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 related questions
Male | 18
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.

Can drinking from a mildew water bottle make me sick
Male | 36
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.

Do not hesitate to acknowledge that the uneasiness or confusion you feel can come from a variety of reasons, such as stress, insomnia, or even nutritional deficiencies. Symptoms can be tiredness, anxiety, or moodiness. You might try starting with relaxation techniques, consuming a balanced diet, and sleeping well to get relief. If these feelings last, I would suggest that you contact a healthcare provider who can give you personalized advice and support. Your health is important, and asking for help is a good sign of recovery.

There is a potential drug interaction between Rixol syrup and Mebel DS tablet when these two are administered together. It occasionally gives rise to symptoms such as discomfort of the stomach, nausea, and dizziness. It is best not to use them at the same time if this is not advised by a doctor. In the case when you notice any strange side effects after taking both of them, you should immediately stop and contact your physician for directions.
