See ur Dr. 4 answers: Dr. Jacobson is right. If it's still festering after 4 weeks with no relief, it's time to see your doctor for intervention, and referral to our ent. Best to stay away from dairy, and sugary foods as they often produce more phlegm, and mucous. Also, make sure that you have adequate humidity, and hydration (drinking purified water), and less processed foods too. Your doctor will know what to do.
