You might have pharyngitis, which is inflammation and swelling in the back of your throat. The yellow and white bumps could be pus pockets, often caused by viral or bacterial infections. Smoking can irritate your throat and make things worse, so it's a good idea to stop for a while. To soothe your throat, drink plenty of fluids, gargle with warm salt water, and avoid smoking. If the problem doesn’t improve, it’s best to see an ENT specialist for further advice and treatment.

What can i take for a blocked nose, throat pain and cough. No fever

Female | 58

Please don't start medications without a thorough evaluation by an ENT as not all blocked nose throat pain and cough are the same. For temporary relief, steam inhalation and warm fluid sips will help.

You likely have­ an infection in your throat, resulting in pain and feve­r. Since erythromycin didn't help, take­ acetaminophen to reduce­ fever, and Tylenol for throat discomfort. The­se medications are safe­ during breastfeeding. Drink ple­nty of fluids. Rest sufficiently. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist, for furthe­r evaluation.

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.

About three weeks ago I went to the doctor with a soar throat, I struggled to swallol, my lymp nodes were swollen. She said that I had an infection and that there were ehite spots in my throat and it was swollen. She gave me antibiotics to drink for 5 days. I felt better. After a week I started tk have a sore throat again. Now my right side of my mount is droopy. What vould be wrong ?

Female | 21

Sounds like the previous infection has not cleared completely or there is a second viral infection that has come on. We also need to see why the frequency is so high despite medications. Kindly visit an ENT surgeon.

I have been using sudafed nasal spray for about 5 days for a nasal drip. I stopped yesterday and have been feeling extremely congested like my sinus is swollen. Could this be rebound congestion? I've been using sinus rinse and a little relief but just feels like there could be some swelling

Male | 40

You could be suffering from rebound congestion. This is common when people use nasal sprays such as Sudafed for more than a couple of days. It may cause you to have swollen nasal passages with a feeling of being more congested. The saline sinus rinse is excellent at relieving the swelling. It's best to avoid overusing the nasal spray to prevent rebound congestion.
