I'm noticing a yellowish color on the roof of my mouth, and it's been bothering me. I've also been having a persistent cough and there's this hard area up there that has me a bit concerned. Plus, my mouth has been feeling really dry lately. Do you think this might be something serious? I'm worried and could use some advice. I've attached a photo of the inside of my mouth for reference. Can you take a look?

Question

I've been dealing with this annoying tinnitus that just won't go away. I've tried Tinnex for about a week, but it didnt really help. Its been almost three months now, and both my ears keep on having this ringing sound. Sometimes, there's even a bit of pain. What should I do?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing some pain between my left ear and lower jaw, and sometimes it seems to travel up to my brain. Just today, I noticed a small lump at the back of my throat. Could this be oral cancer? I've been using cool lip tobacco for about 3.5 years now. Would really appreciate your thoughts.

Question

I've been dealing with this issue for about 10 months now, and it's really stressing me out. It all began with some pain in my neck, and I felt like there was a weird mass or something abnormal inside. I went to a doc in ST Jones Bangalore, and he suggested an ultrasound, which showed a submandibular gland infection. He put me on a 7-day antibiotic course, twice, but it didn't help. Then they did an FNAC, but nothing was found, and I got another round of antibiotics, still with no improvement. After that, the doc recommended a biopsy, so I went over to Manipal hospital for another opinion. There, another ultrasound was done, which now didn't show any gland issues but indicated a mild swelling in the lymph node. Again, I was given a 7-day antibiotic, and still, nothing's changed. I've been to the doctor four times now, and they're just giving me medicine. But my pain is getting worse every day, and I'm really scared that it might be something serious. The symptoms keep changing, too. Lately, I feel numbness on my left side and head and have trouble swallowing and chewing. Could you advise me on what to do next?
