Question

I'm curious about this recurring pain I've been experiencing around my throat and jaw. It happens about once a month and it really hurts, especially when I touch it from outside or move my head. A doctor mentioned it might be due to tonsillitis, but I don't have that sore throat feeling inside. It's only on the outside of my throat and jaw area. Could this really be tonsillitis, or could it be something else entirely?

Detection of thyroid nodules can be concerning. Since your thyroid function tests (TFTs) are normal, it's a good sign. Next steps: - Consult an endocrinologist or a thyroid specialist. - Discuss Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) or ultrasound-guided biopsy to determine the nature of the nodules. - Follow-up appointments will help monitor the nodules' size and characteristics. Stay calm, and follow your doctor's guidance.

Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat since last week, and it was really red. My uvula got swollen, and it felt like it was touching my tongue. Now I'm feeling better, but my uvula still looks bigger than usual, and the tip seems black. Plus, my right tonsil is a bit swollen. Should I be worried about these symptoms?

Can using nasal saline spray really help protect us from getting infected by black fungus? I'm curious about how this works and if it's something I should consider.
