I've noticed a small lump under my jaw that I can feel when I press in, and it's also noticeable when I put a finger in my mouth and one under my jawit can move side to side. It's rubbery, doesn't hurt, and hasn't changed in size, staying about the size of a pea. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about or if it's just normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The lump you've described, which is palpable when pressing under the jaw, movable, rubbery, and painless, is likely a benign lymph node or a salivary gland stone or cyst; however, to rule out any potential concerns, schedule an appointment with a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)

View allThe ENT doctor did a full face x-ray and said one side of my nostril bone is bent and blocking some space, leaving very little room on that side. They gave me 10 days of medicine but I'm worried will the bone go back to normal with just meds or will I need surgery? I feel weak because I can't get enough oxygen through that nostril, what should I do?
It's understandable to be worried about a bent nostril bone and difficulty breathing. It sounds like you may have a deviated septum. While the ENT doctor prescribed medication, it's unlikely the bone will straighten itself back to normal on its own, and you may need surgery. Your ENT doctor will be able to guide you best on your particular case. If you are experiencing significant difficulty breathing, you should consult your ENT doctor again

I'm having this constant pain in my ear canal after I scratched it and a doctor used hydrogen peroxide to clean it. My mom suggested using warm ghee and turmeric, but it's still hurting a lot. I'm really worried because seeing a doctor nearby is super pricey. What else can I do to help with the pain?
Use antibiotic ear drops such as Ciplox-D ear drops. You can instill 4 drops into the affected ear 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep your ear dry and avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention.
