I've been experiencing pain in my throat when I swallow for the past three days. I tried taking Azithromycin, but it hasn't made a difference. The pain is mostly on the left side of my throat. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've been experiencing this weird clicking sound in my nose when I'm lying down and resting. It sounds like a computer mouse click, and it's been going on for about six months now. It hasn't caused any problems, but I'm really curious about what it might be. Can you shed some light on this?

That could be nasal drip,it's natural no need to worry.

I have this lump on my neck that I've noticed for about a month now. I've already done FNAC twice. The first result said it was lymphadenitis and the second one mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid. I'm really concerned about whether I might need surgery for this. Could you please advise?

Surgery is usually not required unless there are complications or the swelling does not improve with conservative treatment. I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (500mg, as needed) to help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
