I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a pea-sized hard lump just behind my right ear. It really hurts when I touch it, and I'm feeling some slight pain in my neck too. What could this be? Should I be concerned about it?

View allI've been dealing with this feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat for the last 34 years and it's really frustrating because it happens even in the summer. I tried gargling but that didn't help at all. A few months back I saw an ENT specialist in Ghaziabad, and he said nothing was stuck in my throat. What should I do next?
You can try using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. You can take Mucinex 600mg extended-release tablets once daily with plenty of water. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce any post-nasal drip contributing to the sensation. Use Flonase 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. If the issue persists, you may consider a referral to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation of acid reflux as a possible cause of your symptoms.

I'm planning to undergo a septoplasty soon, and I'm worried about how long it'll take to recover. I need to figure out how many days I'll need to take off from work, like should I expect to be out for just a few days or is it longer? Any advice would be really helpful!
Takes UPTO 4 weeks Or depends how the surgery and follow up has been done
