I've been noticing these bubbles at the back of my throat and on the back of my tongue, close to where my throat starts. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck back there, but it's not painful, just kind of uncomfortable. I've tried using salt water, but it doesn't seem to do much. Any idea what I should do about this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can help improve your symptoms. If the discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

View allI've been told I have nasal polyps in my right nostril. I went to an ENT and they said I needed a CT scan, which I did. After reviewing the scan, the doc said I should have surgery right away and didn't even suggest any medication first. It feels a bit suspicious to me. From what I've found online, these polyps seem pretty common. I'm just wondering if there are medicines or home remedies I could try before jumping into surgery. What do you think?
No surgical excision is the treatment of choice for nasal polyps,trust your doctor and follow their advice.

I took a pudin hara pearl and it ended up getting stuck in my throat, bursting possibly because of dryness. After feeling an intense peppermint sensation in my throat and nose, I'm left with this roughness and dryness, feeling like there's something still there. What should I do about this?
For a running nose, consider trying: Tablets: 1. Loratadine (Claritin) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief 2. Cetirizine (Zyrtec) - fast-acting, 24-hour relief 3. Fexofenadine (Allegra) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief Nasal Sprays (milder than Otrivin): 1. Azelastine (Astelin) 2. Oxymetazoline (Afrin) - use for only 3-5 days Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medication, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or take other medications.

My son has a 2cm swollen area on the side of his neck and we've been told it's reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. He's also been coughing a lot.

That could be inactive lymphadenopathy,no need to worry visit your doctor for appropriate treatment.
