I've noticed these yellowish bumps at the back of my throat, but weirdly, there's no pain. Also, my mouth is looking kinda white. There's no issue with swallowing or eating, but I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any insights on this would be great.

A small amount of blood while coughing can be alarming.

In a 32-year-old non-smoker, possible causes include:

  • Minor throat irritation or injury
  • Dry air or allergies
  • Acute bronchitis

However, it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out:

  • Underlying infections (e.g., pneumonia)
  • Throat ulcers or lesions
  • Other medical conditions

Schedule a doctor's appointment for a proper evaluation and guidance.

I'm really struggling with this whole not smoking thing after my tonsil removal. I've been smoking about 15 cigarettes a day, and now the past couple of days without them are just killing me. The NRT options aren't helping much either. My doctor mentioned something about my bleeding risk going from 2 to 3 if I smoke, but that doesn't entirely make sense to me. I'm trying to find out what the absolute minimum time is before I can start smoking again. Honestly, quitting for good isn't an option for me, and going two weeks without smoking seems nearly impossible. Any advice?

no you have to quit smoking

I've been diagnosed with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia for the past couple of months. I'm really concerned and wondering if it's something that can be cured on its own, or if surgery might be necessary. Could you provide some insights on this?

Surgery (usually in the form of a biopsy or excision) may be considered if: The swelling persists for a long time without improvement or becomes very large. The doctor suspects there might be another cause (like lymphoma or another serious condition). The lymph nodes are causing other physical symptoms (such as difficulty swallowing, breathing, or other issues due to the pressure they cause).

I'm dealing with this small irritation on the corner of my tongue thats been bugging me for about six months now. It doesn't hurt, but it always feels like theres something stuck there. Should I see an ENT or a dentist for this kind of issue?
