I'm dealing with a sore throat that really bothers me at night, but it gets a bit better from morning to afternoon. There's no fever or anything like that. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on my exams because of this. What can I do to ease the discomfort?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a viral infection causing your sore throat. To help relieve your symptoms and focus on your exams, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) or ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) for pain relief. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges or gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat. It's also important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and get enough rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm about 20 days post-SeptoplastyMMA surgery and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start wearing a mask. Should I be looking for any specific type of mask or will any mask work?
Given the persistent symptoms, it's essential to consult a specialist. Schedule an appointment with an: - ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat) - Gastroenterologist (for potential GERD) Before the appointment, prepare by: - Writing down symptoms and duration - Tracking triggers and relieving factors - Gathering medical history and previous treatments A thorough examination and diagnostic tests (e.g., endoscopy, pH monitoring) will help determine the underlying cause.

I'm a 27-year-old male, and something really strange has been happening for the past two days. When I try to inflate my mouth like I'm blowing up a balloon, this little area in my right jaw puffs up too. It's a super weird sensation, something I've never felt before. And when I massage the area right below my right ear, I can hear a kind of air bubble popping sound. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
The unusual sensation of a pocket inflating in your right jaw when filling air in your mouth, accompanied by an air-bubble-popping sound when massaging the area, may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a blocked salivary gland, or a rare condition like pneumoparotitis; consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been experiencing some swelling and pain in the right side of my neck for about a month now. I got an FNAC test done, but I'm struggling to understand the results. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my lymph node? I'm getting a bit worried.
kindly refer to a surgeon
