I'm really stressed out because I think I have a fish bone stuck in my throat. How long is it supposed to take for something like this to go away on its own? Is it even possible for the bone to stay stuck there for a long time?

I've been dealing with red bumps on the back of my throat and tongue for a week now. They're itchy but not really painful. It's winter and everyone's got a cold at work, so I ended up with a mild cold too, and a couple of nights of low fever. I've also been experiencing loose stools. This happened once before, about 8 months ago, when I caught a cold. Should I be worried about the red bumps coming back? What could be causing this, and are there any remedies I should try?

I've been noticing for the last three days that when I spit, there's some blood, and it's happening like three to four times a day. I don't have a cough or anything, but honestly, I'm really scared. Someone mentioned it could be blood cancer? Can you help me figure out what's going on?

As you say it's unusual in that frequency visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
