Question

I've noticed that one side of my soft palate seems to rise whenever I try to spit, and it's pretty painful. But oddly enough, I don't feel any pain when I'm swallowing food or drinks. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm having a lot of discomfort in my throat whenever I eat or drink. It started about two days ago, and it feels like theres something blocking my throat on one side. But now, it's gotten worse and much more painful, and I feel it in three different areas. I looked at it in the mirror, and it seems like the hole at the base of my tongue has become narrower and more reddish. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I've had an inflamed soft palate for nearly a month now, and Im 14 weeks pregnant. Ive had chest X-rays and a CT scan with contrast recently which makes me nervous. I struggle with health anxiety and worry it might be throat or esophagus cancer. The doctors think its probably just a bit irritated from reflux or post-nasal drip, and there are no swollen nodes or mouth ulcersjust some itching and no pain. Should I be worried about this, or would asking for a biopsy for peace of mind be too much?

Question

I'm experiencing some pain in my throat that's been going on for about two weeks now. It only hurts when I swallow saliva, but not when I'm eating or drinking anything. The pain seems to come and go, and there's no pain when I move my neck. I don't have a cough or anything, but when I'm distracted or busy, I sometimes don't notice it as much. I'm really concerned and a bit scared that it might be something serious like throat cancer. Could you help me understand what could be causing this?
