I'm having a lot of discomfort in my throat whenever I eat or drink. It started about two days ago, and it feels like theres something blocking my throat on one side. But now, it's gotten worse and much more painful, and I feel it in three different areas. I looked at it in the mirror, and it seems like the hole at the base of my tongue has become narrower and more reddish. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

View allI recently visited a Neurologist because I've been having headaches. The doctor did an MRI scan and luckily they didnt find any abnormalities in my brain. However, they did see some mild mucosal thickening in my bilateral maxillary sinuses. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what this means for my health. Could you explain what's going on and what kind of treatment I might need?
The finding of mild mucosal thickening in your maxillary sinuses likely indicates sinus congestion, which is usually manageable with supportive care like nasal sprays, hydration, and decongestants. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your doctor for further evaluation and possible treatments.

I'm doing gargling and taking steam every day. Today, I had my COVID-19 test because my parents tested positive. I don't have any symptoms, but about an hour after the test, I started spitting blood mixed with saliva, and it happened about ten times. Could this be because of the throat swab test since they took my sample from the throat?
Yes that could be due to throat swab test no need to worry you can ignore it,consume warm food aand maintain healthy life style

I've been having neck pain since last week and even had a fever for one night. When I sleep, I usually have some discomfort, so I tried going without a pillow, which helped for a few days. I've also been sleeping under a fan at night. Today, I noticed a lump in my tonsil area on the left side of my neck, and theres pain on the right side, but the swelling is only on the left. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this and how I can treat it. Any insights you can provide?
Fever that lasts for several days. Difficulty swallowing or breathing. If the lump gets larger or more painful over time. If there are any new lumps or unexplained symptoms that arise. get it evaluated by a doctor
