I'm currently using Derinide Aq nasal spray for my condition and wondering if it can be fully cured with just medication or if surgery might be necessary. What would you suggest as the best approach?

View allI'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.

From the last month or so, I've been having a sore throat, and when I checked in the mirror, I could see that the right side of my palatoglossal arch is red and a bit swollen. There's also a small white spot behind it. Is this just an infection or could it be something more serious? Google mentioned soft palate cancer, and now I'm really worried. Could you give me some guidance on what's happening? I've attached a picture for reference.
