Question 1

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my throat, and it's really tough to swallow. There's also this annoying feeling like a lump's stuck in my throat. Any idea what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

Persistent swollen lymph nodes can be concerning.

Given the FNAC result shows reactive lymph nodes, it's likely a benign condition.

Consider the following steps:

- Consult a hematologist or an oncologist for a second opinion.
- Rule out underlying conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or autoimmune disorders.
- Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans may help identify the cause.
- Excisional biopsy might be necessary if the node persists.

Don't hesitate to seek a specialist's opinion for further guidance.

Question 2

I'm dealing with a dry nose and mouth after recovering from Covid-19. I'm drinking about 3 liters of water every day, but the issue still persists, especially at night. I'm also taking a 0.5 mg anxit tablet for anxiety. What else can I do to get some relief?

Accepted Answer

In addition to staying hydrated, you can try using a saline nasal spray for your dry nose. Also, consider using a humidifier in your room at night to help with the dryness. If the symptoms persist, you can consult with your doctor about using a medication like pilocarpine (Salagen) to stimulate saliva production.

Question 3

I'm feeling really under the weather and have all the symptoms of strep throat, but my family is saying it's just a seasonal cold. I'm not so sure though. Could you help me figure out if it might actually be strep?

I've noticed this lump on my left tonsil that's been there for about 2 years now. It's painless, but I've got these tonsil stones. I'm really not sure what's going on. I should mention that I'm a smoker too. Should I be worried, or is this something that can just happen?
