Why Am I Experiencing Sore Throat and Swallowing Issues?

I have a sore throat and difficulty swallowing

1 Answer

Answered on 30th Sept '24

The common cold, flu, or an infection could be responsible for these. Resting, drinking plenty of fluids such as warm teas or soups, and gargling with warm salt water are the best things to do. Eating soft foods and avoiding spicy or acidic foods can also help. If it's getting worse or not getting better after a few days, it's important to let your body rest and recover.

I am 16 year old boy with neck swellling it has been going on for 3 days now

Male | 16

The puffed neck can take place for several reasons. Considering it is there for 3 days, notice will be required. Some common ones are, for example, being infected (like swollen glands) or even reacting to something. Besides, it may be about a thyroid issue. See a healthcare professional as fast as possible, so they can find the exact reason why you are ill and prescribe the proper medicine.

Female | 19

Tonsil stones are­ small items in your throat. They are made­ of food, mucus, and bacteria. You might have bad breath, a sore­ throat, or trouble swallowing. Gargle with warm salt water to re­move them. Also, drink lots of water. Ke­ep your mouth clean. This can stop tonsil stones from forming.

I went to barber shop yesterday . While cutting my ear hair by a hair trimmer there was a cut and blood came . Am I at risk of hiv

Male | 38

You can relax, getting a little scratch on your hand from a trimmer at the hairdresser's doesn't make you prone to falling ill with HIV. HIV doesn't transfer itself through minor bruises, though. Keep it dry and worry about any visible symptoms that could manifest, e.g., redness, swelling, or pain. In case it does not improve or if you feel concerned, you can also make an appointment with a doctor s you can get a peace of mind.

I am experiencing symptoms including a runny nose, swollen eyes, ear pressure, sudden sneezing, and occasional breathing problems. These issues began around 2009, when I was in matric, and persist today, August 23, 2024. I have tried various anti-allergy medications such as Baydal, Fexet D, Telfast D, and Mytika over the years, but they only provide temporary relief. This week (August 20, 2024), I used Fexet D, Azomax for 3 days, and steamed with Vicks for 3 days. Despite these efforts, the sneezing and nasal congestion (alternating between the left and right side) remain unchanged. In the morning and at night, I sometimes notice a white fluid dripping from my head to my nose, and it occasionally affects my chest, throat, and eyes. Between 2018 and 2020, I visited the NIH Allergy Centre, where I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. But i think due to long travelling these vaccine are expire 16 Hrs travelling.and It also does not Effects me.Due to the COVID-19 Travelling and distance, I was unable to travel from Rajanpur to Islamabad and I stoped this vaccine each week In 2020 . and I believe my vaccine may have expired. However, the (antibiotics+Antiallergic) medicine treatment did not provide long relief. which could be contributing to the ongoing issues. Currently, I have been experiencing these symptoms for the past 12 days, following a gap of 3 months. I am currently jobless and living in a flood-affected area, which makes long travel difficult. In these 2 weeks i used 3 days azomax 250, For 3 days fexet D+ leflox, And 6 days softin Tablet. But all these tablets give me reilef of 12 Hrs.and I take steam for more reilef but i also does not efficient.. Could you please advise me on what steps I should take? Thank you.

It appears you are going through allergic rhinitis, which is responsible for your runny nose, swollen eyes, ear pressure, sneezing, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been persisting for a long time despite trying different medications. The allergy shots that you are receiving may have expired, thus not giving you enough relief. Seek consultation from an allergist to review your treatment plan and consider updating your allergy shots to manage your symptoms effectively.

Hello doctor, so in 2022 I was diagnosed with typhoid in March. It was a 15-day treatment course. I made a full recovery in 1 month. Then, in July, I found 2 lymph nodes in my neck (level Il & IV), each less than 1cm. They were movable. The FNAC result was left cervical small swelling, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. The lower one shrank a bit with meds, but today I noticed both nodes are still there and movable, just like 2 years ago. Do l need to get it checked again or is it normal?

Female | 24

Lymph nodes are small defenders in your body that help fight infections. Sometimes, they stay a little swollen even after the infection is gone. In your case, the nodes are small and movable, which is a positive sign. Since they haven’t changed in size over the past two years and aren’t causing any issues, it’s likely just your body’s way of managing past infections. However, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on them. If they grow, become painful, or new symptoms appear, it's best to get them checked again for peace of mind.

Got a genuine question, been having frequent nosebleeds ( around 12 times in 14 days) and was wondering on what could be the cause or what it could mean

Male | 21

Very often the bloody nose is caused by some things i.e. dry air, allergies, infections, and high blood pressure. In different scenarios, anemia may bear a more long-term consequence including blood disorders or even tumors. You are advised to see an otolaryngologist for a thorough examination as well as opt for the recommended treatment.
