I've been dealing with some issues lately. After recovering from a skin infection last week, where I was on antibiotics and painkillers, I've now developed a canker sore on my tonsils and throat. It's making it really hard to eat or drink anything. Do you think this might be related to the medication I was on, or is it something else? What can I do to ease the discomfort?

I've been noticing that every time I wash my hair with lukewarm water, my head feels really cold afterward. It's strange because I also end up with a sore throat, especially when I've been caught in the rain too. I'm starting to wonder if there's a connection here or if I'm doing something wrong. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

You may be experiencing cold symptoms triggered by changes in temperature. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter medication like Tylenol Cold + Flu Severe for relief. Additionally, you can consider using a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your sore throat. Make sure to stay warm and dry to prevent further discomfort.

I've been having trouble swallowing food for the last couple of days, and I'm worried because I can actually feel my epiglottis when I touch behind my tongue. It's not really affecting my breathing, but swallowing feels weird. Could this be something serious?

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I've been having some pain and swelling on the right side of my neck where a lymph node is located. I went for an FNAC test, and the report says there's a right submandibular swelling, but the stain for AFB is negative. The findings mentioned something about a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. I'm really anxious about what this means. Could you help me understand this condition a bit better and let me know if it's something I could pass on to others?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
