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'm struggling with a really bad cough because of what I think is post-nasal drip from allergies, and I'm not sure who to see. Should I go to an ENT specialist or is a pulmonologist better for something like this? I'm just trying to figure out the best route for treatment.

I've been noticing this clicking sound in my ear whenever I swallow, but there's no pain involved. I'm just curious if this is normal and happens to others too, or if it might indicate something's not right. Any insights?
