I've been having this sharp pin-pricking sensation in my throat whenever I swallow saliva. It usually happens the first time after it goes away, but then the same pain comes back after a little while. It's been like this for the past two weeks. Could you tell me what's going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm having a really hard time swallowing anything, even my own saliva, since yesterday. Im a bit worried because a few days ago I had a throat infection and a cold, but was feeling better last week. Plus, I ate some really hot food yesterday and Im not sure if that messed things up again. Could that be causing my throat pain?

Question

I've noticed some white pus in the back of my throat near my tonsils, but it doesnt hurt at all. It kinda feels like something is stuck there. Should I see an ENT specialist about this?

Question

I've noticed for the past couple of months theres a bit of swelling under my jaw and around the sternocleidomastoid muscle. I'm a bit worried and wondering what might be going on. Do you have any advice on how I can treat it?
