I noticed that the skin on my epiglottis is white when I looked in the mirror. Is it normal for the epiglottis to have white skin, or should I be worried about a potential disease?

I've been having this sore throat type of pain whenever I swallow my saliva. It's weird though because I'm not coughing or anything. But tonight, I noticed there was a bit of blood in my phlegm, just once though, and now I'm kind of freaking out. I'm not showing any other signs of being sick, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what this might be?

I've had this small lump on my neck for like 10 months now. I saw an ENT doc who said it's nothing to worry about. He did mention something about surgery, either now or later. My friend's dad had a similar lump, and their doctor insisted on surgery which cost them around 1 lac. Should I be worried about this lump even though there's no pain?

Yours might be a different scenario,do not worry but as your doctor suggested better to get it removed,follow their advice
