From your description, it seems you have a nasal polyp that is a non-cancerous growth that most often develops in the nasal or sinus lining. Go see an ENT doctor for further evaluation, because polyps can cause breathing problems and other complications if untreated. Do not try to press or squeeze the lump, as this might irritate your skin and make the condition worse.

Hi, my daughter (18 yrs) noticed a nodule towards the back of her neck below her right ear, about 4 days back. It has since developed into a sore throat and productive cough. Please advise a suitable remedy. Thank you!

It could be a lymph node or a cyst, and a sore throat and cough could be unrelated or just the symptoms of a contraction. Please talk to a ENT doctor

I started Prednisolone (25mg) 2 days ago, for an allergic reaction. I am supposed to take full doses for 3 days, then half does for 3 and then stop. I believe this medication is affecting other medications I am currently taking. Am I able to stop taking it?
Female | 27
I suggest you don't stop prednisolone abruptly. It is necessary to finish the whole set of drugs in accordance with your doctor's prescription. If you have any side effects or drug interactions you should talk to your doctor. They can assess the unique requirements of your case and alter the treatment plan for you.

Tetanus is a serious disease that is caused by bacteria getting into the body through cuts or wounds. Symptoms are, however, muscle stiffness and spasms, especially in the jaw and neck. If you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years, it's crucial to get one after an injury to stop tetanus. Treatment consists of cleaning the wound, taking antibiotics, and getting a tetanus shot if necessary.

Drinking from a water bottle with mildew could potentially be harmful to your health. Mildew is a type of mold that grows in moist conditions and can lead to respiratory issues and allergies.
If you see mildew in your bottle, avoid drinking from it and clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water, a bleach solution, or vinegar solution. Make sure the bottle is completely dry before using it again.
