I'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my throat that started last May. I had an endoscopy, but nothing showed up. The pain eased for a while, but now it's back. It's really painful under my tongue, especially deep on the left side, almost like a sore. The rest of my tongue feels fine. I'm kind of worried and just need to understand what might be going on. Can you help me figure this out?

A lump between the ear and jaw can be concerning!
Given your age and symptoms, possible causes include:
- Lymphadenitis: Inflamed lymph nodes due to infection (e.g., ear, throat, or dental issues).
- Parotid gland swelling: Inflammation of the parotid gland, which can be caused by infection, blockage, or trauma.
- Abscess or cyst: A collection of pus or fluid that can cause pain and swelling.
It's essential to consult a doctor, preferably an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend:
- Physical examination
- Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan)
- Blood tests to check for infection or inflammation
In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce pain and discomfort.

View allI woke up yesterday with a weird thing happening. When I tried to clear my throat, like ahkkk, and spat it out, I noticed some blood stains. Then I checked in the mirror and saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck at the back of my throat. I was freaking out. It didn't bleed after that until the evening when I saw another blob stuck there, but it didn't come out. I'm super anxious about this. Am I okay, or is something serious going on? I noticed my nose is often dry, and when I clean it, there's some blood. Plus, I've got burping and acidity issues and have been having trouble speaking loudly or even wanting to talk much. I've had a sore throat for the past ten days too. What's happening with me?

I've been having this issue where I wake up every morning with a runny nose and just nonstop sneezing, and sometimes it even happens at night before I drift off to sleep. It's been happening for a few months now, and I'm starting to feel a bit worried. Is there something wrong with me? Should I be concerned? And how can I get rid of this for good?
That could be allergic Rhinitis take levocitrizine at bedtime for few days, maintain healthy lifestyle avoid triggering factors.

I've had a hoarse voice for 4 months and was diagnosed with vocal cord polyps. The doctor prescribed meds for 10 days and suggested a voice test. Will my voice return to normal in 10 days or would I need surgery to get it back to normal
It's unlikely your voice will return to normal within 10 days of medication for vocal cord polyps. While medication can help reduce inflammation and swelling, complete recovery often requires more time and potentially other treatments like voice therapy or, in some cases, surgery to remove the polyps. The voice test is likely to assess the extent of the problem and guide further treatment.
