I'm looking for some advice because I often get a throat infection when I eat curd or buttermilk, even if I leave it out of the fridge for a bit before eating. It makes me feel feverish and causes body pain, and the whole thing can last for about 45 days. The doctor usually gives me medicine or even antibiotics, and sometimes I have to get a shot for weakness, but I still feel weak for a week afterward. So I've been avoiding curd and buttermilk. I also seem to get throat infections with fever frequently throughout the year, especially during the rainy season. Do you know what's causing this or what I can do right away when I start feeling like I'm getting a throat infection?

I'm really worried about my pleomorphic adenoma diagnosis from 07052015. I've tried a bunch of homeopathic treatments, but nothing seems to work. I'm hoping to find a non-surgical solution. Are there any effective medications I should look into?

Given your diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma and lack of response to homeopathic treatments, it's essential to consult a qualified oncologist for evidence-based advice; currently, there is no proven non-surgical treatment for pleomorphic adenoma, and watchful waiting or surgical excision are typically recommended; some research suggests that medications like Imatinib or Tamoxifen may be effective in shrinking salivary gland tumors, but these treatments are still experimental and require further study.

I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?

Considering your symptoms: Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene. Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps. Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air. Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult: A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver. An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue. A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.
