I've been having some issues with my throat pain on the left side, and it's making my neck skin feel like it's burning. It's also really sensitive to touch, especially on the front. Should I be worried about this or is it something that might just go away on its own?

View allI've been noticing these bumps in my throat and shared some pictures where they're circled. These bumps keep changing in size, and I've also got some middle ear effusion issues with my Eustachian tube. Sometimes, I feel a sore and burning sensation just on the right side, in both my throat and ear, which is the same side as the bump. I'm really starting to wonder if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Any thoughts?

I'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 a bit concerned about drinking alcohol while I'm taking Montek LC. My doctor prescribed it to me, and I'm not sure if there might be any side effects or interactions. Can you tell me if it's safe or if I should avoid drinking?
ideally there is no such interaction between them but as both will cause sedation,better not to consume alchohol when you are sick.
