I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.

View allI'm really concerned about something and would appreciate your advice. I quit smoking two years ago, which felt great, but now I'm dealing with something else. Most of the time, my nose feels really congested. Occasionally, when I sniff and spit, I notice some blood in the mucus, even though I don't have a cough. Sometimes, when I'm trying to clear my nose manually, I also notice blood in the mucus. Is this normal, or could it be something serious that I should get checked out?
It sounds like you may be experiencing some nasal bleeding. The medical term for this is epistaxis. Nasal bleeding can be caused by various factors such as dry air, allergies, sinus infections, or nasal trauma. Since you have mentioned blood in your mucus without coughing, it is likely coming from your nasal passages. To help with the nasal bleeding and congestion, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist. You can also apply a small amount of petroleum jelly inside your nostrils to prevent dryness. Avoid picking or blowing your nose too hard, as this can further irritate the nasal passages and lead to more bleeding. If the bleeding persists or if you have recurrent episodes of nasal bleeding, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a nasal decongestant like Oxymetazoline spray (e.g., Afrin) for temporary relief of nasal congestion. Follow the instructions on the package for proper dosage and duration of use. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke or strong odors that can worsen nasal symptoms. If the bleeding becomes severe or if you experience other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm dealing with this ongoing issue where my throat really hurts when I'm drinking or eating, and it feels like the pain stretches from my throat to my right ear. It's been happening for about three months now. What's going on with this, and should I be concerned?
could be due to inflammation or infection in that area. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relief like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help alleviate the discomfort. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
