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'm really concerned because I've had this sore throat for about two months now. It's red at the back and hurts a bit when I swallow. I've seen a couple of doctors alreadyfirst, I had a throat culture which was negative, then the ENT specialist prescribed calithromycin or cliff tablets, plus a gastric tablet and painkiller, but that didnt help at all. At RML hospital, they suggested amoxicillin for 6 days and sefixime for 5 days, still no relief. I read somewhere that it might be post-nasal drip and was advised to try an anti-allergy tablet and a steroid nasal spray. Can you suggest any specific nasal sprays or antiallergy tablets that might help?

Take anti-allergic tab and steroid nasal spray for 3weeks...it seems it's due to post nasal drip...

I've had abnormally large tonsils for a while and tonsil stones before, so I know what those are like. But now I've found this hard white lump deep beneath the skin, and it seems like it's gotten a bit bigger over the past month. I'm just wondering what this could be and if it's something I should be concerned about?
