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.

You may be experiencing symptoms of oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. I recommend using an antifungal medication like Clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly can help improve your symptoms. If the discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Question 6

I'm really struggling with my left nostril being blocked for over a month now, and it's tough to breathe easily. It's causing me these massive headaches and my nose keeps running. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a painful and uncomfortable situation!

Your symptoms suggest:

1. *Tonsillitis*: Inflammation of the tonsils, likely caused by a bacterial (e.g., streptococcal) or viral infection.
2. *Strep throat*: A bacterial infection that can cause swollen, red, and white-spotted tonsils.

Seek medical attention from an *ENT specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may:

1. Perform a *rapid strep test* or *throat culture* to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Prescribe *antibiotics* (if bacterial) or recommend *supportive care* (if viral).
3. Provide guidance on *pain management* and *hydration*.

In the meantime, try:

1. *Staying hydrated* with plenty of fluids.
2. *Gargling with salt water* to soothe the throat.
3. *Using a humidifier* to add moisture to the air.

Feel better soon!
