I was on a flight about three weeks ago and had a cold at the time. During the descent, I felt intense pressure in my right ear and it started hurting a lot. I took painkillers for a couple of days and, thankfully, the pain went away, but the pressure hasn't gotten back to normal since. I've tried blowing out or sucking in after pinching my nose, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried about it. Could you offer some advice on what I should do next?

I'm really worried about this swollen lymph node behind my ear that's been there for 2 months. I went to my GP a month ago, and they told me to wait another month, and if it didnt go down, to see a specialist. Ive got an appointment with a head and neck doctor, but it won't be for another month. Is it bad to wait that long if it turns out to be something serious like cancer? Could delaying by a month affect my prognosis? Should I start calling around to see if I can get in earlier? It's not painful and feels firm and round, about an inch in size. Im 23, female, and don't have any other symptoms. What should I do?

Your symptoms sound like they could be from a benign cause (such as a viral infection), but it's always better to be proactive about these things, especially with something thats been persistent for a few months. Keep an eye on the lymph node, and if youre feeling anxious, reaching out for additional support or testing might provide some reassurance.

I've been reading about PRP injections and their potential benefits for reducing tinnitus and improving sensorineural hearing loss. I'm curious if this is actually effective. Also, I'm wondering whether this treatment can be done as an inpatient procedure instead of a daycare one. I live in Hyderabad, so if you have any local recommendations or leads, that would be really helpful.

There is limited usage of such treatment in general practice,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management
