A ruptured eardrum, or a tear in the eardrum, often heals on its own within a few weeks. However, if you're experiencing ear discharge, especially if it's bloody or purulent, or if you have persistent pain or hearing loss, it's important to see a doctor, even if the tear seems to be healing

I've been waking up with my right ear blocked every morning for the last 45 days, but it seems to clear up for the rest of the day. It feels similar to when your ears get blocked on an airplane. A little jaw movement sometimes helps a bit. I'm starting to worry if it could be something serious. Any ideas about what's going on with my ear?

I'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.
