I'm experiencing some discomfort on the left side of my throat every time I drink water or swallow saliva, but it doesn't hurt when I'm eating. The pain is lower in my neck, and I don't have any fever or cold symptoms. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I could do about it?

View allMy mom has a CSF leak from her right nose. The ENT surgeon recommends surgery, but the general medicine and critical care doctors say it's not urgent and suggest getting a third opinion from a neurologist or another ENT specialist. She's on medication now and showing some improvement compared to before. Should we go ahead with the endoscopic surgery or wait to see if it heals on its own?
Given the differing opinions and your mother's improving condition, it's wise to delay the surgery and explore conservative treatment options. The ENT surgeon's recommendation for surgery is one option, but the general medicine and critical care doctors suggest a less urgent approach and seeking a second or third opinion. Since the condition is improving, a period of observation and conservative treatment is warranted.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a sore throat that just won't go away. It's been hard to swallow and it feels like it's below the tonsils, around the throat wall under the palatopharyngeal arch. I can't usually see anything unless I look really closely. It's been a month now, and I'm getting pretty scared. What could this be?
Based on your description of a sore throat with mild swallowing difficulty located below the tonsils and below the palatopharyngeal arch, it may be due to a throat infection. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin (brand name: Amoxil) 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help relieve the soreness. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
