Question

I've had these nodes near my ears for the last 34 years they keep getting enlarged and then degrade on their own. Recently, both sides of my earlobes became swollen, inflamed, and really painful. This happens every six months. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with medication? What's the best solution?

Recurrent lymph node swelling may need FNAC/biopsy; antibiotics work for infection, but surgery needed if cystic or abscessed.

Question

I've been feeling like I might have accidentally swallowed a toothbrush bristle while brushing, and now it seems like it's stuck in my throat. But I'm not totally sure if it's actually there or if it's just in my head. On top of that, I've been dealing with a cough for over a week now. Could these things be related, and is there something I should do?

Question

I've been smoking a bit of weed for the past four years, not a lot, but consistently. Lately, I've had a cold, and now every morning I wake up with a really dry throat and this burning sensation. I'm not sure if it's just because of the cold or if the weed is causing it too. Is there a risk of developing serious throat issues from using weed frequently?

Question

I've been noticing a weird smell in both my nose and mouth, and it's really bothering me. It's like an irritating scent that just wont go away. I even tried applying Vicks, but the smell still comes back. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can get rid of it?
