Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat off and on for about 1.5 to 2 months now. Sometimes, it lasts for about 4 to 5 days with cold and fever happening every couple of weeks. I'm trying to manage it by gargling hot water regularly and I've avoided cold drinks and ice creams during this time. Can you offer any advice or suggest what might be going on?

Your recurring sore throat, accompanied by cold and fever, could be due to a lingering viral or bacterial infection, allergies, or environmental factors, and despite your efforts to manage symptoms, consider consulting an ENT specialist for a thorough examination, and potentially, a throat swab or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-allergic medications.

Question

I've got this white patch on my uvula, and it's been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat all the time. It doesn't burn, itch, or hurt, and I'm pretty sure it's not strep 'cause my throat and tonsils aren't bothering me. What could this be?

Question

There's this recurring swelling under my jaw, on the left side, that's been really worrying me. It seems to get hard and painful as it grows. Whenever I take antibiotics, the swelling decreases but never fully goes away, and it pops back up, especially after I eat non-veg food. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?

Question

I've been experiencing this ongoing issue where my ears have been resounding for the last month or two, and it seems to have gotten slightly worse recently. I'm really concerned and wondering what I can do to fix this. Any advice on how to deal with this would be greatly appreciated.
