I've had this headache and really sore throat for the past day, and now I'm feeling a bit nauseous too. I checked my throat out and my tonsils look normal, but I noticed I've got these three lumps in a triangle shape behind my uvula. Any idea what this could be? I'm thinking it might be the start of a cold, but I'm not sure how that's connected to the lumps.

The triangular formation of lumps behind your uvula, accompanied by headache, sore throat, and nausea, could be indicative of swollen lymphoid tissue ; however, it's essential to consult a such as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician, for a thorough examination and diagnosis, as the lumps may also be related to other conditions, such as tonsillar pillars or a viral pharyngitis.

I'm really concerned about my almost 6-year-old daughter. She's been struggling with a constant cough and cold, and she was doing well for a while on montair lc and some sprays, but now with the weather changes over the last few months, she's caught a cold multiple times and needed antibiotics almost every month. We've been using seroflo and otrivin sprays regularly, but she still has blocked nose and snores at night. Her weight is normal, and she's active otherwise, but our doctor mentioned her adenoids are at grade 4 and suggested surgery. We did a CT scan too. I'm aware she might improve once the weather gets better, but I'm worried about keeping her from catching more colds and infections until then. Should I consider surgery, or is it okay to wait? I've tried homeopathy for a few weeks, but there's no improvement, and it gives her stomach pains. Im really hoping to avoid the surgery route. Is there a chance her adenoids might shrink on their own, or is surgery the only way forward? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm hearing this weird metallic sound in both of my ears, and it's been going on constantly for the past couple of days. It's especially noticeable when I'm in a quiet place. Plus, I haven't been able to sleep properly for about two weeks now, no matter how hard I try. Could these things be related, and what should I do about it?

That could be Tinnitus which is bothering you, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
