I've got three swollen lymph nodes, two under my jaw and one near my groin. It all started with a sore throat, which happens often because I deal with chronic tonsil stones, and my tonsils are always kinda stretched. Should I be worried about these swollen nodes? What could be causing this?

View allI'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm still having issues with itching and noises in my ear. Should I be concerned that it's not healing properly, or is this normal and just taking time to get better?
It's normal for some residual symptoms like itching and sounds to persist for a few weeks after tympanoplasty, as the ear canal and eardrum take time to heal; however, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your ENT surgeon to rule out any complications, such as graft failure, infection, or middle ear fluid, and to determine the best course of action.

I'm noticing a whooshing sound in my right ear that's in sync with my heartbeat. It seems to get louder whenever I run or climb stairs. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
Consider a second opinion from another ENT specialist or a maxillofacial surgeon. Discuss: 1. Repeat imaging tests (MRIultrasound) to monitor gland size. 2. Salivary gland function tests (e.g., salivary flow rate). 3. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to rule out underlying conditions. Explore treatment options, such as: 1. Medications to reduce gland size. 2. Surgical interventions (e.g., parotidectomy). 3. Lifestyle modifications (e.g., dietary changes, stress management).

I'm experiencing this feeling of heaviness in my throat and I'm worried it could be something serious like cancer, even though I don't smoke. I've also been having trouble swallowing. Should I be concerned or is this something that could be related to something else?
