Question 1

I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Considering your symptoms:

Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene.
Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps.
Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air.

Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult:

A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver.
An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue.
A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.

Question 3

I've been noticing something weird every morning when I get up. After I wash my face with hot water, I notice something like coldness coming from my throat, and it's been happening for months. Plus, whenever I eat something cold or get exposed to cold weather, my throat gets all uncomfortable, like I'm going to catch a cold. Is there some special test I should look into to figure out what's going on?
