Question 1

I'm dealing with Granular pharyngitis and my throat hurts a lot, almost once every one or two months. It's super painful and usually takes around a week to feel better. I had my tonsils taken out like 10-12 years ago. Is there any way to get rid of this for good? Or if not, what's the best next step I can take?

Accepted Answer

There could be a triggering factor for your recurrence identify it and avoid it, otherwise maintain healthy lifestyle and also maintain oral hygiene.

Question 2

I'm feeling something hairy-like deep down in my throat, and it's been going on for almost three months now. It makes me feel like I need to throw up or spit something out, but nothing actually comes out. This usually happens when I'm around dust or during a flu. I'm not pregnant, so I'm trying to figure out what's causing this sensation. Could you help me understand what's happening with my throat?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are describing could be due to post-nasal drip, which is a common condition where mucus accumulates in the back of your throat and can cause the sensation of something stuck or tickling in your throat. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily to reduce mucus production. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray like Ocean (sodium chloride) can help clear out any mucus in your nasal passages. If these symptoms persist, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and cold last week and, thankfully, that's all cleared up. But now I'm dealing with this really unpleasant musty smell coming from my nose. It's really bothering me, and I just want it to go away as soon as possible. Can you suggest what might be causing this and how I can get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Rinse your nose with normal saline,take cetrizine tablet for 3 days, maintain hygiene,if it's still there, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've got this hard lump just behind my uvula on the throat wall, and it feels like bone when I touch it. Is this normal, or should I be worried it's something serious like cancer? I'm really anxious about it. Could you please take a look at the attached picture and let me know what you think?
