Should I recheck movable cervical lymph nodes after FNAC results?
Hello doctor, so in 2022 I was diagnosed with typhoid in March. It was a 15-day treatment course. I made a full recovery in 1 month. Then, in July, I found 2 lymph nodes in my neck (level Il & IV), each less than 1cm. They were movable. The FNAC result was left cervical small swelling, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. The lower one shrank a bit with meds, but today I noticed both nodes are still there and movable, just like 2 years ago. Do l need to get it checked again or is it normal?

Lymph nodes are small defenders in your body that help fight infections. Sometimes, they stay a little swollen even after the infection is gone. In your case, the nodes are small and movable, which is a positive sign. Since they haven’t changed in size over the past two years and aren’t causing any issues, it’s likely just your body’s way of managing past infections. However, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on them. If they grow, become painful, or new symptoms appear, it's best to get them checked again for peace of mind.

I'm 24 years old person I'm facing a throat issue I can't drink water, side of my throat I'm threatening more pain I can't eat too
Male | 24
Based on your description, it appears that you are experiencing a lot of pain, making it hard to swallow liquids and solid foods. The possible causes could be an infection, inflammation, or allergies. Keeping water intake might be difficult, so have warm broths or herbal teas instead of water. Pain relievers bought over the counter can alleviate the pain to some extent. Still, these are just temporary remedies. It is my firm belief that you should obtain accurate and professional help from healthcare practitioners to diagnose the source and give you the preferred therapeutic regimen. The most important thing for you is to be healthy, and therefore, a clinician, knowing your specific case, is in a position to offer the most suitable professional support and attention.

Having some things inside the throat
Female | 20
Feeling like something is stuck in your throat can happen for several reasons. You might have eaten too quickly or didn’t chew your food well enough. Acid reflux or stress can also cause this sensation. To help relieve it, try drinking plenty of water, eating slowly, and not rushing your bites. Managing stress can also help reduce this feeling. Following these tips may provide some relief.

So I have really bad allergies and I think I might have a sinus infection. My snot is bright yellow, sometimes clear, and very slimy. However, sometimes I'll see a little bright green sticky booger but it's mostly just bright yellow and clear. My throat has been sore and I can't smell what do you think?
Female | 16
It seems like you might have a sinus infection, which is when your sinuses become swollen and filled with mucus. Yellow or green snot is a sign of infection. Additionally, a sore throat and difficulty smelling could indicate a problem with your sinuses. To help yourself feel better, try using a saline nasal rinse and drink plenty of water. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, consult a ENT specialist, they can offer more assistance.

Why I have Partial hearing loss from my left ear and when I apply pressure by closing my nose , mouth, air come out from my ear
Male | 26
The Eustachian tube is a little passage. It links your middle ear to your nose's back area. This tube can get blocked, causing partial hearing loss in that ear. When you close your mouth and nose, air might come out of your ear if you apply pressure. To help open the Eustachian tube, try yawning or chewing gum. If this issue persists, it's wise to see an ENT doctor.

My aunt suffering with black fungus, symptoms are observed 3 days before will she recover Please reply sir
Female | 55
Black fungus is a disease that can occur in people with weakened immune systems, like those who have uncontrolled diabetes. Symptoms can involve a stuffy nose, facial pain, swelling, and black crusts in the nose. Treatment every time requires antifungal medication and, in some cases, surgery. Recovery is possible with a good approach that includes beginning treatment early and it depends on the individual health condition. Find an ENT specialist to treat this condition.

I was suffering from viral fever in the last week. On 30th December 2024 i felt symptoms of Eustachian tube dysfunction (even have sinus issues) and yesterday for the first time i had a pain in the mastoid bone of my ear, it's swollen and red too and the pain in spread out in my half face (upper jaw teeth pain), neck pain and all... In the past i had issues related to TMJ where while chewing my jaw used to get locked and have suffered serious neck ache like the one I'm having right now in addition to the pain in throat (especially while swallowing).. do i have mastoiditis??
Female | 17
You seem to have a few very worrying symptoms, which are earache and swelling, that are a hint at an ear infection and, in some cases, mastoiditis. Your facial, neck, and throat discomfort may be connected as well. The matter of getting you checked out is to have all aspects of your position estimated. Your history of TMJ and headaches could be the other causes of the discomfort. There are treatments that could work, such as those that lessen the swelling and the pain, and they may produce the result you want. Finally, the accurate examination must be conducted by a physician.

