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 had this uncomfortable feeling because a chicken bone got stuck in my throat. I tried eating a banana and some bread with butter, but it didn't really help. I went to the emergency doctor at the government hospital, and they advised me to see a specialist the next day. After an X-ray, they said there was no bone in my throat, but now it's been six days and I'm still feeling pain in my throat and ear. Another doctor gave me azithromycin 500 mg and brufen, but I'm not getting any relief. What should I do next?

take azithromycin for 3 days, drink oral fluids.

I'm concerned about what's happening with the lymph node under my left jaw. It's swollen, it hurts, and seems to be getting bigger each day. I'm not sure what might be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm dealing with some pretty bad swelling just below the right side of my jaw, and I'm wondering if it's because of tonsilitis. Is this something serious? The pain in my throat is terrible, and swallowing is almost unbearable right now. I've started on augmentin, reswas, and hexidime gargle on my doctor's advice. Any ideas on how long this swelling might last or if I should be more worried?
