Ive had this hard lump at the base of my skull, around 1.5 cm in size, and it's located on my occipital lobe. It's been there for about six months and recently got a bit bigger. It's occasionally itchy and causes mild pain. I've also been dealing with a persistent throat infection for a long time now. Im a bit worried about these symptoms. Could this be something serious?

View allI've been dealing with a sore throat that started a couple of months ago. I took antibiotics for a week, and it seemed to clear up. But theres this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side of my throat. After meals, tiny food particles and debris get trapped there, and I often have to gargle to get rid of them. There's no pain, fever, or cough, but I recently removed a tonsil stone myself. Should I be worried that this is something serious? Im concerned and would appreciate some advice. Oh, and the picture I took is inverted, where left means right and right means left.
Yellow liquid discharge from the ear can be a sign of an ear infection, such as otitis externa or otitis media. It's essential to consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for evaluation. They may perform an otoscopy, take a sample for testing, or prescribe antibiotics. Keep the ear dry and avoid inserting objects. Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

I woke up this morning and noticed I was sneezing blood. I didn't have a cold or cough, so I'm a bit concerned. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm really concerned about my 5-year-old. He's been snoring a lot, and every time the weather changes even a little, he gets a cold, cough, and sometimes a fever. One doctor mentioned something about getting an X-ray to check for an adenoid issue, and now an ENT specialist is suggesting surgery. I'm worried about going through with surgery at such a young age. Do you think it's the right move? And if we do decide on surgery, which hospital would you recommend for something like this?
