I've got this weird mass under my jaw on the right side, kind of in the submandibular area. There's a similar bump on the left too, but it's not as big or swollen. I'm wondering if it could be a tumor, or maybe it's just from a cold I've had recently? I feel fine overall and haven't noticed any other symptoms. Could it just be some swelling from being sick?

I've noticed this strange clicking sound in my ears. It's been quite bothersome, so I went to an ENT specialist, but he didn't find anything unusual. I'm really puzzled by this. Could there be something else happening with my ears that wasn't spotted? Any advice on what it might be or steps I should consider next?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I'm really concerned because my doctor prescribed Vitaresp FX 180 and OtocinO drops for my ear infection. He mentioned something about a minor allergy and fungal infection in both ears. I'm curious if Vitaresp FX 180 is actually meant for ear infections because I couldn't find any information about it online. Could you help me understand if this is the right medication?

I was laughing at a joke and inhaled quickly, and the chewing gum I was eating accidentally went down my throat. I'm not entirely sure if it went through my food pipe, but now I have a cloggy sensation in my throat, maybe because I coughed a lot trying to clear it. Im worried it might be stuck in my windpipe or somewhere near my throat bone. I don't have any breathing issues, cough, or fever, but the feeling is unsettling. Is it possible the gum got stuck in my windpipe, or could there be another reason for this sensation?

Its unlikely that the chewing gum went into your lungs, especially since you're not experiencing breathing problems or a cough. The sensation in your throat is likely due to irritation from coughing or mucus, not the gum being stuck in your windpipe. If the discomfort persists, its always a good idea to check with a doctor for peace of mind.
