I'm a bit worried because I've been having some pain and swelling on the right side of my neck where a lymph node is located. I went for an FNAC test, and the report says there's a right submandibular swelling, but the stain for AFB is negative. The findings mentioned something about a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. I'm really anxious about what this means. Could you help me understand this condition a bit better and let me know if it's something I could pass on to others?

I'm a bit worried because I sneezed this morning and felt something happen in my ear. It wasn't too painful at first, but now the pain has become unbearable tonight. I tried steaming, which made me feel a bit better, but the pain came back. Can you help me figure out what's going on with my ear?

It would be advisable to consult an ENT doctor in this situation. There could have been a perforation of the tympanic membrane (ear drum). There is also a possibility of impacted wax having been dislodged due to the sneeze and causing pain thereafter.

I'm starting to experience some weird issues with my right ear. It feels like a broken speaker, vibrating on and off. It's even worse with loud noises. This all began after a long flight, and I'm worried because Ive had problems with this ear before due to a cholesteotoma. What could be happening?

You may be experiencing symptoms of ear barotrauma, especially considering your history of cholesteatoma and recent long haul flight. I recommend using a decongestant nasal spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help relieve the pressure in your ear. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) for any discomfort. Additionally, consider using earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments to protect your ear. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
