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?

I've been feeling like there's an air bubble stuck in my throat for the last couple of weeks, and it's not going away. There's also a lump on one of my tonsils and it seems bigger than usual. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?

The persistent air bubble sensation in your throat and the enlarged tonsil lump warrant medical attention; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist
