get out of my chest is a watery type of bubblely spit. if you could help me as to what this could be please. i did read some of the other post and i seen the one where numbness of the face is a sign of throat cancer. 2 years ago the left side of my face went numb for over a month and the doctor couldn't tell my why. i am 36 and have smoked since i was 18. in the past 2 years i switched to little cigars.

I think your lungs are full of secretion which you must get rid of, you should buy some medications for releasing this secretion the sooner the better, it shouldn’t be accumulating there for so long, it could cause you further problems.
You should have a hot inhalation with menthol, this should help a bit with making the secretion go out of the lungs.
As the matter of sore throat and thinking that you have a throat cancer or something, you can’t say you have it unless you notice some dark red or white patches in your mouth, I know these are the symptom for oral cancer. I think the sore throat is just inflamed due to some viral infection and if antibiotics haven’t cured it maybe you should consult your doctor about some penicillin injections or something. Maybe this will be of more help.
What you surely shouldn’t do is smoking as long as you are not totally cured.
