I'm dealing with a recurring ulcer that always seems to pop up in the same spot, and it's getting pretty big. At the same time, the lymph node on that side swells up too, and this has happened more than a couple of times over the past six months. I'm really worried it might be mouth cancer. How can I find out what's going on? What do you think?

it could be GERD - Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better.
- Reduce Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food
- Avoid Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day
- Exercise regularly
- Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters
- AvoidStop smoking and drinking if you have the habit
- Reduce stress through methods such as yogameditation.
- Avoid painkillers as it will increase your gastric problems at this moment.

View allI've been dealing with a dry cough for over a month now, and it never seemed to completely go away. Now it's back with that annoying metallic taste in my mouth, and I even had a fever yesterday. I've been trying some home remedies like gargling and taking honey with ginger, thinking it's just a regular throat infection. I'm curious if there's something more going on or if there's anything else I should be doing to get better?
That could be recurrent or allergic pharyngitis,identify the cause and try to avoid it, no need to worry its common to get reinfected at an interval of one month,consume good food for better immunity.

I've had cervical lymphadenopathy for over 6 years with multiple lumps in my neck that haven't grown much recently. No biopsy or FNAC has been done yet, and I'm unsure if it's serious. I can't afford expensive surgery right now are there any other options to reduce or get rid of these lumps without breaking the bank?
needs P/E for better advice.
