Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband has been experiencing shoulder pain recently and sometimes coughs a lot. There is white discharge in his mouth, and I'm very worried. I searched online and it said it's quite serious. Could you please help? Shoulder pain and a foreign body sensation in the throat, is it lymphoma?Doctor's answer:
Cannot confirm lymphoma based on these feelings; a detailed pathological examination is necessary. Shoulder pain may be caused by wind-cold, overexertion, or injuries such as bruises, strains, or sprains. Massage, acupuncture, and medication can be used for treatment. A sensation of a foreign body in the throat may indicate chronic pharyngitis or the presence of a "goiter-like" condition. It could also be caused by other factors, and timely, thorough examination, diagnosis, and treatment are required. Avoid spicy foods.
