I'm dealing with a wet throat pretty often lately and sometimes I get a cough in the morning or evening. I saw a general physician, did a chest X-ray, blood test, and spit test, and everything came back normal. I've been on medicine for 10 days, but I don't feel like it's getting any better. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation, as a wet throat and persistent cough despite normal tests and medication may indicate underlying conditions like acid reflux, postnasal drip, or allergies; the ENT specialist can perform a thorough examination, potentially using endoscopy or allergy testing, to identify the root cause and recommend targeted treatment.

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?

I've got a throat infection, and I'm wondering if azibact and cepodem have the same ingredients. Is it safe to switch from one to the other, especially if I'm dealing with something like follicular tonsillitis?

Azibact contains Azithromycin, while Cepodem contains Cefpodoxime. They belong to different classes of antibiotics and have different compositions. For throat infection or follicular tonsillitis, Azithromycin (Azibact) is commonly used. Cefpodoxime (Cepodem) may also be effective for these conditions, but it is not typically the first choice. It is important to follow the specific dosage and duration as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I've been having these really painful mouth and throat ulcers. Drinking water feels impossible because it hurts so much, but oddly enough, eating doesn't seem to bother me as much. I'm just kind of worried and wondering what might be going on. Is there anything I can do to help relieve the pain, or should I be concerned about something more serious?

You seem to be suffering from apthous ulcer of the mouth and throat. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use symptomatic treatment such as painkillers and anesthetic local applications for few day
