I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a small lump on the right side of my neck. It feels a bit firm, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if it could just be a swollen lymph node. It hasn't really changed in size or become painful, but it's making me anxious. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own? What could be causing this lump, and do I need to get it checked out soon?

My mom's eardrum is ruptured and sometimes bleeds from her ear. The doctor in Bangalore suggested surgery but I'm really worried since she's 49. Will she face major issues with this condition? Are there any other treatment options besides surgery?
