I'm experiencing some pain in my throat that's been going on for about two weeks now. It only hurts when I swallow saliva, but not when I'm eating or drinking anything. The pain seems to come and go, and there's no pain when I move my neck. I don't have a cough or anything, but when I'm distracted or busy, I sometimes don't notice it as much. I'm really concerned and a bit scared that it might be something serious like throat cancer. Could you help me understand what could be causing this?

I'm really struggling with tinnitus and I'm desperate to find a solution. It's been about 4 months now and I've already tried Otocap, Goonj Forte, Lecope, and Cefakind 250, but they only helped reduce the sound by about 50%. My tinnitus started from depression, high blood pressure, and constipation. I'm curious if there's any doctor in India who's successfully treated someone with tinnitus and they fully recovered. I've attached my audiogram report too. Can you share any advice or experiences with treatments that really worked?

I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow or drink water, it feels like something's lodged right in the middle. It's weird because I don't notice it while I'm eating, but afterwards, that sensation comes back. Also, I've noticed these small pink pimple-like bumps towards the back of my tongue. What's going on with me?

drink hot water regularly, avoid spicy food.take tab.b complex for atleast 5 days

I'm dealing with regular throat infections and I'm not sure what I should stay away from or what I should eat on a daily basis to help with it. Are there any medicines or maybe some kind of chewables or syrups that I should consider using regularly? I'm really looking for some advice on how to manage this.

Given the persistent, intermittent jaw pain and normal X-ray results, consider the following next steps: - Consult a dentist to rule out dental issues (e.g., TMJ disorder, tooth grinding) - Schedule an appointment with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for further evaluation - Discuss with your ENT specialist about potential referrals to other specialists (e.g., neurologist, rheumatologist) While the pain may not be severe, it's essential to investigate the underlying cause to prevent potential complications. Possible causes: - Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder - Bruxism (teeth grinding) - Jaw misalignment - Nerve issues - Arthritis or other inflammatory conditions
