I've had a lump next to my right ear tragus for about a year and it's been growing bigger lately. Sometimes it hurts too. Should I consider surgery or are there other options? What do you suggest I do about it?

It's crucial to see a doctor for evaluation of the lump near your tragus, especially since it's growing and causing pain. A doctor can determine the cause and recommend the best course of treatment, which may or may not involve surgery

View allI'm pretty worried because my mom just had an endoscopy and they found her left vocal cord isn't working right the report mentioned something about left side vocal cord paralysis. The doctors said there's no infection and no clear cause, calling it idiopathic. They've suggested a CT scan, but I'm really anxious about what might be causing this. Can you shed some light on what could lead to vocal cord paralysis like this?

I'm dealing with a dry nose and mouth after recovering from Covid-19. I'm drinking about 3 liters of water every day, but the issue still persists, especially at night. I'm also taking a 0.5 mg anxit tablet for anxiety. What else can I do to get some relief?
In addition to staying hydrated, you can try using a saline nasal spray for your dry nose. Also, consider using a humidifier in your room at night to help with the dryness. If the symptoms persist, you can consult with your doctor about using a medication like pilocarpine (Salagen) to stimulate saliva production.
