I've been feeling really uncomfortable in my throat for the past couple of days. It's like some food got stuck, and I've been coughing a lot, but it hasn't helped. Could you please provide some advice on what I should do?

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?

That could be Leukoplakia or malakoplakia no need to worry visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment also consume balanced diet for better results.

I'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and my doctor prescribed Azithromycin 500 mg for 5 days. I'm a bit worried about taking antibiotics for that long. Is it really okay to take Azithromycin for 5 days straight? Does it help with throat infections, or should I be looking out for anything in particular while I'm on it?

Azithromycin 500mg is prescribed for 3 days for most bacterial infections, but a 5-day course may be recommended for certain conditions, such as streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat); since your doctor has prescribed it for 5 days for your throat infection, it's likely appropriate, but always follow their instructions and complete the full course.
