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?

I've been dealing with this mucus issue in my throat and my nose is constantly blocked. Even though I'm taking medications like Seroflo 500, Gelemont A, Arzep nasal spray, Memoflow nasal spray, and an antibiotic, the problem just won't go away. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do these symptoms suggest something more serious? I'm really worried and would love some guidance.

I've been having ear discharge and I'm worried my eardrum might have a hole can this heal without surgery or do I need to see a doctor right away

A ruptured eardrum, or a tear in the eardrum, often heals on its own within a few weeks. However, if you're experiencing ear discharge, especially if it's bloody or purulent, or if you have persistent pain or hearing loss, it's important to see a doctor, even if the tear seems to be healing

Yes, there are techniques to deepen your voice. You can train your vocal cords and breathing to achieve a lower, more resonant sound. Focusing on breath control, posture, and vocal exercises can help you develop a deeper, more masculine voice.
