Question 1

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my throat, and it's really tough to swallow. There's also this annoying feeling like a lump's stuck in my throat. Any idea what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

Persistent swollen lymph nodes can be concerning.

Given the FNAC result shows reactive lymph nodes, it's likely a benign condition.

Consider the following steps:

- Consult a hematologist or an oncologist for a second opinion.
- Rule out underlying conditions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or autoimmune disorders.
- Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans may help identify the cause.
- Excisional biopsy might be necessary if the node persists.

Don't hesitate to seek a specialist's opinion for further guidance.

Question 2

I've had sinusitis for almost two months now and even after taking antibiotics and using a nasal spray, the pressure just won't go away. My CT scan showed a slightly deviated septum to the left, right concha bullosa, hypertrophy of both inferior nasal turbinates, and polypoidal thickening in the maxillary and left ethmoid bulla. Should I consider surgery or wait it out for a few more years?

Accepted Answer

septoplasty is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm having a bit of an issue with rice sometimes getting stuck in my throat, and then I end up with hiccups. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm eating too fast. Could this be causing the problem? And do you have any tips on how I can avoid this from happening?
