From the last month or so, I've been having a sore throat, and when I checked in the mirror, I could see that the right side of my palatoglossal arch is red and a bit swollen. There's also a small white spot behind it. Is this just an infection or could it be something more serious? Google mentioned soft palate cancer, and now I'm really worried. Could you give me some guidance on what's happening? I've attached a picture for reference.

View allI'm really struggling with a persistent mucus issue that's been going on for about 8 years, which feels unreal to me. Lately, it's gotten worse with this smooth white mucus constantly forming in my throat. I find myself needing to clear it out every few minutes which triggers coughing too. I'm worried and could really use some guidance on what might be happening and how to manage this. Could you help with some advice?
It might be due to continuously ongoing irritation in oral cavity... You should also be examined for any respiratory Tract infection...

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a while now, below where my Adam's apple is, sort of around the thyroid gland area. I went to see an ENT specialist and he mentioned it might be granular pharyngitis after checking my tonsils, but it just doesn't feel right. It's like the sensation is further down. What do you think could be causing this feeling, and what steps should I take next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat, which could be related to granular pharyngitis. To help alleviate this feeling, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic (benzocaine) to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any inflammation or allergic reactions that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, it would be advisable to follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

My ear has a perforated eardrum and sometimes it hurts and leaks fluid do I really need surgery for this or can it heal on its own? I'm worried about the pain and whether it could get worse.
A perforated eardrum usually gets better on its own within 2 months and your hearing returns to normal. A GP may prescribe antibiotics if you have an ear infection, or to stop you getting an ear infection while your eardrum heals.
