Question

I'm really worried because I can see my epiglottis and it seems like it's always visible. Ive been dealing with allergic bronchitis and lately I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, although it doesn't actually hurt. However, I've developed a throat infection over the last week. Is it normal for my epiglottis to be visible all the time? I'm pretty scared about this. What should I do?

Question

I have this lump on my neck that I've noticed for about a month now. I've already done FNAC twice. The first result said it was lymphadenitis and the second one mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid. I'm really concerned about whether I might need surgery for this. Could you please advise?

Question

I've been struggling with this sore throat for about a month now, and it's really starting to worry me. I've been on clavam 625 and signoflam for three days, but honestly, I don't see much of a difference. Im also doing steam inhalations and gargling, but those only help for a little while. What do you think I should do next?
