I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?

Considering your symptoms:
Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene. Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps. Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air.
Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult:
A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver. An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue. A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.

View allI've been experiencing this persistent pain in my throat for two days now. It hurts when I swallow saliva, eat, or even drink water. I'm really not sure what's causing it or how to make it go away. Could you give me some advice on how I might be able to ease this pain?
You may be experiencing a throat infection. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help reduce the pain and inflammation. Additionally, lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol can help numb the throat and provide relief. Gargling with warm salt water multiple times a day can also help soothe the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
