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?

My 5-year-old has enlarged adenoids and keeps getting ear infections. The doctor mentioned surgery but I'm worried can medicines shrink adenoids or is surgery the only option? What are the risks if we delay surgery?
Mild to moderate adenoid issues might improve with nasal steroids and avoiding allergens. Persistent infections may require adenoidectomy.

I had DNS surgery two days ago and now I'm getting mild to moderate pain right in the center of my forehead when I press there, sometimes even without pressing. There's also pain behind my eyes and my nose feels really dry inside. Is this normal after surgery or should I be worried?
Yes, experiencing mild to moderate pain in your forehead, behind your eyes, and a dry nose after DNS surgery is generally normal within the first few days post-operation. This is often due to inflammation, swelling, and the healing process of the tissues
