Question

I've been dealing with throat pain for about 4 months now, and I've tried several medications for pharyngitis, but they haven't really worked. I recently switched to a new ENT doctor, and he prescribed more medicine for pharyngitis for 7 days. After taking it for just 2 days, I started having hiccups. For the past two days, I've been getting frequent hiccups every 2 to 3 hours, lasting around 10 to 15 minutes each time. I'm looking for some guidance on what might be causing this and how to prevent any issues. Any advice would be really helpful.

Should I be worried about this, or is it just some random thing that might sort itself out?

Question

I'm experiencing this pain right below my left ear and jaw area, and it's really uncomfortable. There's no pain in my teeth, but there's some swelling happening too. Could this possibly be mumps? I'm a bit worried and unsure about what it could be. What should I do?

Question

I'm noticing a small bump on my soft palate that comes and goes. Sometimes it disappears, but then it reappears. What's causing this?
