Ive been feeling this sharp sensation on the right side of my neck whenever I drink water. It started with cold water, but now it happens with regular water too. It's been a couple of days since this started. Any idea what could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing throat pain or sensitivity. This could be due to various reasons such as throat infection, muscle strain, or even acid reflux. I recommend taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) as needed for the discomfort. Additionally, you can try using a throat lozenge or gargling with warm salt water to soothe the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm 48 and just found out I have a throat tumor. The doctor near me recommended surgery but I'm worried are there other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife?

Depending on tumor type, radiation or chemo may be options‚Äîget a biopsy and second opinion before deciding.

I'm really anxious because I woke up yesterday and tried to clear my throat and when I spit, there was some blood in it. I saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck in the back of my throat when I looked in the mirror. I didn't notice any more blood throughout the day, but then in the evening, another blob was there in my throat and it didn't come out. I'm worriedcould be something serious? Also, my nose is often dry, and sometimes when I clean it, blood comes out. I have burping and acidity problems too. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand this?
