Question

I've recently noticed a lump above my Adam's apple, I've had it for about two weeks now. It feels a bit uncomfortable when I swallow. What could this be, and should I be concerned?

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this prickly sensation in my throat whenever I swallow or breathe for the last few hours. It's making me really anxious. Could this be something serious, or is it just a minor irritation that will go away on its own?

Question

I've been having this pain in the back of my throat for a while now, like 3 months, and even though Ive seen a few doctors, they didnt seem worried. But I finally saw a gastroenterologist who said I have reflux and also treated me for an intestine infection, which is better now. The chest pain's still there though, and he thought it might be osteochondritis but said it should go if the infection cleared up, which hasn't happened. Im mostly worried because I noticed really dark veins in my throat, and even after finishing a treatment for a throat infection a few days back, there's still some pain. Also, my ear started inflaming about 4 months ago, and while ibuprofen helped last month, it's bothering me again, especially at night. Could this all be connected somehow?

Question

I'm really struggling with a post-nasal drip that's been giving me a sore throat for the last few days. It's making it so hard to sleep because of the pressure in my ear. I've tried stuff like Strepsils and gargling with salt water, which helps a bit but doesn't last. I've also been taking 5ml of Ambroxol Hydrochloride at night and added Ascoril LS as well as Maxtra P over the last couple of days since I thought maybe that's what's causing the sore throat. I don't have a runny nose, but I'm living in a place that gets dusty even with window filters. I'm a bit allergic too... Could all this dust and stuff be part of the problem? What else can I try for some more long-term relief?
