Question 3

I'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my throat that started last May. I had an endoscopy, but nothing showed up. The pain eased for a while, but now it's back. It's really painful under my tongue, especially deep on the left side, almost like a sore. The rest of my tongue feels fine. I'm kind of worried and just need to understand what might be going on. Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

A lump between the ear and jaw can be concerning!

Given your age and symptoms, possible causes include:

1. *Lymphadenitis*: Inflamed lymph nodes due to infection (e.g., ear, throat, or dental issues).
2. *Parotid gland swelling*: Inflammation of the parotid gland, which can be caused by infection, blockage, or trauma.
3. *Abscess or cyst*: A collection of pus or fluid that can cause pain and swelling.

It's essential to consult a doctor, preferably an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend:

1. Physical examination
2. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan)
3. Blood tests to check for infection or inflammation

In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce pain and discomfort.

according to my opinion you have to consult ENT speciality for the same
