I'm a bit worried because I just realized I've been taking Montek fx for the past month, but my doctor actually prescribed Montek lc for my ear infection last year. He said Montek lc would help prevent colds. I'm concerned if taking Montek fx instead is an issue, or are these two medications essentially the same? Could you help me understand if I need to be worried about this switch?

I've had these nodes near my ears for the last 34 years they keep getting enlarged and then degrade on their own. Recently, both sides of my earlobes became swollen, inflamed, and really painful. This happens every six months. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with medication? What's the best solution?

Recurrent lymph node swelling may need FNAC/biopsy; antibiotics work for infection, but surgery needed if cystic or abscessed.

I recently visited a Neurologist because I've been having headaches. The doctor did an MRI scan and luckily they didnt find any abnormalities in my brain. However, they did see some mild mucosal thickening in my bilateral maxillary sinuses. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what this means for my health. Could you explain what's going on and what kind of treatment I might need?

The finding of mild mucosal thickening in your maxillary sinuses likely indicates sinus congestion, which is usually manageable with supportive care like nasal sprays, hydration, and decongestants. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your doctor for further evaluation and possible treatments.
