I've noticed a small lump under my jaw that I can feel when I press in, and it's also noticeable when I put a finger in my mouth and one under my jawit can move side to side. It's rubbery, doesn't hurt, and hasn't changed in size, staying about the size of a pea. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about or if it's just normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The lump you've described, which is palpable when pressing under the jaw, movable, rubbery, and painless, is likely a benign lymph node or a salivary gland stone or cyst; however, to rule out any potential concerns, schedule an appointment with a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)

So, I accidentally burnt my throat eating hot food yesterday. I tried drinking water, gargling with Dispirin, and even used honey, which helped a bit. But this morning, my throat's really hurting, and it looks like a gland, maybe my tonsils, is swollen. My doctor's only available during the weekany advice on what I can do until then?

I'm a 26-year-old guy dealing with a high pitch voice that lacks resonance. People often mistake me for a woman over the phone, and it's frustrating. I haven't seen a doctor about this yet, and I'm also dealing with essential tremor. Are there any exercises or treatments that could help with these issues?

It sounds like you may be experiencing voice modulation issues. You can try using voice therapy techniques to improve your voice quality. Additionally, you can use medications like Botox injections to help with essential tremors. For voice modulation, you can try speech therapy exercises and vocal warm-ups. For essential tremors, you can consider taking Propranolol. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
