Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I've been having some pain and swelling on the right side of my neck where a lymph node is located. I went for an FNAC test, and the report says there's a right submandibular swelling, but the stain for AFB is negative. The findings mentioned something about a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. I'm really anxious about what this means. Could you help me understand this condition a bit better and let me know if it's something I could pass on to others?

Accepted Answer

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm really struggling with a chronic dry cough that's been bothering me for 23 years now. I have these intense coughing fits and throat irritation at least 10 times a day, and it's really getting to me mentally and even makes my muscles hurt. I don't smoke or drink and my chest X-ray was all clear. They've found DNS and sinusitis through a nasal endoscopy, and I can't help but wonder if they're causing the chronic cough. I've tried meds for GERD and allergies, and while cough medicine helps a bit, the cough always comes back just as strong. Could you please share some insights because I'm really at a loss here?

Accepted Answer

take treatment for sinusitis, reduce the infection.

Question 3

I'm curious about this recurring pain I've been experiencing around my throat and jaw. It happens about once a month and it really hurts, especially when I touch it from outside or move my head. A doctor mentioned it might be due to tonsillitis, but I don't have that sore throat feeling inside. It's only on the outside of my throat and jaw area. Could this really be tonsillitis, or could it be something else entirely?

Accepted Answer

Detection of thyroid nodules can be concerning.

Since your thyroid function tests (TFTs) are normal, it's a good sign.

Next steps:

- Consult an endocrinologist or a thyroid specialist.
- Discuss Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) or ultrasound-guided biopsy to determine the nature of the nodules.
- Follow-up appointments will help monitor the nodules' size and characteristics.

Stay calm, and follow your doctor's guidance.
