I've been dealing with an irritation on the left side of my throat, and it even makes my ear itch. It's just a little uncomfortable, especially when I'm eating. I've been smoking for a while now, and this has been going on for about a month. I'm getting a bit worried about what's going on here. Any idea what's causing this and what I should do?

View allI'm really puzzled about this swollen lymph node I've had for 4 months. It's not changing in size at all and sometimes it hurts around my neck where it's swollen. Otherwise, I'm feeling healthy but I've noticed some weird stuff lately. Occasionally, I find what looks like black hair in my phlegm and at times, it's this greenish or greyish color. Plus, there's a kind of pressure in my throat and around my shoulder or neck blade when I take a deep breath. This all seemed to start after I got Covid in April. I also experience daily neck and back pain, probably because of my job, but I'm not completely sure if it's related. I'm just trying to understand what could be causing the swollen lymph node. Could you help me figure this out?
Biopsy,FNAC for AFB and microscopy,x-ray chset pa view and complete blood count is advised to the patient.

I've had this uncomfortable feeling because a chicken bone got stuck in my throat. I tried eating a banana and some bread with butter, but it didn't really help. I went to the emergency doctor at the government hospital, and they advised me to see a specialist the next day. After an X-ray, they said there was no bone in my throat, but now it's been six days and I'm still feeling pain in my throat and ear. Another doctor gave me azithromycin 500 mg and brufen, but I'm not getting any relief. What should I do next?
take azithromycin for 3 days, drink oral fluids.

I'm dealing with nasal polyps in both of my nasal cavities and it's been really frustrating. I'm not sure what the best treatment options are. Can you guide me on what I should consider or expect when dealing with nasal polyps? And is there anything specific that has worked well for others or is usually recommended? It's been affecting my day-to-day life and I'd really appreciate some advice.
The treatment for nasal polyps typically involves the use of intranasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and shrink the polyps. I recommend using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. In addition, you can also use Nasacort (triamcinolone) nasal spray, 1-2 sprays in each nostril once daily. These medications can help improve symptoms and reduce the size of the nasal polyps.
