I've noticed this white spot on the back of my throat for a few days now, just the one, it hasn't spread or anything. Along with it, I've been dealing with a cold cough, runny nose, sore muscles but it's nothing too serious. Should I be worried about this spot? Is it related to my cold symptoms, or could it be something else? What should I do next?

I've had cervical lymphadenopathy for over 6 years with multiple lumps in my neck that haven't grown much recently. No biopsy or FNAC has been done yet, and I'm unsure if it's serious. I can't afford expensive surgery right now are there any other options to reduce or get rid of these lumps without breaking the bank?

I'm having this constant pain in my ear, like right on that little flap part, the tragus. It really hurts, especially when I press on it. I'm worried and not sure what's causing it. What could be going on with my ear?

It sounds like you're experiencing pain in your tragus, which could be due to an infection, inflammation, or even pressure on the area. If the pain persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like an ear infection or cartilage irritation.

I've been seeing streaks of blood when I clear my throat in the mornings after waking up, and I've also felt like I'm going to vomit. There's this mild pain in my throat, but it doesn't bother me when I'm swallowing solids or liquids. I had a CT scan done for the PNS area and they didn't find anything unusual. Do I need to be worried about this? What should I do next?

These symptoms are more towards GERD, visit physician for evaluationn and apprpriate management.