I’m a 22 female. One day, probably 3 days ago i started feeling my voice cracking. It felt funny, didn’t have any other symptoms, have happened to me before. In the evening i went to concert and tried that “wooh“ and couldn’t. Sounded awful. I didn’t thought anything serious, later after talking a while, it got better. Had some lozenges. Next morning i had almost no voice. Well, I thought whatever, and went to work (as a barista). Almost all of the time my colleague talked. But i had to a bit as well. As day went on it got worse n worse. Hard to swallow. Sore throat. Nothing else. Had Decatylen (pills and spray), herbal lozenges, GeloRevoice, teas, NAC, vitamin c with honey. One time it was acid, then antacid worked. But not this time. I don’t know what to do anymore
Female | 22
It sounds like you’re experiencing laryngitis, likely due to vocal strain or a mild infection. The symptoms you describe—voice changes, soreness, and difficulty swallowing—are common in these cases. To help, ensure you stay well-hydrated, rest your voice as much as possible, and consider warm saltwater gargles for the throat. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment. Prioritizing your vocal health is important, and seeking guidance can provide you with the best path forward.

Hi doctor I have nasal drip from last two months and not getting well and i am allergic to cocunut and have sometimes green mucus coming from mouth sometimes why
Male | 14
Lingering nasal drips have mucus flowing down your throat's back constantly. Green mucus often signifies an infection. Being allergic to coconut might irritate and worsen this issue. To relieve symptoms, use saline nasal sprays and stay hydrated well. If it doesn't get better, consider consult an allergist/ ENT specilaist who can help further.

Female | 38
There must be concern about the lumps on your tonsil. They might mean an infection, for example, tonsillitis, which will make the throat swell and hurt. Additional signs could be trouble swallowing, fever, and halitosis. Whatever the lumps are, see an ENT specialist to get them treated.

Uvula inflammation problem uvula hang on tongue
Male | 17
Irritation of the uvula occurs when the tiny fleshy thing dangling at your throat's rear gets inflamed and reddened. It causes a sensation like something's stuck, tickling your throat. Infections, allergies, or excessive snoring could trigger this. To soothe it, consume chilled beverages and refrain from spicy fare. If discomfort persists, consulting an ENT specialist is advisable.

Male | 30
The symptoms that you mentioned such as the pressure in your forehead, stiff neck, and confusion could be due to severe sinusitis and polyps on the left nostril. The presence of the discharge of yellow and white, as well as the nasal congestion, is a clear indication of a sinus problem. Medication such as sinus sprays, antibiotics, or surgery mainly to clear the polyps is used. You had better consult an ENT specialist who will provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the proper treatment for you.

Ear pain could signal an ear infection. Symptoms like ear ache, hearing difficulty, and fever can occur. Bacteria or viruses often cause these infections.

I am a 17 male who is visiting France from the US. I just got to France yesterday, but was in UK for 9 days before that. Yesterday, my dad started experiencing symptoms, and today, my mom, my sister, and I are all experiencing symptoms as well. My main symptom is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. As a tourist, our options are limited. I have started taking OTC Humex Rhume to help with symptoms.
Male | 17
You and your family may have caught a cold virus, which is highly contagious when people are in close contact. Some symptoms that come along with having a cold include a sore throat and trouble swallowing. Taking over-the-counter Humex Rhume can relieve these symptoms. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.

My left ear has been crackling for a few months now and i got told by a nurse it was blocked and i got my ear syringed two days ago and i was hoping that would stop my ear crackling but it's still crackling after two days since i got my ear syringed is that normal?
Male | 37
Though it's a good thing you got your ear syringed, the ear still crackles which is totally normal. Occasionally, the sensation will last a little while after the procedure. Ear crackling could be the result of the presence of fluid in the middle ear or what is called Eustachian tube dysfunction. Sometimes, you can make yawning or chewing gum movements to relieve the discomfort. If it doesn't get better, see your ENT doctor for more advice.

If I have ulcers inside my throat, what should I do and which medicine should I take?
Male | 18
You might have throat ulcers if swallowing or talking causes pain and it feels like there are sores. These ulcers can occur due to infections, acid reflux, or certain medications. Avoiding spicy, acidic foods and drinks is crucial for healing. Gargling with warm salt water can provide relief. Staying hydrated and consuming soft, easy-to-swallow foods aids recovery. However, if the discomfort persists, over-the-counter pain medication may be necessary.

I feel pressure in my throat or like a lump or something stuck it is like someone held my throat and the pressure is worse I feel like it gets worse during night I had neck pain few days ago I don't know if it is due to my posture or something else now not much pain and my saliva is kinda thick I kinda feel anxious when I think about it I lost 1 kg today and also like that throat thing goes upto my head I kinda feel like that
Female | 17
It's understandable to feel concerned about the sensation in your throat and the pressure you're experiencing. These symptoms can arise from anxiety, muscle tension, or postural issues. Thick saliva and neck discomfort may contribute to this sensation as well. Staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques could help alleviate discomfort. However, since these symptoms are persistent and impacting your daily life, it’s advisable to consult a physician. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored advice, ensuring you're supported and informed.

I have stuffy and runny nose since 3 weeks, have been using decongestants that provided some relief, but since last 3 days it is worse, continues runny nose all day, at the same time the nose is stuffy and heavy. Mucus from runny nose is mostly clear. In the morning I might cough out some yellow mucus.
Female | 37
You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.
