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 have a hole in my ear and it hurts a lot sometimes. Can it heal on its own without surgery? What should I do about the pain?
Yes, a hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) often heals on its own without surgery, especially if it's a small hole. You'll want to keep the ear dry and protected while it heals, and over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help with pain

I'm dealing with acute tonsillitis and have only throat pain, no fever, cold, or cough symptoms. It started on Monday, May 7th. For the first three days, I did saltwater gargles and had ginger honey, but only saw minimal improvement. So, I went to the doctor who prescribed me Zocef 500 to take twice a day. I've been taking it since Thursday, but the recovery has been really slow; today's the third day and I still feel the throat pain. I'm wondering, if I had taken Azithromycin 500 instead, would it have worked faster on the pain and bacterial infection? I've used it before and noticed a quicker recovery. Is Zocef 500 better than Azithromycin 500? If so, why am I still experiencing throat pain after taking 5 tablets?
Ideally it should work,as you say it's not working you can switch to Azithromycin 500 no problem.

I've been dealing with thick, sticky mucus in my nose and throat constantly, and now there's this weird cracking sound between my ear and nose. I've attached my CT scan do you think I should consider surgery right away or wait a few more months until the pandemic settles down? I'm not sure how urgent this is.
kindly share ct scan
