I'm pretty worried because out of the blue, my husband has this tiny lump on the side of his neck, near the left. I've snapped a pic to show it because I'm not sure what it could be. Should we be concerned about this? Do you think it's best to see a general physician or maybe an ENT specialist for this kind of thing?

Swollen lymph nodes are usually a sign that the body is fighting an infection. However, without further evaluation, it is difficult to determine the exact cause. I recommend consulting with a general physician first for an initial evaluation. The general physician may refer you to an ENT specialist if further investigation is needed. In the meantime, you can give him over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for any discomfort.

I have a hole in my eardrum and I'm really confused about which doctor to see for surgery. I've already consulted three doctors Adhana Clinic, GTB Hospital, and Dr. Gill in Agra and they all recommended surgery. How do I decide which doctor to go with for the procedure? I'm worried about making the right choice.

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Im 30 and havent had any major medical issues or allergies before. Could you help me figure this out?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

My nose has been blocked for 3 years and it's really affecting my breathing. I can't take deep breaths properly and it's been like this for so long. How much does nose surgery cost and how many days will I need to stay in the hospital?

Nose surgery, often called rhinoplasty, can address nasal blockage, but the cost and required hospital stay vary. Surgery is generally a last resort after other treatments have been tried,
