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?

Ive been noticing this really unpleasant smell coming from my throat (not my mouth) for about 40 to 50 days now. It hangs around for a day or two, and it's happened three times so far. Im also dealing with a dry cough that pops up whenever I'm in air-conditioned places or when there's a lot of dust around, but it's not severe and doesn't last long. Plus, I get body aches once a week that last up to two to three days. Im kind of worried about what these symptoms might mean. Which type of doctor should I see to figure out whats going on?

refer to Pulmonologist

I've got this large ulcer on the wall of my left tonsil. It all began as a small ulcer about six days ago, but now it's blown up to be 1 inch high and 12 inches in diameter. My doctor gave me some antibiotics to take, but I'm just wondering how long it's usually supposed to take for something like this to heal up?

upto 5 days

The doctor is recommending surgery for my sinus issues in the nose but I'm not sure if it's the right option. What are the risks and benefits of sinus surgery, and are there any alternatives I should consider first? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife for this.

Very few people need surgery for sinusitis. Most people can treat the problem with home care and medicines. Surgery may be a good choice for some people who have chronic (long-term) sinusitis. If medicines and self-care have not helped with your symptoms, surgery can remove blockages and make the sinus openings bigger
