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?

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing this weird burnt plastic smell and taste whenever she eats anything. It's like everything just tastes and smells like plastic to her, and raw veggies seem to be the worst. This all started about two weeks ago, and she doesn't have a cold, cough, or fever or anything like that. Now she's also feeling some pain in her left lower jaw since yesterday. Do you have any idea what this might be? Who should we talk to about getting this checked out?
Chia seeds do not directly stop periods, but they may help regulate menstrual cycles due to their high fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content. Delayed periods can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Since you've already taken Deviry and pregnancy tests are negative, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.

I've been experiencing this whistle-like sound in my ears for a couple of months now. It's similar to the noise you hear when a loud firecracker goes off nearby. It's really affecting my sleep, especially when I'm in a quiet environment. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help with it?
Chronic coughing and allergy issues can be frustrating! Given your history and current treatment, consider the following: 1. *Inhaler usage*: Continue using the inhaler as prescribed, as it may take some time to show its full effect. 2. *Coughing persistence*: Discuss with your doctor the possibility of an underlying condition, such as: - Asthma - Chronic bronchitis - Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 3. *Additional testing*: Your doctor may recommend further tests, such as: - Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - Allergy testing (e.g., skin prick test) - Endoscopy or bronchoscopy 4. *Treatment adjustment*: Based on your doctor's evaluation, they may adjust your treatment plan, including: - Changing or adding medications - Increasing or decreasing inhaler dosage - Recommending lifestyle changes (e.g., avoiding allergens, quitting smoking) Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss your progress and any concerns.
