Question

I've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?

The pain under the left side of the tongue could be due to:

  1. Sublingual gland infection or inflammation
  2. Salivary gland stone
  3. Lingual tonsillitis
  4. Trauma or injury
  5. Oral cancer (rarely)

Consult an ENT specialist or an oral surgeon for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend:

  1. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan)
  2. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)
  3. Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications

Question

I've got this weird mass under my jaw on the right side, kind of in the submandibular area. There's a similar bump on the left too, but it's not as big or swollen. I'm wondering if it could be a tumor, or maybe it's just from a cold I've had recently? I feel fine overall and haven't noticed any other symptoms. Could it just be some swelling from being sick?

Question

I've been having a hard time sleeping and my throat really hurts. Plus, I've got this mucus that's kind of worrying me because it has these weird black specks in it. My sinuses feel all swollen too. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this?
