I've been experiencing some swelling and pain in the right side of my neck for about a month now. I got an FNAC test done, but I'm struggling to understand the results. Could you help me figure out what's going on with my lymph node? I'm getting a bit worried.

I'm just wondering about how long you can use ear drops after opening them. If the bottle says they expire in November 2022, does that mean they're good to use until then, even if I've opened it?

After opening a bottle of ear drops, it is generally safe to use them for about 4 weeks. However, it is important to check the specific instructions on the bottle for any recommended duration of use after opening. If the bottle indicates an expiration date of November 2022, you can use the ear drops until that date as long as you follow proper storage instructions and there are no signs of contamination or changes in the appearance or smell of the drops. Make sure to recap the bottle tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place.

My mom is 66 and has severe asthma. She's had a pleomorphic adenoma in her parotid gland for 20 years and was advised to get a superficial parotidectomy. But her pulmonologist said local anesthesia would be safer due to her lung condition. We're in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh can you recommend a surgeon who can do this procedure under local anesthesia?

For superficial parotidectomy under local anesthesia, consult major ENT hospitals in Visakhapatnam—seek anesthesiologist with high-risk surgery experience.
