Swallowing's been causing me a bit of pain lately, and I've noticed this white spot on one side of my throat thats been bothering me. Its also giving me headaches. Should I be concerned about this? What could it be, and do I need to see someone about it?

Ive had this hard lump at the base of my skull, around 1.5 cm in size, and it's located on my occipital lobe. It's been there for about six months and recently got a bit bigger. It's occasionally itchy and causes mild pain. I've also been dealing with a persistent throat infection for a long time now. Im a bit worried about these symptoms. Could this be something serious?

My friend has been having throat pain either in the early morning or at bedtime for about six months now. Just recently, there's been a bad smell coming from her mouth for the past two days. Why might she be experiencing these symptoms, and what could be causing this odor? Are they related to each other somehow?
