I've had such a rough time with my throat these past ten days. I haven't been eating or drinking anything cold or sour, and I've tried every home remedy I can think ofturmeric milk, mullethi, ginger-pepper tea, even gargling with salt. Plus, I've been taking antibiotics and some ayurvedic syrup called Joshina. Still, no improvement at all. What else can I do? Could I be missing something?

I've had this small lump on my neck for like 10 months now. I saw an ENT doc who said it's nothing to worry about. He did mention something about surgery, either now or later. My friend's dad had a similar lump, and their doctor insisted on surgery which cost them around 1 lac. Should I be worried about this lump even though there's no pain?

Yours might be a different scenario,do not worry but as your doctor suggested better to get it removed,follow their advice
