Slight tickle and cough and heavy voice
So, i was having a Lot of cough with phlegm, last week my sputum culture showed heavy growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae. I consulted pulmonologist, i was put on Ceftum 500 twice a day, now my coughing has greatly reduced but still sometimes my throat tickles and i have cough(very less sputum production now) kind of like semi dry cough... also i have noticed since 1-2 weeks i have a heavy voice sometimes, is it a side effect of this pneumoniae bacteria and will it go away? Also I had chest xray before it was normal no sign of pneumonia there, only symptom was productive cough. Now my ceftum course is complete, but that heaviness sometimes and irritation of throat (very mild) and when I squeeze my chest after a workout in top right i feel a little pain like we use to have after over exertion... please let me know what should I do and will it get bttr? Also, since 4-5 weeks i have observed a small firm lump in right neck(nt visible outside) can b touched and felt only inside skin. Plz advic

As the ENT surgeon I can Tell you that after seeing the picture of your oral cavity you are suffering from chronic granular phyringitis, Resulting into oedmea in the throat as well as this small papule you can see on the posterior pharyngeal wall. The source of infection is in your nose which trickles down in the throat causing the infection again and again in the throat which is causing this chronic sinusitis the tickling sensation you are feeling in throat is known as post nasal drip the infectious material from the nose is trickling down into the throat acting as a source of infection. The ED mind through leads to change in the voice as well as pain Chest x-ray you have shared is fairly well within normal limits so you are cause of cough is in the throat and nasal cavity not in the chest kindly consult with your detailed history So that I can guide you further
