My uvula is looking really red and I can see a lot of veins on it. There's also a small sore on the side. I don't have a fever, but it feels really dry and uncomfortable in the mornings. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

Question

I'm dealing with a swollen lymph node in my neck and it's really tender and painful when I touch it. I don't have any current infections, but I did have an ear infection that lasted for two weeks. It's been about 20 days since that cleared up. I dont have any unexplained bumps or infections now, and my throat isn't sore. My lips are chapped, though, but that might just be from the cold weather. I'm worried about why my lymph node is swollen. Could this be a sign of cancer?

Question

I'm having this uncomfortable feeling in my neck, and it's been going on for about a month now. I talked to a doctor, and he gave me some medicine. It seemed to help at first, but then the discomfort came back the very next day. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing it and how to get lasting relief. Can you give me some advice or suggestions?

Question

I'm dealing with acute tonsillitis and have only throat pain, no fever, cold, or cough symptoms. It started on Monday, May 7th. For the first three days, I did saltwater gargles and had ginger honey, but only saw minimal improvement. So, I went to the doctor who prescribed me Zocef 500 to take twice a day. I've been taking it since Thursday, but the recovery has been really slow; today's the third day and I still feel the throat pain. I'm wondering, if I had taken Azithromycin 500 instead, would it have worked faster on the pain and bacterial infection? I've used it before and noticed a quicker recovery. Is Zocef 500 better than Azithromycin 500? If so, why am I still experiencing throat pain after taking 5 tablets?
