Hey, I've been noticing this weird thing happening lately. Sometimes, these white, grainy bits with a really bad smell come out of my mouth. They've shown up quite a few times now. When I press them, they just fall apart. Any idea what this could be?

View allI'm having some issues with my voice, both when I talk and sing. It feels like there's a weakness in my voice box, even when I'm not speaking. There's also pain when I do talk or sing. My voice tires easily, and it's losing its depth and clarity it sounds faint and a bit muffled. Plus, hitting high notes takes a lot more effort than it used to. These issues used to happen rarely over the last year, but in the past three months, they've become more consistent. I've tried taking Oratil and Azee tablets, but they haven't helped. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my voice?

I've noticed a small lump on the right side, right in the middle of my neck. It's kind of concerning because it hurts when I touch it, and I can only really feel it when I press the area. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this and what I should do about it. Any advice?
