I'm noticing a small hard lump on the side of my neck, and it just appeared a day ago. I'm a bit worried because I've had throat and ear infections in the past. Plus, I smoke and drink. Could this lump be something related to my medical history? Also, which type of doctor should I see for this?

View allI'm looking for some advice regarding my mom's snoring issue. She's 54 and has been struggling with snoring at night for quite some time now. Do you know of any effective anti-snoring tablets or medicines that might help? I'm really worried about her getting a good night's sleep.
Persistent sore throat can be concerning. Given your smoking history and recent cessation, consider: - Post-nasal drip or acid reflux irritating the throat - Dry air or allergies exacerbating discomfort - Residual inflammation from previous infection To alleviate dryness and discomfort: - Stay hydrated with plenty of water - Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air - Suck on lozenges or cough drops to stimulate saliva production - Avoid spicy or acidic foods and drinks Consult your doctor for further guidance and to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm noticing some vertical purple veins next to my tonsils and the back of my throat looks inflamed. There's also a mild pain when I swallow. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that can resolve on its own?
You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
