I'm a bit worried because I've been having some pain and swelling on the right side of my neck where a lymph node is located. I went for an FNAC test, and the report says there's a right submandibular swelling, but the stain for AFB is negative. The findings mentioned something about a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. I'm really anxious about what this means. Could you help me understand this condition a bit better and let me know if it's something I could pass on to others?

I've had this bad throat for about a week, and I've been managing it with saltwater gargles. But last night, I experienced severe pain in my ear, so I took ALTHROCIN 500. The ear pain seems to be gone this morning, but now my ear feels closed. Is it alright that I took ALTHROCIN, especially since I've already taken two tablets?
