I'm really puzzled about this swollen lymph node I've had for 4 months. It's not changing in size at all and sometimes it hurts around my neck where it's swollen. Otherwise, I'm feeling healthy but I've noticed some weird stuff lately. Occasionally, I find what looks like black hair in my phlegm and at times, it's this greenish or greyish color. Plus, there's a kind of pressure in my throat and around my shoulder or neck blade when I take a deep breath. This all seemed to start after I got Covid in April. I also experience daily neck and back pain, probably because of my job, but I'm not completely sure if it's related. I'm just trying to understand what could be causing the swollen lymph node. Could you help me figure this out?

View allI'm dealing with tonsillitis and noticed these white patches on my throat, but weirdly, I don't have a fever. There's just a bit of congestion. Do you think it's necessary for me to take Augmentin 625 three times a day after meals for a whole week to deal with this? I've never really taken antibiotics more than once a day before, so I'm a bit uncertain about this dosage. Can you help clear this up for me?

I'm really struggling with a runny nose that's been going on for like a year now. Whenever I take citrazine, it works for about three days, but then the symptoms just come back. I remember using Efcorlin nasal drops around 10 years ago for the same issue, and it helped a lot. Is there any way I can get a prescription for it online? It's been quite frustrating to deal with this on a regular basis.
