I've been dealing with on-and-off fevers for about a month now, along with mucus and a sore throat. Just last week, I noticed these yellow blister-like spots in my throat, about the size of half a penny, and my throat's pink color is changing to this yellowish white. I work around kids, so I'm always around a lot of germs. The doctor mentioned a respiratory infection last week but didn't run any tests and prescribed amoxicillin. It's been six days and things seem to be getting worse. Do you have any idea what this might be?

View allI think I have a small soft palate and it's affecting my speech. A speech therapist recommended surgery, but I'm not sure if that's the only option. Could a small soft palate really cause speech issues and what are the alternatives to surgery?
Yes, a small soft palate, or velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), can indeed cause speech problems, particularly nasal sounding speech. While surgery is often recommended for VPI, it's not the only option, and other therapies can be effective. Speech therapy, prosthetic devices, and even biofeedback can help improve speech in many cases

I'm a 27-year-old male, and something really strange has been happening for the past two days. When I try to inflate my mouth like I'm blowing up a balloon, this little area in my right jaw puffs up too. It's a super weird sensation, something I've never felt before. And when I massage the area right below my right ear, I can hear a kind of air bubble popping sound. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
The unusual sensation of a pocket inflating in your right jaw when filling air in your mouth, accompanied by an air-bubble-popping sound when massaging the area, may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a blocked salivary gland, or a rare condition like pneumoparotitis; consult a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm feeling really worried because after drinking hot water all day the day before yesterday, I started having trouble breathing, especially at night, and my nose is all congested. I've already tried inhaling steam, but I'm not sure what might be causing this or what else I should do. Can you help me figure this out?
