Question

I'm really worried about this white spot on my tonsil. I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort, but I can't help but wonder if it might be something serious like cancer or another disease. Could you please help me understand what it might be?

Seek immediate medical attention.

In the meantime, try:

  • Drink a glass of water to help dislodge the bone
  • Eat a small amount of soft food like banana or bread
  • Avoid coughing or gagging, which can push the bone further

A doctor or ENT specialist can:

  • Visually examine your throat
  • Use specialized instruments to remove the bone
  • Provide pain relief medication if needed

Question

I'm feeling really worried because my throat is hurting a lot, and swallowing is super painful. The pain is unbearable, and I'm coughing up some yellowish stuff that makes it hurt even more when I spit. Lately, I've also started getting a headache. Could you please give me some advice on what might be going on?

Question

I've had two Tympanoplasty surgeries, one in 2011 that didn't work out and then another in 2014 after having sinus surgery and surgery for a deviated nasal septum. The doctor said back then that I shouldnt swim for the rest of my life because of the ear infections. Its been a few years now and I'm wondering if its still risky to swim or if things might have changed with my ear health?

Question

I've been feeling this film of mucus on the right side of my throat, almost down to my chest, for the past few weeks. I remember having the same feeling last year. My right nostril is blocked, and there's pressure on my right ear. I used to smoke a lotabout six cigarettes a day for seven yearsbut quit last year. Since then, there's no cough, but the mucus feeling is still there. Could it be cancer? Sometimes, it seems like this sticky feeling on the right side even goes down to my stomach. I'm not experiencing heartburn though. I'm curious, what's the risk of throat cancer at 27 in India? Also, I used to smoke marijuana but stopped that last year too. What do you think?
