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've been dealing with this dry cough for over two weeks whenever I'm drinking water or eating, and it lasts for at least a minute or breaks up as I eat. I used to have intercostal muscle pain for a couple of months, but that's a lot better now. Recently, I've noticed a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck, though it doesn't hurt. My throat's also started getting itchy and swollen now. I don't have a fever or problems with swallowing or breathing, but I can't help but wonder if these issues are connected somehow. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of postnasal drip, which can lead to a dry cough, throat irritation, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. The intercostal muscle pain you were experiencing could also be contributing to the discomfort. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) 10mg once daily to help with the throat irritation and postnasal drip. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils to soothe your throat as needed. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoke or strong odors. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've been hearing sounds from my left ear, and it feels like something is crawling inside my head. Is it possible for an insect to travel from the nose to the brain? What should I do about these symptoms?

I'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm already on some medication. I'm a bit unsure about what to eat right now. Do you think eating rice is okay or could it make things worse? Id really appreciate your advice.
