I've had cervical lymphadenopathy for over 6 years with multiple lumps in my neck that haven't grown much recently. No biopsy or FNAC has been done yet, and I'm unsure if it's serious. I can't afford expensive surgery right now are there any other options to reduce or get rid of these lumps without breaking the bank?

needs P/E for better advice.

I've been dealing with this constant coughing, headache, and runny nose, especially at night, and it's been really bothering me. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Azithromycin and Montek LC on the same day to help with these symptoms. Could this combo help, or should I be worried about any side effects?

That looks like sinusitis, you can take both tablets on same day no problem.

I've been dealing with sinus issues for the last four years and it's really tough to breathe through my left nostril. I'm a bit worried and wondering if Ayurveda could help with DNS instead of opting for surgery. What do you think?

it is a minor surgery ,surgery is the best option for DNS
