Question

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 42 and has been noticing a bit of blood when he spits, especially in the morning before he brushes his teeth. Any idea what might be causing this?

Question

I've been experiencing mild pain when I swallow, but talking seems fine. It also hurts a bit when I press on it firmly. I'm not sure if this is just passing, or maybe it's from a cut or something. Should I be concerned?

Question

Why does my throat always hurt when I drink cold water or have anything cold? It started about 8 months ago, and I'm getting a bit worried about it. Do you think it's something serious, or is there anything I can try to help with the pain?

Question

I'm really concerned about this ongoing soreness and scratchy feeling in my throat that I've had for the last four months. I've seen several ENT specialists, and each one seems to have a different take on it. One mentioned acid reflux but I don't actually feel any heartburn, while another pointed to post-nasal drip and after a CT scan said I have ethmoid sinusitis and inflammation in my throat. He mentioned surgery might be an option if medication doesn't help, which I'm really not eager for. Yet another doctor said it's just an infection, but that doesnt seem to explain everything, and I can't get rid of this nagging feeling. I went down a Google rabbit hole and read about persistent throat issues being linked to cancer. Could just a sore throat really mean something as serious as cancer?
