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've been dealing with a sore throat that started a couple of months ago. I took antibiotics for a week, and it seemed to clear up. But theres this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side of my throat. After meals, tiny food particles and debris get trapped there, and I often have to gargle to get rid of them. There's no pain, fever, or cough, but I recently removed a tonsil stone myself. Should I be worried that this is something serious? Im concerned and would appreciate some advice. Oh, and the picture I took is inverted, where left means right and right means left.
Yellow liquid discharge from the ear can be a sign of an ear infection, such as otitis externa or otitis media. It's essential to consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for evaluation. They may perform an otoscopy, take a sample for testing, or prescribe antibiotics. Keep the ear dry and avoid inserting objects. Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

I've been dealing with a lot of earwax in my right ear, and after seeing a doctor, they gave me ear drops for 10 days specifically for that ear. In September, they used micro suction to clear it out, which was fine at first, but now I notice this constant 'teeee' tinnitus sound in my right ear. It was really faint at first, but now, in late October, it's become a lot more noticeable, especially when I'm in a quiet place or trying to sleep. I'm worriedis this something that will go away on its own, or could it be due to some kind of injury from the procedure? Also, should I be taking any specific medicine to help with this? Its only happening in the ear where the wax was removed, and I didnt have this issue right after the procedure. What do you think?
That needs evaluation cant be adviced with this history visit your doctor for further rvaluation.
