I've been having some pain on the right side of my neck whenever I yawn or chew, and I've heard it might be related to a cold, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it?

While yawning or chewing, pain on the right side of the neck could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dosage of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the neck muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm dealing with tonsil stones for the past year and I've noticed some small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove a few, but can't get rid of the ones on the outer part. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat, but I don't have any ear pain, fever, swelling, or sore throat. The only issue is a dry throat. What should I do next? How can I relieve this problem without surgery? I've been gargling with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis? Any advice would be really helpful.
Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions like allergies, sinusitis, or non-allergic rhinitis. Consider: 1. Allergy testing 2. Nasal endoscopy 3. Imaging tests (CTMRI scans) Continue medications as prescribed, and explore additional measures like humidifiers, saline nasal sprays, and avoiding irritants.

I've been noticing some small streaks of blood mixed with mucus whenever I suck out the mucus from my nose for the past three weeks, and now my cold has gotten much lighter. Should I be worried about the blood? What might be causing this?

I had to have some teeth removed a few months back, and I've been having a rough time since. One of the teeth was near the back on the upper part, and ever since then, I've noticed this small hole where I can suck and push air through. Now I'm dealing with migraines almost daily and this awful smell coming from one nostril. There's also a lot of smelly mucus, and it seems to be running down the back of my throat, making me blow my nose like 25 times a day. Could this all be related to getting my teeth removed, and what should I do about it?
