I've been noticing that every time I wash my hair with lukewarm water, my head feels really cold afterward. It's strange because I also end up with a sore throat, especially when I've been caught in the rain too. I'm starting to wonder if there's a connection here or if I'm doing something wrong. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

You may be experiencing cold symptoms triggered by changes in temperature. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter medication like Tylenol Cold + Flu Severe for relief. Additionally, you can consider using a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your sore throat. Make sure to stay warm and dry to prevent further discomfort.

View allI'm dealing with a pretty painful ulcer on my uvula that I've had for about three days now. The doctor gave me some meds, but I'm really anxious to know how long it'll take to heal. Also, is there anything I can do to help ease the pain in the meantime? I've heard about using Betadine garglewould that be helpful? Any advice on speeding up the recovery would be appreciated.

I'm experiencing what I think might be acid reflux, and I've been noticing some blood mixed in my saliva but only in the mornings, and it's worrying me a bit. I'm not coughing at all, but my throat's been feeling sore all day, and there's this constant salty taste in my mouth. Also, now and then I cough up some yellowish mucus. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?
That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've been dealing with this issue for about 10 months now, and it's really stressing me out. It all began with some pain in my neck, and I felt like there was a weird mass or something abnormal inside. I went to a doc in ST Jones Bangalore, and he suggested an ultrasound, which showed a submandibular gland infection. He put me on a 7-day antibiotic course, twice, but it didn't help. Then they did an FNAC, but nothing was found, and I got another round of antibiotics, still with no improvement. After that, the doc recommended a biopsy, so I went over to Manipal hospital for another opinion. There, another ultrasound was done, which now didn't show any gland issues but indicated a mild swelling in the lymph node. Again, I was given a 7-day antibiotic, and still, nothing's changed. I've been to the doctor four times now, and they're just giving me medicine. But my pain is getting worse every day, and I'm really scared that it might be something serious. The symptoms keep changing, too. Lately, I feel numbness on my left side and head and have trouble swallowing and chewing. Could you advise me on what to do next?
It sounds like you have been experiencing a complex medical issue with your submandibular gland and lymph nodes. Given the persistent symptoms and lack of improvement with antibiotics, it may be necessary to consider other treatment options. Considering the evolving symptoms and the need for further evaluation, I would recommend seeking a consultation with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a detailed examination and a possible referral for additional tests or procedures.
