I've recently noticed a lump above my Adam's apple, I've had it for about two weeks now. It feels a bit uncomfortable when I swallow. What could this be, and should I be concerned?

I've been sneezing non-stop and my doctor mentioned trying nasal sprays. How often can I safely use them each day? Are there any side effects I should worry about? Also, could you recommend a good nasal spray by name?
Nasal sprays for allergies are usually given once in a day 2 sprays per nostril. Also it depends on the compound in the spray.Usually sprays for allergies do not have any side effects and can be used safely for a long time. But there are also other nasal sprays which shouldnt be used for more then 3-4 days.

I'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.
