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.

View allI've been dealing with a blocked right ear for about two years now, and despite checking it out several times, no one can say what's wrong. Lately, I've also had this feeling of mucus at the back of my throat that I can't seem to cough up. It's really affecting my daily life because whenever I talk, it feels like there's an echo of my own voice in my head. What could be causing this and how can I make it go away?

I'm really worried about what's going on with me. I woke up on Sunday with a sore throat and now both my tonsils are super swollen, red, and have these white spots all over them. Plus, my uvula has these weird red dots. Swallowing is so painful, and my lymph nodes are really tender. What could be causing all this and should I be worried?
Unsettling ear sounds can be disturbing! The "gu gu gu" or motor-like sound in your right ear could be: 1. *Tinnitus*: A common condition characterized by ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ear. 2. *Eustachian tube dysfunction*: The tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat might be blocked, causing unusual sounds. 3. *Earwax buildup*: Excess earwax can cause strange noises, especially when lying down. 4. *Middle ear muscle spasms*: Tiny muscles in the middle ear can contract and cause sounds. To alleviate the issue: 1. *Consult an ENT specialist*: For a thorough examination and diagnosis. 2. *Try ear drops*: To help dissolve excess earwax. 3. *Use a white noise machine*: To mask the sound while sleeping. 4. *Avoid loud noises*: And take regular breaks in quiet environments. Keep in mind that these sounds can be intermittent and might resolve on their own. However, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm feeling really uncomfortable with this persistent issue. For about ten days now, I've been experiencing pain, itching, and a pinching sensation in my throat. It also feels like there's some kind of blockage. On top of that, my nose feels blocked, and I've had ongoing pain with a swollen sensation in my right ear. Could this be due to strep throat, and should I be worried? What steps should I take to get relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection. For Strep Throat, you can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 10 days. For the blockage sensation in your nose, you can use Flonase nasal spray 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. And for the pain and swelling sensation in your right ear, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief.
