Question 1

I'm really worried about my husband. His neck is swollen on the left side, behind the ear, and it doesn't hurt. Our ENT specialist did a fine needle test and the microscopy report says there's no sign of cassation granuloma or malignancy. They mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid aspirate and advised excision if there's clinical suspicion for Koch's. Can you help explain what all this means? We also tried two weeks of antibiotics and the swelling seems to be getting smaller. I'm trying to understand if we should still be concerned.

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

My 5-year-old just had adenoid surgery and I'm a bit confused do adenoids grow back after removal? I've heard mixed things about whether this is a permanent fix or if they might return over time. Also, how effective is this surgery in the short term versus long term for kids? Really want to understand if this will fully solve their breathing issues or if we might face the same problems again later

Accepted Answer

It's also possible for your child's adenoids to grow back. It's impossible to remove all traces of the tissue since the adenoids are so far back in your child's nasal passage. If the tissue continues to cause problems, your child may need surgery twice. This is extremely rare.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my recent medical reports that mention something called pleomorphic adenoma. I'm unsure which kind of doctor I should see about this. Do you think surgery is necessary, and which specialist is best for handling this situation?

Accepted Answer

For plemorphic adenoma, you should consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or an Otolaryngologist. Surgery is often recommended for plemorphic adenoma to remove the tumor and prevent any complications. The specialist will assess your specific case and recommend the appropriate treatment plan, which may include surgery to remove the tumor.

I'm feeling a bit worried because for about a month now, my turbinates have been enlarged, and it's been slightly uncomfortable to breathe. I'm already on medication, but I'm concerned about what to do if the situation gets worse. Could you advise me on the next steps?
