I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis ever since I was a kid. One side of my nose always seems to be blocked. It's really frustrating and I'm wondering if there's something more I should be doing to manage it. Are there any specific treatments or lifestyle changes I should be considering?

View allI'm dealing with a swollen lymph node in my neck and it's really tender and painful when I touch it. I don't have any current infections, but I did have an ear infection that lasted for two weeks. It's been about 20 days since that cleared up. I dont have any unexplained bumps or infections now, and my throat isn't sore. My lips are chapped, though, but that might just be from the cold weather. I'm worried about why my lymph node is swollen. Could this be a sign of cancer?
It is possible that the swollen lymph node in your neck is a result of your recent ear infection. Lymph nodes can become swollen and tender as they work to fight off infections in the body. In your case, the lymph node may still be reacting to the previous ear infection even though the infection itself has resolved. It is less likely that the swelling is due to cancer, especially since you do not have any other concerning symptoms such as unexplained bumps, ongoing infections, or persistent sore throat. The chapped lips could indeed be a result of the cold weather. To help reduce the swelling and tenderness in your lymph node, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. You can also apply a warm compress to the area for comfort. If the swelling persists or if you develop any new symptoms, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because I think I have a hair stuck in my throat. It feels so uncomfortable. Is there a way to get it out on my own, without having to see an ENT doctor? Is it harmful if it stays there? Would love to hear your advice!

I'm really worried about this white spot on my tonsil. I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort, but I can't help but wonder if it might be something serious like cancer or another disease. Could you please help me understand what it might be?
Seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, try: - Drink a glass of water to help dislodge the bone - Eat a small amount of soft food like banana or bread - Avoid coughing or gagging, which can push the bone further A doctor or ENT specialist can: - Visually examine your throat - Use specialized instruments to remove the bone - Provide pain relief medication if needed
