Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

These are most likely to be either enlarged papillae or tonsilloliths. Enlarged papillae are a normal variant, whereas tonsilloliths are calcified deposits which can cause halitosis and discomfort. If you have any concerns or symptoms, it is advisable to visit an ENT specialist for an evaluation.

I ate only soaked (in cold water) row soya chunks. I read these are harmful to health. Can you pls let me know how they are harmful? And What should I do now?

Male | 33

Consuming only uncooked soya chunks can be­ detrimental. You may experience difficulty in digestion, possibly causing abdominal distress, bloating, and gas. Cooking soya chunks adequately facilitates easier absorption of nutrients. If consumed raw, indigestion may occur through stomach aches, gas, or bloating. Drinking enough water assists in flushing out problematic substances. Closely monitor yourself for any abdominal disturbances following raw soya chunk ingestion.

Hiii sir my question can leech bites couse of artery and vein block and nerrow. 2. Second question sir leech come inside male urinary bladder and kidney failure couse.

Male | 24

Rarely do leech bites become problematic using blockage in the arteries and veins; this is due to the properties contained in the leech saliva that naturally preclude the formation of clots. Nevertheless, the severe reactions to leech bites still may occur: an important consequence of the reactions is manifested as swelling and inflammation. Incidents of leeches entering the urinary bladder of males are a barely rare occurrence, but if that happens, it will stimulate infection problems, while more severe cases can lead to kidney failure. If you fear that a leech bite has bitten you or if you have any unusual symptoms, the best thing to do is to see a doctor soon.
