I've been experiencing a tightness/tug at the base of jaw or at the top end of my throat. I've been breathing a lot through my mouth as a way of coping up with my anxiety. Every morning for the last 3 days I wake up with this feeling of tightness/tug. It is not hindering my swallowing, but still it's very uncomfortable.
Throat langroscopy image what is diagnosis
I have hoarseness temporary. Little pain in left side of throat
Hello Doctor,
I have been facing a persistent issue of sticky throat, especially in the morning. When I spit after waking up, thick, yellowish, thread-like mucus comes out. Sometimes, I also notice small round food particles along with the mucus. While swallowing, my throat feels coated and sticky.
My tongue is always whitish with some rashes/patches and feels heavy. Occasionally, I notice slight blood in my spit while brushing in the morning.
I had last year treated H pylori , but symptoms still persist.
Could this be due to throat infection, sinus issue, acidity (GERD), or something else? Is it related to my previous H. pylori infection? What could be the reason for food particles in spit and white tongue coating?
Please suggest possible diagnosis, required tests, and treatment.
Thank you.
Hey doc, i have ocd so i did frequent intentional coughs. And got bleeding like in august,December 2025 once.
Then in january and march 2026 once.
Whenever I do not cough I don't get any blood.
During feb 27- march 5 2026, i had a cold and cough. At that time I didn't get any blood.
Is it normal to get a little streak whenever we cough hard and intentionally many times?
I also have a history of smoking from
2019-2022= 3 a day
2024 aug-2026 march= 9 a day.
So I was worried that maybe my smoking had caused CA.
I noticed a red small red circular spot on the left tonsil from 5-6 days. There are no other symptoms like fever, no throat pain, no cough. Can you please tell me what could be the cause and whether I need any treatment or it is something that usually go away on its own?
