I've been noticing these yellowish bumps at the back of my throat for a few months now, like maybe 3 or 4 months. It's got me kinda worried because I chew tobacco. Do you have any idea what this could be?

The yellowish bumps at the back of your throat could be due to a condition called oral thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by Candida yeast. To treat oral thrush, you can use clotrimazole troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for 14 days. Additionally, it's important to quit chewing tobacco as it can worsen the condition and lead to other health issues.

I've been having this on-and-off pain in my right side submandibular gland for some time now, the weird thing is the swelling just won't go away. It's been like this for 2 years! And lately, for about a month, there's this persistent pain at the base of my neck where the skull ends and also inside my head, all on the right side. I'm struggling to find a doctor who can help; two of them suggested removing the gland, but it still produces saliva. I'm really hoping there's another solution that doesn't involve surgery. Is there anything else I could try?
It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic inflammation and pain in your submandibular gland on the right side, along with swelling that has been present for 2 years. The recent development of pain in the back of your neck, at the base of your skull, and inside your head on the right side is concerning. Given the persistent swelling and pain, it is important to address this issue promptly. I recommend seeking a consultation with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management. They may consider a thorough examination, imaging studies, and possibly a biopsy to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, warm compresses applied to the affected area may provide some relief. As for medication, you can try a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate to address any possible infection in the gland. However, please note that this is a general recommendation and should be confirmed by a healthcare professional after a proper evaluation. I hope you find the relief you are seeking and that your symptoms improve soon.

I'm dealing with vertigo and I'm not sure whether I should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist, or maybe even both. Can you help me figure out which one would be more appropriate for my symptoms? Also, is this condition harmful or something I shouldn't be too worried about? I'm curious if it's something that can be treated with just medicine or exercises. Is surgery sometimes necessary for this kind of issue?
If you are experiencing vertigo which is triggered by positional changes, such as whilst getting up from a lying down position, or whilst turning your head quickly, you should consult an ENT specialist in order to rule out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If your vertigo is triggered at random, without any particular change in position, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
