I'm experiencing itching in my nose and throat, and I'm a bit worried it might be the onset of a common cold. Is it okay if I take a Cheston Cold tablet for this?

View allI've noticed a small lump under my jaw that I can feel when I press in, and it's also noticeable when I put a finger in my mouth and one under my jawit can move side to side. It's rubbery, doesn't hurt, and hasn't changed in size, staying about the size of a pea. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about or if it's just normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?
The lump you've described, which is palpable when pressing under the jaw, movable, rubbery, and painless, is likely a benign lymph node or a salivary gland stone or cyst; however, to rule out any potential concerns, schedule an appointment with a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)

I'm dealing with some heaviness in my head and neck and my ear's in pain too, plus Ive got these breathing issues. A couple of weeks ago, I was in an Ola cab and felt chilly, then got rashes. The coconut oil and camphor helped the rashes, but now I've got ear pain and a sense of heaviness in the back of my head. My GP gave me anti-allergic meds that didnt quite help, so I saw an Orthopaedic doctor who checked my vitamin D and B12 levels and prescribed more meds, including anti-allergic ones like Telekast. After a few days, I wasnt feeling much better, so I went to an ENT doctor who did some thyroid and CBC tests along with three different ear tests. Everything looked okay except for a blocked tube between my ear and nose. Now I've got 15 days of meds and exercises to do. I remember having similar issues a few months ago after applying hair dye, but they eventually went away. Im just not experiencing much relief this time. What else can I do?

I've been using Sudafed nasal spray that has Xylometazoline Hydrochloride for my flu and a blocked nose, and the label says to use it three times in 24 hours. Is it okay if I take a fourth dose? I'm just really struggling to breathe through my nose right now.
It is not recommended to exceed the dosage instructions on the bottle. Taking more than the recommended dose can lead to potential side effects and complications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.
