I'm having some issues with my voice. Sometimes, people can't hear me well, and other times it sounds like my voice splits into two different tonesone thin and one thick. It's been quite confusing, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could it be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing voice changes. This could be due to various reasons such as vocal strain, throat infections, or other underlying medical conditions. To help improve your voice quality, you can try using lozenges like Strepsils for soothing the throat and reducing inflammation. Additionally, you can use steam inhalation with menthol (such as Vicks) to help with any congestion or irritation in the throat. If the issue persists, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

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: 1. *Lymphadenitis*: Inflamed lymph nodes due to infection (e.g., ear, throat, or dental issues). 2. *Parotid gland swelling*: Inflammation of the parotid gland, which can be caused by infection, blockage, or trauma. 3. *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: 1. Physical examination 2. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) 3. Blood tests to check for infection or inflammation In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce pain and discomfort.

I've had this cold and cough going on since last Thursday, and my doctor put me on Azitab 500 for five days. I took a Covid test on Monday, and thankfully it came back negative. But now, since Tuesday, I can't smell or taste anything properly. It's frustrating because all I can taste is this constant sour flavor. Do you think I should get tested for Covid again?
Patient is advised to continue tab azitab 500mg for 5 days.
