I've been feeling something unusual under my tongue on the left side, and it's noticeable especially when I swallow. Its been there for a while. Along with that, I've got this persistent cough, but weirdly, there's no cold or other symptoms. I'm just trying to figure out what might be going on. Any ideas?

I'm curious about how long I can safely use Furamist AZ spray. I don't use it every day, just occasionally when I get those annoying allergy sneezes. Is there a limit to how often I should be using it?

You can use it as SOS no problem.

I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. It doesn't hurt, and I'm not having trouble swallowing, but it's just really uncomfortable. Any advice on what kind of test I should consider to figure out what's going on?

You may consider getting a barium swallow test or an endoscopy. These tests can help identify any potential issues in your throat or esophagus. Additionally, a laryngoscopy can also be helpful in examining your throat more closely. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate test for your specific situation.

I've been dealing with a sore throat for the last month and a half, and I've noticed these red bumps at the back of my throat. It feels like something's stuck there every time I swallow. Plus, there's some weird growth of flesh on both sides of my tonsils. What's going on here?

It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic tonsillitis with the symptoms you described. I recommend you start with a course of antibiotics to help clear the infection. You can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges like Strepsils to help soothe your throat. It's important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body fight off the infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
