I'm having a bit of an issue with rice sometimes getting stuck in my throat, and then I end up with hiccups. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm eating too fast. Could this be causing the problem? And do you have any tips on how I can avoid this from happening?

I'm a bit worried because I've been having some pain and swelling on the right side of my neck where a lymph node is located. I went for an FNAC test, and the report says there's a right submandibular swelling, but the stain for AFB is negative. The findings mentioned something about a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. I'm really anxious about what this means. Could you help me understand this condition a bit better and let me know if it's something I could pass on to others?
